A poem by Mary Oliver, first published in her 1986 collection Dream Work 

Wild Geese
By Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

i’d like to hope that the world goes on

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

Decals on a wall at Oregon Contemporary read:

Only in silence the word,
only in dark the light,
only in dying life:
bright the hawk's flight
on the empty sky.
THE CREATION OF Γ‰A

I can't believe that just in my lifetime we went from the conscious Black Pride hip hop of the 90's to the "Harriet Tubman wasn't real" Tik Toks of today.

Some groceries on my counter, showing a container of goldfish, a quart of milk, 1lb of cheese, a box of crackers, two jars of pickles, lunch meat, 1lb chicken, and two dozen eggs

I really don’t want to do another round of inflation discourse, particularly as a practicing economist, but like, this was $54. And, like, i’m not exactly splurging here. Store brand cheese and pickles? Crackers? Lunch meat? A pound of chicken?

Kudos to the @montevallo.bsky.social student body demanding that fascists not be platformed! There is a big difference between freedom of speech & tolerating the intolerable.

Also, I really don't understand why, if you hold a trash ideology like TPUSA, you would *want* to go to a school like UM.

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a β€œthe city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

If only we had entire libraries full of science fiction short stories, novellas, novels, comics, movies, episodes, stage plays, interactive games, webisodes, and also our own fucking imaginations and logical reasoning and emotional intelligence warning us against exactly this sort of thing.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM IN THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES

Specifically, my essay "Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting" is referenced in a 2013 Rachel Sklar article about Muriel Siebert. Why is it in the Epstein files at all? You got me.

What a wild fucking discovery. I am literally agog.

Pretty sure it's lay out the bread, spread the peanut butter, scrape the knife, spread the jelly, enjoy the sandwich knowing that you've only used one tool for one dish.

If the sandwich required the "school lunch triangle" or the "picky eater crust removal" would you then get a third knife?
