No amount of self care, screen time apps, or deleted social media accounts will fix a system designed to harvest the entirety of the working poor’s time, attention, and wealth. I wish I could give you some cool, socialist answer involving ski-masks and small calibers, but that won’t work either. The change arrived long ago, and it’s here to stay.

A black box containing the following poem, with a black and white rosy maple moth design on the side.

Have I made you laugh
I really hope I can
I'm worth more as a jester
Than I was as a man
If I can place joy
Next to your sorrow And make you think Of a better tomorrow
Then all the king's beatings Would sting a bit lighter For if your fire burns hot
I can make it grow brighter
Every one of my gaffs Is made for that purpose I'll leave you with laughs
As I'm faking my service
I may not be the one Who strangles the king
But it will be done by a man
Who likes how I sing

Will I find a title by the time I finish the book? Depends on how maybe more times the jester wants to write

A picture of a city from a parking lot at night. The wet pavement and the side of a brick reflects a warm light from the street lamps, as a cool blue night sky overtakes them.

A blurry, coolly lit air of a cemetery at night. The path ahead stretches into the horizon as the moon peaks over the distant trees.

An orange spider in a window. The trees outside set a dark backdrop, illuminating some webbing by the spiders body.

A black box containing the following poem with a marble hand pointing with two fingers to the side.


Break it off in my flesh
If you wish to show me mercy
I would rather bear the iron of my defeat
Than bleed out unworthy
My blades are all dull And can do you no harm My flesh in made of cotton And my armor made of yarn
A fool like the others
Here only as a gaff
For I will die on the battlefield
When my only purpose was to laugh
A joke that is good
As any I could tell
Just don't let them forget
The day the jester fell

A black box containing the following poem with a green and white mug to the side.

Something is broken
I'm not sure where The water in the glass And the glass in the air
Tumbling down
In a space with no end
If the glass hits the bottom
Will the glass bend?
Has it already shattered
Is that what I'm feeling?
How could a glass break
When there's no floor or ceiling?
It was dropped
Many
Years back
It has yet to meet a floor
Upon which it will crack
The anticipation
Is it as bad as the shatter?
Or does it just remind you That none of this matters

A black box containing the following poem with a RGB spider design from IWFs work at IL Studios

I am overtaken
By clouds in an unfamiliar sky
They glide across my hills And settle into the valley
Beating through the hollow chest Of a beast I once knew so well
Their shadow corrupts
Until the rivers bear no fruit
See me now, wandering bird
With bones no weaker than my own
Take solace in the wind that is pure For the stale air is sour to the tongue

I’d rather you hate me
Than hurt when I’m gone
I’d rather you leave
Than hear bitter songs
I’d rather rot
All alone
I hate when you to cry
But I cant reach the phone
When I die
By my hand
Please let me rot
Alone in the sand
Bury me deeply
Until I don’t smell
Please let me rot
In my own hell

Hollow and empty
A vessel once full
Left if in the sun
Till the contents were null
Nothing left to give
And no want to take
Should I pretend that I’m happy
When they know that it’s fake
I’ve given up
On dreaming for myself
Because my dreams aren’t worth
The books on my shelf

Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Break it off in my flesh
If you wish to show me mercy
I would rather bear the iron of my defeat
Than bleed out unworthy
My blades are all dull And can do you no harm My flesh in made of cotton And my armor made of yarn
A fool like the others
Here only as a gaff
For I will die on the battlefield
When my only purpose was to laugh
A joke that is good
As any I could tell
Just don't let them forget
The day the jester fell

Horn o plenty
I blow through thee
Plainly hollow
And empty
All that was taken Won't be returned
None has been given
None has been earned
My stomach does ache And my back grows sore
For I cannot play
The horn anymore

I see the cave when I close my eyes
A place where many fires once burned
Only ash could ever remain
Of a place like that
Where the fire lights Will too see darkness
Those who are warmed in its glow
Will soon feel cold
No flame may burn forever
When it's cast upon our eye
The only thing that will remember you Left to be remembered

Why are people looking for Barack & Michelle to be their saviors now in this moment? Because they have a media empire selling their image off his white house legacy when he was busy droning & deporting the whole term? Get real heroes I beg of you. There is nothing they can speak to fascism.
