Shared some thoughts about a weekend in NYC with another autistic friendβLoops in, voices soft, joy unmasked.
The more I meet myself with care, the less I disappear.
And that presence? It blooms in full color. π»

I've been thinking about what it means to stay present in a chaotic, performative world. I wrote this in stillness, watching bees in my wildflower garden. A poem about presence, perception, and what remains real.

Portrait-oriented photo featuring a wooden post with a rusted hanger hook jutting out of it, and standing atop the post, triumphant and at least slightly indignant, is a plump little bluebird. The bluebird is a male, and we see the electric blue of his head, but the predominant part facing us is the coppery-orange and pale white front. He is standing amidst little pink-and-red tree blossoms, but I like to imagine these are instead the extracted organs of his enemies. So let's just pretend this bluebird stands vengefully astride a scattering of viscera -- gobbets of gore taken as a prize from his unnatural and invasive foes. I'm sorry I've really made this a gross photo. It's actually quite nice. Kind of a dreamy vibe to it, what with the wall of yellow forsythia blurring in the background, and here I am adding drippy bits and internal organs. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time. Probably.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
Our country has had enough of the abuse of power of Donald Trump. Our country is uniting - and our coalition is growing. Together we stand with @indivisible.org , Womenβs March, @polrev.bsky.social @voicesofflorida.bsky.social in a UNITED nationwide mobilization β¦with a special event in DC.

Choirs are political and pointed. Always have been.

Maybe they need to look at the DOD. Oh wait, then what would they have to threaten countries with.
But ya, cutting services to the poor, cutting dei, feeding the poor, cutting our forest management employees is way better π‘

yosemite America distress flag (flag hanging upside down from cliff)
Rangers at Yosemite National Park made a powerful statement recently by hanging the American flag upside down (a sign for distressed) from a cliff in the park.
We are, indeed, in great distress.
El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside downβthe traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.
