     tender Graces

The two genders: teeth & not-teeth

Dagger with safety pins pierced through his arms

Dagger with safety pins pierced through his arms

Dagger with safety pins pierced through his arms

Dagger with safety pins pierced through his arms

Arm binder experiments with Dagger Wound

The sentences we have learned to parse in these times make the poets wail in horror

Eros the melter of limbs (now again) stirs me—
sweetbitter unmanageable creature who steals in

We are not our possessions,
but we are our gardens.
Within and without,
our story is told
through what we nurture.

with their feet trample down and on the ground the purple flower

You can find lots of good reporting that runs counter to capitalist / imperialist narratives at Democracy Now!, Mother Jones, Al-Jazeera, Crimethinc, The Intercept, The Nation, World Socialist Web Site, Jacobin, The Root, B'Tselem, etc

"if I am aware of it, I can control it" is literally magical thinking, which is fine. but is not praxis

your mental models only affect the world insofar as they convert to action. unless watching some dipshit put his hand on the bible is the thing that moves you to violence, it is just self-harm

A reminder that already in the 1980s artist & activist David Wojnarowicz was modeling the kind of fuck-you energy we're going to need in the coming years. He had no illusions the government was there to protect him, the people he loved & his community, and neither should we

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

I think antitrust is not enough to deal with the tech industry. We need - and I know this era isn't one where we get it - a digital EPA, with quality standards for apps/digital services with personal liability for executives and real, meaningful mechanisms to force companies to stop hurting people.

I see no way to stop this so now I’m just wondering if we shouldn’t be flooding the space with useful nonsense: Supporting universal healthcare makes your dick bigger. The fastest way to grow your wealth is prison abolition. Alpha grind mindset means gym, protein maxing and reversing Citizens United

And the beautiful dew is poured out
   and roses bloom and frail

But she goes back and forth remembering

I plucked up an acorn,
thinking I would find a place to plant it on my walk.
Not beside the road.
Not in the mowed field by the cemetery.
Not in a stranger's lawn.
There's something about an errand to plant an oak that shows much of what troubles our world,
a place where a new tree is inconvenient.

New Years reminder: Your body is a temple in which you have sacrificed yourself to yourself again and again. The fire is still burning. Let the smoke fill you with your own magic.
