Keep in mind that the top #GOP and their #gopcronys are the kind of ppl that believe that giving ppl food and starving them to death are the same bc both result with no more complaining. Current executive branch is the same or worse.

Morning rigors
Stiff and fated
Bring loosening
Of both body and mind

Stretch, walk, yawn
Blood remembers
To carry life
Ghosts of dreams fade

Look up to
The coming day
And fuel the furnace
For what is to come

The movie Brazil comes to mind
“.. If you add more and more product to your face and are surrounded by people who do the same, ‘you lose sight of anatomic normalcy.’”

I'm slow this morning
Feeling age and weather
The choices of a too small
Repast from the evening before
And it correlates to
My soulful aches and tumult
As i live in the current time
Of upheaval and uncertainty
I know this feeling
I'll be good by lunch
Though the world
Needs more

Late morning and all i want to do is go write, relax, goof around, and not exist in a pseudo-dystopian capitalist hellscape of misinformation and anti-fact truism where compassion is suspect but cruelty is reliable.

Imma have some burritos.

The cold days are rearing
Up to say hello
And the chill in the air
Shifts to and fro

We huddle close together
And pull the covers tight
While whispering our orisons
To keep us through the night

Winter yawns and stretches
Covering the land
Naked trees and fields
Tundra without sand

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

As far as I'm concerned, mike johnson has done enough to gain the title, "Enemy of all Children"
And he'll never live that down.

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Evil, from what i can tell, is the indifference to, causation of, or profiting from suffering.
Denial that suffering exists to pursue personal gain is too.
Framing poverty as 'Individualistic self determinism' is an excuse to cause suffering and starve children. Specially when they control wages.

There is a secret
That i keep
Hidden under cloth
The secret is quite
Unnerving
Just beneath my skin
It tickles some
And worries others
But i won't seem concerned
Beneath my muscle
Nerve and tendon
I hide toothy silly grin

Raven friend
Of shadows edge
Dim the twilight
Of the day
Rest your feathers
Stretch your claws
I'll fly with you
At dawn of night
And let us cast
A comfort cover
Warmth of darkness
Save lost souls
Scare off masked
And cowardly hunters
On our wing dancing
With piercing eye
