Ofkettle, blessed be the steam vents, may the lord boil.

Two white candles in silver candle holders are burning in front of a vintage ham radio.

Don’t let them paint their posters with your blood

Their worth is defined
By dollars in their pocket
Not the souls content

A bank statement line?
Is that the measure of man;
Proof of their value?

Gold green cards bought, sold
By those who decide their worth
Not the souls content

Row

Row, row, row your boat.
Yup. The fuck away from me.
I’m tired of lies.

You could have voted
In everyone’s best interest
So row that boat, bye.

The head of a southern painted turtle breaks through the water. The face is green and yellow stripes

Little hatched turtle
Sporting bright and vivid green
The color of your youth

Your color starts to fade
Turning murky and blended
As you age and hide

Being vivid is
A privilege for children’s lives
Before fates take it.

Spring rain

With a heavy sigh
The clouds collect themselves and
Unite against earth

Rumbling and falling
Wasted water returns to ground
Hoping to become

Clouds and water form
An assault against barren
Thirsty soil below

#haikufeels rave

Glow sticks and glitter
Expectation and passion
Beyond wonderland

#dailyhaikuprompt
Barren landscape

Climate change was fake
And so the locusts consumed
And nothing remained

Climate change was fake
The sky was cooking the air
The dirt left parched, lost

The water is gone
Our apocalypse we made
Shame, the change was real

#dailyhaikuprompt
Daffodil

Daffodils laughing
As the world decays to dust
And grows among ashes

Stalks of green contrast
The yellow sunburst petals
Behind them, scorched earth

Daffodils laughing
Surviving where man did not
Superior life

#dailyhaikuprompt
New Moon

In darkness she hides
Shadowed by the earth below
Yet her presence exists

The absence of light
The validation of eyes
Does not define her

No apologies—
damned the expectation of
Being the light always

Congrats!! Now please protect her right to vote now that the SAVE Act is being reviewed by the Senate!

Be like the wild #donkey. #Stand your ground, no matter how #disruptive it might be. #resist

Hello, #Sedona! Love these #landscapes

Every time I see her pic i end up w the theme song stuck in my head

Have you considered a presidential bid?

Its a minor strait, no foul

No lie detected…

“What about the war on Christmas?”

I. Am. Deceased. 🤣

Scene from Monty Python and the holy grail where the nuns demand punishment for being wicked, by spankings from a handsome knight

(If you got this far, i applaud and appreciate you!)

We used all of our anger before the final vote. We were tired of that issue.

And here we are.

We were being trained for this. Do we see that now? We were being trained to hyper-focus on one issue at the exclusion of all other problems. We couldn’t collectively hold more than one at a time. It makes sense now, why the leaked Supreme Court discussion was leaked when it was.

Covid variants? Yawn. 24 hour news media information need to be refreshed often after binging for days on a topic.
/13

The 21st century also brought with it a collective disordered attention span. Everything had to be broken down into season sized bites. War in Ukraine? There were only so many episodes we could binge before we got bored.

Lockdown blues? Disney now has safe hotels and lower capacity (but disproportionately higher priced) parks to visit. Want to combat homophobia? Visa and Mastercard have pretty rainbow designs to choose from.
