Are we supposed to fight for farmers who overwhelmingly voted for him again?
Sorry, but I’m too busy making sure trans kids aren’t killed or pushed to self-harm by g*d’s army.
Hint: you’ll know them by their love.

We don’t need to say “accused”. If he was innocent, we’d have that report yesterday.

Yup! Still rebuilding my org accounts, but seeing engagements go up. My personal account is still a desert, but I haven’t put in nearly as much time rebuilding the friend list & finding new people.

As flames consume the house,
Friends, relatives, envy-post
how the light looks like
success, a star gone supernova

Rest up, our journey has not quite ended and we need you in our fellowship!

People I love act
like it isn’t there, re-enact
past abuses, make tribal
excuses, and revel
in the gonzo of our now.
When the tongue catches fire,
ignites the drapes, the couch,
I search in vain for brother
Rousseau
to extinguish the disaster.

True, the sight of a naked tongue
is comedy gold, winning fun
for ratings, the bloviation
of its boasts aligned
with every Sunday School
vice
I watch it slither
off the television,
across the living
room floor, breed
monosyllabic
misfits, confuse
tantrum with cogent
thought.
