This thread is amazeballs and sad and unbelievable.

The poet, Rachel McKibbens, she has lived A LIFE. She wrote poetry, got it published.

Then she found out one of her poems was plagiarized, and THAT POEM got nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

A poem that plagiarizes me was nominated for a Pushcart. I HOPE WE WIN!

And then the plagiarist tattooed the words she took from McKibbens on her own body.

The thread starts with the first tweet, definitely worth a read. And no, you do not steal from poets. They will cut you.
