Carrot and the stick: If you play along, there's a chance you get rich enough to be in the clear. This happens for almost none of us. If you don't--or can't--play the game well enough, you starve, can't get healthcare, and literally end up in jail or dead. It does not need to be this way.

Happy(!) to share one of my favorites from my #zine, The Neo-Serf Shuffle. Observer Effect was written about the lighting in my room, my appreciation of it, and how the application of my selfish, human logic to the light immediately corrupts it. #art #writing #poetry #winter

Another #poem from my new #zine, The Neo-Serf Shuffle. This one also isn't explicitly political (but we all know that even tea is #political) Reminder that I would love to share free physical or digital copies of this #selfpublished political zine!

"The spoken word is one of the triumphs of humanity," he proclaimed, "and I intend to continue using it, particularly with people I don't trust." - Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time L'Engle's works still inspire me today in these dark times. #literature #writing #reading #language

Thank you, Trump, Musk, and RFK Jr., for liberating me from the freedom to access the medicine I need. Thanks a lot. 🖕

Let's talk about Peter Thiel's anti-democratic connections. Curtis Yarvin is a political blogger who has been cited by Thiel, JD Vance, and other GOP strategists in his anti-democracy works. He attended Trump's 2025 inauguration gala as a "guest of honor." #SomethingWrongUSA #Resist

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

The next poem from The Neo-Serf Shuffle: Poors Pay More. This is one of the explicitly political pieces in the zine. I wrote this thinking about how the cost of living keeps going up while our beautiful country is being sold off to private interests. #Zine #art #poetry #writing

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Anyone X vets or smart people in my feed able to add additional context to this? I'm just some guy with an Excel spreadsheet. Wondering how descriptive stats of DOGE's posts could vary so much organically. 1/2 #DOGE #StopElonMusk #Data #Gov #Twitter

Forget politics. Forget party lines. What's happening is bigger than all of that. This is about people who have enough stopping people who DON'T have enough from ever getting a leg up. Period. GOP is an American face on an incredibly sinister, insidious & powerful force. No war but the class war.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

This level of conflict of interest and lack of transparency is unprecedented and rife with opportunity for self-enrichment. This is unacceptable.
