What a shame - It is three o'clock in the morning in Yorkshire at 7pm PST and I don't think I could survive being up at such an hour. Hope it goes well!

This is the scandal. Trump isnโt targeting dangerous people. Heโs targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

So lovely! I appreciate Japanese tales of transformation. Itโs a common thread among many older cultures.

Looks like my earlier reply fell through the cracks: this is so telling. So much goes unsaid and yet EVERYTHING is understood. Definitely a confident poem! Congrats๐

adamant/timed/inattentive
we lie. persistent.
one of us adamant--
believing the pain
in the deep pocket of the body
will keep us bound,
each to each,
forever.
our cover is blown.
timed.
the situation--
like all of life that is lived:
doomed.
temporary.
we lie. persistent.
one of us inattentive--
unable to notice
that same deep pocket of pain
meant to keep us bound
each to each
forever.

hard. relevant. gaslight.
i tried to explain
why it hurt,
and you said
it wasnโt relevant.
that was the moment
the gaslight
flickered.
hard
to pretend
i didnโt
see it.

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that weโd never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.
