my being lost in thought

a product
of being in love with you
and time
breaks away
from the fetters of money
for there is no cost
only gain
a richness
when I am with you
I feel no need
to market myself
for you already know
and you just accept me
take me
and love me

Need advice...my boss keep complaining I leave to early or I'm logging to many hours(I'm not). I don't have set hours like 9 to 5. As long as I do my desk shift I thought i could leave early if I had to. My anxiety is getting worse regardless of my meds. Should I quit or stay?

Your occasional reminder, if you needed one, that RFK Jr can fuck himself gently with a cetacean-laden chainsaw
RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.
Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Thanks to federal programs like E-Rate, communities have built life-changing broadband networks—with libraries at the center. But that future is now under threat.
Join us in the fight to protect E-Rate and federal library funding—because no one should be left offline.
