I moved a lot of bricks twice today.

I know some people value poetry.
When I write it it is to brutalize the language and eschew intelligence and context.
Huh?
Poetry is silly, and for the young.

I'm adequately medicated, and depression still wins a lot of days.

I had so many bones in my freezer, I had to roast them, and a bunch of veggies. I'll have, what, 16 litres of chicken water by the end?

My most recent drop of wood chips is a mycelial miracle; There are Mushrooms everywhere.

I've been spending a lot of time in the garden since being laid off. Is Mutual aid a possibility instead of a new "job" if we get enough of us in on it?

Whataboutism is intended to kill conversation. It's a propaganda technique to sidetrack the current conversation.

I planted some bulbs, scattered some seeds, and cleared up some more garden stuff today.

I believe that Fascism has removed my sense of humour. OR, i don't think we need to joke about the misery being created for our fellow humans.

When I tell you that I am a Communist that does not make it my job to educate you.
Understanding that ideological complexities are not what you believe them to be is your burden. am willing to offer resources. If your reaction is knee-jerk that comes from your misunderstanding, not my deep study.

There is a historical context to wartime leaders meeting with other officials in their battle garb. Churchill did it in the 1940s visiting the White House.

I read at a post-grad level, and I paid attention in class. History and otherwise. Maybe listen when I talk.

Recognizing that I need to be careful about not falling completely into confirmation bias. And not falling for the bleary-eyed optimism of corporate media. Or into the warlike hatred of the right wing. Then somehow stay informed, and clear-sighted.
