The Balding Poet

“Now is the time for all Americans to show up for our libraries. Show up and use our libraries. Show up at library and school board meetings to support students’ access to diverse reading materials. Show up when elected leaders are deciding the fate of facts and the freedom to read.”

Unfortunately, probably not. Federal office run. Or, if I read correctly somewhere, the governor in Florida can’t serve more than two consecutive terms. They can sit out one election cycle and run again.

Bishop Mariann Budde didn’t mention the word “mercy” by accident.

It is mentioned hundreds of times in the Bible.

All of these “Christians” just scoffed at it.

Moms For Liberty Published Their First Book And the America First and America Best group used a Russian illustrator for it.

Did you know Moms For Liberty published their first book in November?

They did, and it's a picture book for 4-10 year olds. The kicker? They're fundraising to get it into some public schools...and they didn't even use an American illustrator for it.

But when we in our viciousness grow hard
(O misery on’t!), the wise gods seel our eyes,
In our own filth drop our clear judgments, make us
Adore our errors, laugh at ’s while we strut
To our confusion.

Unfortunately, my senators are both ardent trump supporters.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.
