"The end of the world is, as Denise Ferreira da Silva has argued, a point of departure for a new kind of imagining, one that supplements the traditional work of critique with that of the imagination".

"To say there is no future, or that the future moves only in the direction of greater destruction, then we are still imagining something, even if it is a dark picture, one that shows no signs of hope. If we are imagining a fatal conclusion, we are still imaginingâ.

"All this happens not only inside the mind, but in the modalities and objects through which fearing and imagining take place: specific sensuous modes of presentation, specific media. These are not simply vehicles for preformed thought, but formative powers in themselvesâ.

Just popping in for 5 mins. Mercedes Engâs Cop City Swagger, Cecily Nicholsonâs From the Poplars or Junie DĂŠsilâs eat salt | gaze at the ocean are examples that immediately come to mind where poetry can very successful maintain a critical lens.

Aww, thanks. It helps to know about alternatives from folks who have tried it. Yes, Hazel is ridiculously sweet. Bug is adorbs!

Does xanax really work or just take the edge off? Our Hazel is really really reactive to thunder, fireworks and some construction sounds. We tried Zylkene & thundershirt but it is really expensive and requires you to use days/weeks before, which is no help if we canât anticipate the noise event.

"Everything happened in a frenzy. Four weeks and two days elapsed between Hitlerâs accession to power and the Emergency Decree... which abrogated all fundamental civil rights. It took only this one month to transform a state under the rule of law into a violent dictatorship without scruples."

"How will you explain to yourself
Seeing the sky clear, suddenly
With impunity?
How are you going to stifle
Our chorus singing
Right in front of you
In spite of you"
