Arliden the Bard

If I was asked
to describe you beauty
it is both blatant
yet subtle
an undeniable fact
that still needs
careful examination

the way you weave
paradoxes into one
turning contradiction
into wonder

and no matter how much
I know you
I'll never stop being curious
you are a universe
to explore

It's definitely a hard thing to calculate for the reasons pointed out, but I'd also be okay with the money distributed to the lowest 50% of income earners.

Small businesses brought the suit, they should be compensated as well.

Given the domestic influences on Thomas and Alito, it only seems fair to have some foreign influence on other judges. lol

Not to mention that...the administration claiming that it will be so laborious and bad for the economy to return the money...well they knew they were in legal dubious territory to begin to bypass congress. Too fucking bad if it's hard now. The GOP chose this path. Live with the consequences.

A gift from god apparently means genetically modifying wolves through careful breeding and selection for millennia. These people are just lunatics.

Good lord. Chairman Mao would have been so proud of this America!

On the first night the stars unnested themselves, rappelling from their cold sleepscape, their bare lonescape, aching to be among moons and yet seen, among spinning worlds and yet not spiraling alone. Spilling light, they lie on earth’s shadowlit palm. Perhaps inverting the sky will coax a hand to touch their warmth. Instead, another day of choking on demystified beats of life, which die, mid‑weep, on susurrus braids of air.

This is such a dreamy description stars...it has such an old world feel to it, like the thoughts of humans when they first felt the awe and wonder of the night sky and told stories of them.

The last part brings us into the modern day...the feeling of cold and far...while true, feels blander. 👏👏❤️

Thank you, dear Bethany, for this wonderful comment. Have a great day! 🙏😊❤️

I lay mystified
wondering why the sky changed
it used to have so much blue

the wind is chasing a melody
and I'm just praying
for a river to take me
anywhere
but I open my eyes
to a flood

and the mad irony of it all
is that if you could see me
I wouldn't be here

for you would be.
near

#vss365

You're a gem. One of the naturally occurring ones even. ❤️

I'm so sorry @dreamcatalyst.bsky.social . I saw an error and had to repost. Thank you for your like and repost! 🙏❤️

having you near
is like always being
thoroughly enchanted

I have a tendency
to always say the word
"yes"

my hands
find their own excuses
to touch

and I'm sure
my sigh's too loud
when I enjoy your smile
a bit too much

and I become sure
that I've always known you
and always will

#vss365

Ha...that's funny coincidence.

Thank you for this comment. I really appreciate you sharing your reaction. 🙏❤️

from bounty to starvation
elation to despair
we strive between extremes
bumping into the walls

and I guess
everything
is different

but everyday
you were further away
in changes
so miniscule
I stopped noticing

I stopped noticing
your details

and it's the details
that make love

I would include Russell Vought in that group horrendous human beings. He's one of the main authors behind project 2025 and is largely responsible for cutting so much scientific research and ending important government agencies. Cutting USAID is killing people and Vought has blood on his hands.

Thank you. 😊

Thank you, dear Bethany! 🙏❤️You're a role model for teenage girls everywhere! 😂

Thank you so much, Peter. ❤️😊🙏

Thank you, Daniel. Thanks for the prompt words in this first half of February! 🙏❤️

Thank you kindly, Peter! 🙏❤️

Well said. It's amazing how detached people are from their politics. And this is intentional. The GOP manufacture fear, then cause real fear themselves.

I would argue that this guy is crying as much from what he's seeing, but also the cognitive dissonance is colliding.

I mean, unless they were praying for scientists to cure the disease. lolol

the kiss of tea
as a sip
touches lips

the warm
of you being near

cuddles on the couch
watching TV
your laugh
still music
after all these years

protection
safety
you are my surest armor

there is no place
I could go
that is not better
when you're there

love,
you are everyday
and always

#vss365

Thank you, Bethany. ❤️🙏 Your avatar is clearly saying head cheerleader, but not the mean kind. You'd definitely give the new girl a spot on the squad and help her get the cute guy in her chemistry class to go out with her.

YouTube video by Ashley B Kitty Black Perkins made Black Barbie the headline. That intentionality shaped childhoods 🫶🏾

Black History Month 🤎

the night changes
from empty black
to cradle
holding us

eddies of chaos
slow their swirl
to peace

winds that once whipped
caress

where
changes from being a place
to being you

heartbeats
become melodies

though I have not done
a full accounting
the remarkable happens

when we. touch

#vss365

To be fair, there's a good reason for that. No DOJ has been as corrupt or ignored the constitution quite as much as this one has. And that includes Trump's first term.

Maybe they are just trying to prevent China from taking hockey away from Canadians. 🙄

Thank you, Daniel. 🙏🖤
