Note: Yeyduh K. is the Trident Poetry Collective Chief Strategy Officer. To abide by ethical non-sock puppeting and terms of service norms, she operates two Instagram accounts, one being totally volunteer and linked elsewhere with no waiver or I.D proofing required. Her online presence is unified under the handles “Fish” and “Yeyduh K.” which creates a clean break from her past career in recovery. Yeyduh is the German phonetic approximation of “Jade.”

Past Events

Manuscript Rodeo #2
The writing world can be so lonely. Sometimes you just want to tell people what your baby is for a minute. And sometimes, B.H.L.M is able to keep plugging for you through the magic of .MP4, Zoom, and Muscle Grease.
Events preceeding the launch of our website
Haiku Open Camera 1 (February, hosted on Northeast Ecstatic Poetry Reserve by Fish)
This marks the formal founding of B.H.L.M and was a one woman show put on by Yeyduh with help from her local community.
B.H.L.M became a full, for profit small business later that month, soft launched in February, and this site went live in March with around 70 page views per day in the first three days, resulting in the rarely seen “Double Algorithm Whack” after six months of private algorithm testing on Instagram and four suspensions two migrating legacy accounts through the professional/personal split:
B.H.L.M experiments with Venmo, OnlyFans, and e-commerce before settling on a website and OnlyFans age gate and waiver business model. The OnlyFans remains live under our branding, but is spread via word of mouth. ALL of our images of people require waivers, whether they be on here, Instagram, or elsewhere, and all people pictured visually are 21+.
“Haiku Advance Against Mass Incarceration”, spotlighting Etheridge Knight and Issa, held at the Foundry on January 3, 2025.
