🏳️‍🌈 Mother Of Exiles 🏳️‍⚧️

I'm pretty convinced that Booker did it primarily to write a book. Lots of personality but little substance from him after all that.

Markley has a good, long progressive track record and has done this before. What it does, I don't really know. Hope the historians learn something.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY SORRY FOR OUR DELAY WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS A REAL DAY.

Holding him accountable now by shutting him down effectively nullifies shitlib protests about how The Left is toxic and will happily harbor the worst rhetoric just to be reactionary.

Rat Czar

it's depressing but unsurprising that the guy's campaign was legitimately too good to be true. could've been nice!

ah, nevertheless

if Platner had covered his swastika up with a Dickbutt tattoos and i think I'd be on board

I'm an alcoholic in recovery and Every Barb has a lot of feels I relate to. Maybe I'm projecting my feels but poetry is so kind about letting me do that.

A lot of need to control what gets in, what gets out, and how that impacts how I view my role in the world.

The line in Each Barb about the gardenias speaks to me very clearly. Reminds me of when I had a pothos plant I killed. I put it outside and it came back! I brought it back in to "care" for it and it died. I didn't need to grasp so tightly. I could have enjoyed it without owning it. I learned a lot.

I love them all. Hag gets me when I need to bring up that old vilified thing inside of me and look at it again and see that it isn't nasty and ugly so much as it is a finely tuned feature of myself that I get to choose to embrace. Why bother having princesses if there are no hags? We are all.

That last line hits.

I walk the world and I want to make their ears ring with my fury but they cannot hear me and my head is forever aching and it always has and they will never hear so it's another day at a time because the future is a never-changing horror.

DISCOUNT SHOPPING THROUGH THE APOCALYPSE All of us women in T.J. Maxx are sweating. We talk ice packs, plant estrogens, black cohosh, the shots that will lead us to love our bodies by losing most of our bodies, the internet says. The hangers slip off their clothes. It is not summer. The radio proclaims a high of 90°. I’m looking more than ever at the mirror, which looks back at me more like my mother than ever. Eat your vegetables, the mirror says. Hold your shoulders up. Why do you never mop. I glow a rage so incandescent it’s indistinguishable from the sun, which the internet wishes would just go ahead and explode. A friend sends an article about an asteroid that may or may not be

aimed to end the earth. Destroy me, daddy, my friend writes. Three emojis eject their tongues from pink half-moon mouths. I refuse to walk down the pinkest aisles. This isn’t the time for pale, I say. This isn’t the time for longing or low-slung pants, for pretending the eyes are windows for anything other than reflected light. All of us women in T.J. Maxx dwell in bodies that have fewer rights than the day they were born. I wish my teeth would grow into knives, my nails into actual nails. At a frequency too high for human ears, each woman’s body emits a constant wave of sound. Like a siren. Like a howl.

heyyyyy i've got four poems in the latest issue of @loverseyepress.bsky.social about being a woman in this apocalyptic hellscape, including this one. you can visit the poems holding my rage here: www.loverseyepress.com/post/4-poems...

the Platner discourse has frustrating echoes of the Newsom discourse, in that people seem to want us to just give up now and lock in without waiting to see if something better turns up. this isn't blackjack! we can keep asking the dealer to turn over more cards for like another YEAR

Get off the white male savior machine, folks.

I believe him to my core.

reminds me of kiting cheques

I'm running for President of my Home and I'm going to be my most toxic supporter.

They should knock down the rest of the White House while they're at it and take out a few memorials too. I'm kind of over it.

People display things that speak to their values. They don't display things just for historical context when none is being called for.

Sounds like a man who would use a variety or two of the N word and excuse it by saying he's teaching about slavery. Anything to normalize bigotry.

We don't talk about heretic turtle.

Abo Jameel’s account was deleted, this is the new one. Please share and help if you can!

Without downloading new pics, what is it like to date you?

Oh, and the flag only came out when we did WW2. He gave us a lot of context for why he was bringing it and why it wasn't just on display.

Deep South Alabama in the 90s here and I saw confederate flag tattoos but never a nazi one. Only nazi flag I saw was in my world history class. Our teacher had a lot of memorabilia from both sides. He did actual historian work, too. No holocaust denial in that classroom.

At least Vogons appreciate poetry.

When Democrats appeal to the base, they are appealing to the widest audience they can and it dilutes their message to nothing.

When Republicans talk about their base, they are appealing to their lowest common denominator which brings their worst intentions into clear focus.

You're not tricking me into googling stonetoss dick

Lolol poor editors! And I agree that a lot of readers aren't NT (myself included) and for me, that leads to me getting sidetracked trying to understand what someone is saying and not picking up that they're describing something in a way that I cannot comprehend.

Bitter seawater is a great example.

We bought sex toys and hardly ever used them! 😭😭😭 Dude was good at eating pussy and was getting better. A loss for humanity.

Logging off and being in community or in nature is restorative. Trying to relax or be in community exclusively online is not fulfilling for me.
