The Wedding at #BadBunny's performance was real!! AWWWWW so cool ! Bless their union may they prosper together.

All the flags? Together we are America? Grammy to Liam? Fighting all of the hate with ALL of the love? Benito understood and delivered in all aspects!
THAT’S WHAT HUMANITY AND COMMUNITY IS.

"I have trouble choosing where to experience the show, caught between stage and audience. What you find in the faces of the crowd will teach you more than any philosophy text. Vice can be a prayer. Silence can unlock the soul. I gift the story, I speak the words. Performance in the land of no gods"

"The cold has settled into my flesh and grasps at my bones. I played the music to make my limbs start to bend and weave. A beat to fill my bird cage and knock off the dust of boring ages past. A melody is warmth, sensual chords are lifeblood. I capture my present in the tones that bounce within me."

This is a black dress shirt and a blood red tie. Black slacks and worn-out boots, tarnished ankh around my neck. Shaved pate and blue eyes surveying the light tracers. With the realization, I've had enough shots to call the dance floor my home for the night. Smirk.

so pale in its hue
so powerful in its reach
so simply perfect

They called them the #Slender #Ten, #pale artificial warriors, all that remained of a grand people. When they #knock, legs become #unreliable. Fall before them and suffer the ripping of your soul. Defeat one and roam the galaxy, forever inspiring fear.

My hair has begun
to pale at the root
as if touched by
lightning or the
silvery moon. I
embrace the crone
who streaks though
me for she always
knows best how to
rest, how to hex.

#blissfulness #pales her blush
what a rush
huh
up from the valley
strolled a sunday afternoon
I knew it was time to rally
the demons in the bassoon
at a symphony in the alley
that ends on a pontoon
so the jukebox don't sink
in a flooded room

clouds befriended
shading her world
#pale
fractured
little bird
never learning to fly
or understanding
why

blood always flows
either within
or without

the skin paling
against the red
a wound unseen

but I will tend to myself
I'll not let these veins go dry

my lamp
gives the light
of lambent hospital night
I've a playlist
for IV

then I'll do an accounting
of all the ways
you made me better

Is the moon's light truly #pale? — and by #pale one means it is dim, or more precisely washed-out, or still more precisely a version of sunlight so massively reduced in intensity, so thoroughly milked of colour, that #pale begins to feel less like a description and more like anaemia.

This is the most beautiful, elaborate, culturally significant set I’ve ever seen at the Super Bowl.

Whoever designed this should be paid a million dollars. #SuperBowl #BadBunny

#BadBunny 's Half-time show was amazing!!!!!

The Alberta separatist leader says they don't want to pay Federal taxes and the fools think the USA won't want taxes/payments for helping them.
In 2024 Alberta received $1646 per person in Federal transfers. Of that Alberta contributed about $250.
Those transfers don't

Attending a meeting where the leaders of the allied Factions were considering suing for diplomacy was madness for Dylan. If they intended him standing there stoically, professionally, while they discussed throwing away all the #blood spilled in this war, they would be grossly mistaken.

a poster with a mosquito and the words " give blood " ALT: a poster with a mosquito and the words " give blood "

You get under my skin
I can't ignore you
I bat you away
I know you like
my scent
and desire
my blood
but my dear mosquito
we can't go on
this way
I try to swat you
but you slip away
but soon enough
it will be judgement day

The #rhythm of #blood pounded in our ears from the failed #insurrection. The captain, wounded but again on his seat of power, engaged the ship's auto destruct. Only identifying the #culpable would #justify its termination. He lit a cigarette and waited.

"Blood is thicker than water," they say.
Partly right, in a literal way.
It drags, heavy and slow, across the floor.
A viscous red river seeping toward the door.
The family bond was a lie.
My flesh and blood left me here to die.

Overheads When I was young the constellations were glints of bone, suspended skeletons, whose mythic forms loomed large as legends; the pinned sagas of my junior skies. Then a telescope brought the stars to me. Freed from their confinement by the sound of science, I understood something of the universe’s atomic roar. I noticed colours: odd drops of blood, the discarded flecks from a manhandled bullion and tints from the deftest breath of blue. For a time, these sparks scarred me as the furthest outriders from the pomp of a Creator’s blaze. Now my exploded theology has flung these thoughts aside and all my myths have died. With only science left, half a knowledge no longer enough to hear the birth of light; and the sky is mute again, the darkness, undisguised.

Hullo #vss365 and to #blood
Another old one today.
