Suddenly hungry for eggplant parm

I’ve been trying to come up with the anti-MAGA acronym. Something simple and elegant to express the movement on the other side.

Today I found my acronym. It even has a nice classic ring to it.

ANEA, said ah-NAY-ah
America Needs Empathy Again

Let’s just never ever ever put it on a dumb hat.

Love is love is love
Happy Pride parade Portland!
All smiles and rainbows

Gate says “Portland, OR”
To home, family, my dog
Wistful wait to board

Perspective changes
World full of sadness to Hope
Happy engagement

(At PDX waiting for a flight and an adorable couple becomes engaged right in front of me!

A sad yoga haiku

Trauma inducing
Why does yoga trigger me?
Where is it, my calm?

Abracadabra Lady Gaga
Please please please

Elect me, and you’ll never have to vote again, Trump promises evangelicals – Baptist News Global The Republican presidential nominee was speaking at The Believers’ Summit, an event hosted by Turning Point Action, in West Palm Beach, Fla.

He already told us he’s never leaving. We should start believing him when he speaks nonsense. baptistnews.com/article/elec...

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

Wear green, black, and orange. The contrasting colors to RW&B

I have somehow found a community of haiku poets and enthusiasts here.

Haiku on Bluesky
We write of nature and love
Transcends politics

Soft crunch underfoot
Atmosphere is crisp, glowing
The earth cleansed in snow

Escape to the grove
Blue sky through sunlit green leaves

I was so happy to see you here because my feed was so politics-heavy.

Can they take away
Love, friendship, caring, kindness?
The things they lack most

I can’t move right now
Paralysis from waist down
Lap cat purrs softly

Pretzel on a recent day off. He’s the bestest little buddy ever.

I will switch focus and write a haiku about something I am grateful for every day-ish

The best coworker
Pretzel pup of the 5th floor
Works for treats and pets

I feel it, too. Every day feels like it’s the worst it can get. But then tomorrow comes.

How can I make light
Musou bleakness is darker
Today than before

A cute little haiku doesn’t feel appropriate. This isn’t the time for cute. And anxious rage doesn’t seem to work in haiku form. I don’t know what is the right form for anxious rage.

Last one coming up, until I feel a sliver of hope. Thanks for reading.

And by worse, I mean it grows exponentially worse every day. My anxiety is through the roof as I watch democracy being taken over by a power hungry narcissist who believes he is invincible. A cute little haiku is not the right response to what is happening on a daily basis.

🧵 2/3(?)

At the beginning of the year I thought it would be kind of cute to write a haiku about a news story of the day, every day. I imagined it would be kind of neat to review my haikus at the end of the year.

But then last week happened. Every day is worse than the day before.
