One day #blue,
tired of being stuck in the background,
packed her bags and left.
Now the sky is cloudy gray,
empty,
& so lonely

Of course Trump’s name should be redacted from all of the Epstein Files. After all, he is the victim.

Thank you!

A black background with an orange border. At the top is text: “introverted__hiker: MAGA in 2016: ‘But her emails!!’ MAGA now: ‘Emails don’t prove anything.’” Below the text is an image of Hillary Clinton, wearing an orange outfit and holding her arms out in a shrugging gesture.

But his emails.

This poem,
like #reality,

is made
of little ruptures.

Read them
how you will

Not me currently on my 3rd time reheating the same cup of coffee

The wind is knocking at my door,
reminding me not to dwell in places that are too small.
A #banshee needs space to breathe

Love the final line—very evocative!

Rooks shout the dying day. Spirits wake. Twilight as threshold engine for my magics. Twilight as a time of summoning. My tongue spills secret names. My tongue seduces the world to see things my way. I am a witch. Change is the wake of my walking. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

Fact-check: true 😕

We all agree that Dubai chocolate thing was engineered to distract from their crimes right

That night we looked at the stars &
called it an #experiment in knowing
how small
how far
how empty & yet
how full

How to Apply “No-Makeup” Makeup: A Guide for Mature Women 1. Gather lots of makeup. However much makeup you think it will take to achieve the no-makeup look, it will take far more makeup than that. Go to a...

"Fill in your eyebrows using some product with a stupid name. Pray to any god you still worship that the bushy-brow trend ends soon. In the meantime, try to stop critiquing the young women with caterpillars on top of their eyes."

These people are, not to put too fine a point on it, nuts.

where the sunset
hangs her brilliance
with a #flourish
on gathering clouds

I feel slightly guilty for liking this post... very well written!

Children map by wonders. They know each tree a Wood Sprite lives in, know every chimney that's home to a Soot Sprite. Field to forest, hight street to industrial estate, they hold an inner chart of strangeness. To remember those maps is to be re-enchanted. – Joanna Vickers, 1982 #VOH

Thank you!

Every day the muscles in my legs tell me
they are #inadequate, they are not up to the task.
Every day I tell them they will learn, they will
grow, they will remember how it feels
to fly

Flagging that both Mike Johnson and Tom Emmer have now referred to the No Kings protest scheduled for 10/18 as a "hate America rally." Both singled out the one planned for DC - Johnson said it'll feature "pro-Hamas" people and "antifa," and Emmer said it'll appease the "terrorist wing" of the party

Trace a path along the tilt of the earth
find your #verve chasing magnetic north
share how it feels to be an albatross
following those invisible lines through fog
never losing your way

Okay I was enjoying this until that terrifying picture 😂

Ha! I love this headline in TIME.

“Nature is no longer the rustic retreat of the Wordsworthian poet. … [it] is now a pressing political question, a question of survival.”

I hate that! And then you remember at the most inopportune moment with no possible way of writing it down

Heater, an orange cat with BIG eyes, nestles herself in a sea of grey blankies.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

Every morning a new spiderweb,
gossamer, woven;
my arms ache from clearing them.
The spiders cackle in their corner
when I ask for a #respite.
They know how to build a web.

Q: Are you planning to invoke the Insurrection Act?

TRUMP: Well, it's been invoked before. If you look at Chicago -- Chicago is a great city where's a lot of crime and if the governor can't do the job, we'll do that job.
