ICE agents are being seen wearing Halloween masks in the Los Angeles area.

Youre scratching at the scab-
Knowing you will miss this pain,
Loves last aching throb.

When the Soul Says, “Bitch, Wake Up.” Marie-Louise von Franz wrote, “Only when the eternal girl dies can the woman be born.” I think my body got the memo before I did.

Victor Shi posts: “This was published one year ago. Everything is right.” The image shows a New York Times Sunday Opinion page with bold black text reading: “DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE WILL PROSECUTE HIS ENEMIES, ORDER MASS DEPORTATIONS, USE SOLDIERS AGAINST CITIZENS, ABANDON ALLIES, PLAY POLITICS WITH DISASTERS. BELIEVE HIM.”

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.

Is Justice Done? You’ve probably seen or read at least something about the story that is the subject of tonight’s post.

There are those moments where
You realize
All that you have done-
Those moments where you must
Oh you must
Learn to forgive yourself again.

The Female Picaresque: Jan Kerouac’s Baby Driver by Amanda Fortini October 24, 2025 – “Jan Kerouac’s darker and more extreme brand of mischief make her father’s On the Road high jinks seem tame and even a tad dilettantish by comparison.”

im sorry you cant have food but we gave all our money to one guy who “invented” 2 day shipping and another thats promising robot butlers so you can see how our hands are tied

In the places I may find you
I overt my eyes and say a prayer
Like an
Unwitting pallbearer of a car crash-
Our hearts smeared
Across the page and pavement,
Too gruesome to be survivable.

I see all the despair in the world-
I feel like I dont do enough.
I see my community rallying to aid-
I feel like I dont do enough.
I return to what I know,
To the small acts I do well-
And I hope, I hope
That it is enough.
