These people are, not to put too fine a point on it, nuts.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

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

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

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

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.

We are in that part of autumn where the wish to hurry home before dark becomes more pronounced and yet we can't fully articulate just why this is so. The redundant lamplighter phantoms come earlier and earlier. As does our unease in certain places. This season pokes with fingers of fear. – #DAKilroy

The raindrops #accumulate
into a puddle, a pond, a lake.
Now we are underwater,
playacting that we have gills and
dreading the day when we will
have to reckon with
what the water leaves behind

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?
JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.
S: Those are quotes

The good news is that we have high-tech alien medbeds that can cure all illness and injury
The bad news is that they assume the user is a hyper-intelligent car-sized mollusk and they’ll rearrange your body to live in the atmospheric ocean of a distant gas giant

These days I am fascinated by wave formation;
the blue-gray sea roiling up in frantic arches
only to come booming down, Sisyphus unable
to escape, dredging a few #nasty bits from the
deep: glops of seaweed; a rack of stark, unforgiving
bone; an empty home, picked clean
