Politics is built on speech acts. Why did you enter politics if not with a view to improving the world? If human suffering is unacceptable to you, then use your voice and privilege to act.

When our politicians come back to us yet again with sympathetic words, it is necessary to respond: what are you actually doing to help? What powers are you using to stop a genocide? What else could you be doing to stop people being murdered today?

What's in a frame?
Trying out some old pieces in frames. Interesting to see how the frame revives (or occasionally kills) a work and its intentions.

In the burrowing slowness of indifference
βworm felt her middle jerk
watched eyeless as space opened
heard wind whisper if you only could
comprehend boggle-headed where a turn can take you.
She wrote an βSβ in the air and flicked
dirt from every violent coil.
"She wrote an βSβ in the air and flicked / dirt from every violent coil"
