There are reasons I do not sleep That go far beyond pattern And esoteric matters. Blue-black mornings Taking out the trash. Trying not to crash On the you that I carry Deep in my chest Every moment. I'd confess That you never left my side, Even though you truly did Paint your presence from the grid.

Sometimes stirrings Of a life I could still construct Are erected with others. Then, of course, it collapses In on itself because It is an excavation of my heart And there are more than mummified remains there. I am, so often, The bridge between worlds. Why can't I rebuild the bridge back to you?

Poems are an invocation; Magic, shaped and worked and mined. Passed down along generations - Mostly matrilineal lines - Though poems speak to hearts of men, In abstract just as in concrete, And women know it speaks to them In ways which transform cold to heat.

Chasing carrots should be classified As a sickness of the modern age Because the results are in. Behaviourism is a false flag fallacy. Curiosity kills no cats. Reward and punishment paradigms do. Of course, carrot sellers had shiny teeth, Their hair, lustrous with pomade. So began the death march.

This protest is the day before the third anniversary of Alice's death. If you've never protested before start here. Alice struggled to feel safe in public spaces. She felt safest at night, moving in darkness, away from the rude stares and potential threat from cis people. She was not the problem.

"The EHRC said the ruling meant that trans people could not use toilets which align with their acquired gender,but also that they could be excluded from using toilets which align with their birth sex if they look too much like the opposite gender.” For TERFs apparently all you can do is not exist 😔

Just as austerity took place in the U.K under the biggest rise ever in national debt, none of it going to poorer communities. Never trust a Tory, a Republican, a Starmerite 'Labour' pretender or anyone on the right in politics. Their only concerns are power and the bank balances of shareholders.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget: -People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000 -People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700 -People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000 This is what class warfare looks like.

Bigotry and prejudice, (especially against the marginalised), is never a sign of superiority. Never. It is always a reflection of one's ignorance at best or, quite simply, (and tragically), of a hateful heart.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

I'm not sure why anyone thinks fascists have to look like Mussolini and sound like Hitler wearing jackboots to count. It's a serious failure of education. Of COURSE today's fascists were going to be old bankers & reality T.V stars & the mad bigot bully boys who follow them. What else did you expect?

The amount of random bigots I always see commenting on the age of people like Madonna makes me sick. 🤢😡 Believe it or not they will be 'old' before they know it too, and nowhere near as worthy of respect. Ageists are as bad as racists who are as bad as homophobes and it can no longer be tolerated.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Just had a smashing conversation with a homeless man who was incredibly switched on about astrophysics. Hypothetically, if I had a super fancy dinner party, I would much rather the company of 10 homeless people than 10 CEOs. Guaranteed to learn infinitely more & have more genuine company.

Have you actually heard capitalism lately? Working 40hrs + per week but can't afford rent? Can't feed your kids? Can't afford to have kids? Get a side hustle or 3. Work harder. Burnt out? That's a personal failing, not indicative of a widespread decaying society. Man up. CAPITALISM NEEDS THE 🗑

Can I commit to see new days When you're still every sound and phrase? When you are every thought I've held Since you and I were bonded - gelled Together in a souls' embrace? How can I breath without your face? I grow old now, though I was not Until our love began to rot.

Someone just said to me that science may be the language of inquiry and the brain but religion is the 'language of the heart' 🙄 Points for the poetry but poetry itself is the greater of the two. There are better languages. If religion's the best you've got you missed something. A lot of somethings.

People learn nothing. Arendt wrote so clearly about the increasing targetting of people, starting with non-nationals, then dual nationals, then a succession of undesirable nationals. Nothing will protect you. Fascism requires an ever larger circle of enemies to blame for its own failings.

U.S politics was ruined by the cold war, it was ruined by McCarthyism, it was ruined by the tea party, but most of all it was ruined by the rich, because democracy is an impediment to capitalism, not a feature of it. Americans now have a choice only between Tories and Nazis, and they both hate you.

"You should be nice to them because I would rather have them as allies than as enemies." Listen close and listen good: Fragile allies who must be appeased to be retained are worse than no allies. They limit your options, sap energy from your cause, and can disappear the moment you lean on them.

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

I could fit most of you into my paradigm but I wouldn't wanna. I respect people's autonomy and truth too much. You could spend forever trying to push and squeeze me into yours & still come nowhere close. Don't try it. Accept ppl's truths and lived realities and stop pretending you own objectivity.

We live in a fascist oligarchy now. Pretty much a global one. That's how it is & ppl trying to deny and scoff at that because they think it has to look identical to a WW2 documentary to count are the useful idiots falling for the propaganda. They would have said 'but Hitler is good for the economy'.

The positives of religion are like the positives of empire. Sure, some might exist,(on a good day),but they are still largely outweighed by the negatives & the lasting harm caused globally by the oppression and the general hubris. Fantasies pretending to bring ppl together while driving them apart.

A burning, failing, tortured thing Fell into a deep lagoon. This soporific savant swims sluggishly, Slavishly through the thickening soup Of my thorny thickets And I have been loathe to hasten The inevitable crushing chokehold That will ensue if prodded further, For it brings nothing but finality.
