Plant based Tofurkey pepperoni is my new favorite thing. It’s soy free, gluten free, and pretty good with tomatoes, mustard, and mayo in a sandwich. #glutenfree #vegan #vegetarian #Foodsky

POEM 298: "The Last Great American Beauty Queen" by Violette Smith

When you feel desperate and hopeless try to write a poem. It doesn’t have to be good, because you’ll try it again until one line is alive enough to keep you alive.

Reading about how unusable Venezuelan oil is—it’s heavy crude, and hard to refine—it looks like kidnapping Maduro was just an Epstein distraction. Either that, or the Project 2025 writers were too uneducated to know better.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?
Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.

Starting a war with Venezuela is in Project 2025.
Hopefully it goes as well as the rest of Project 2025. Which is mostly backfiring spectacularly.

Being a reader means cultivating a relationship with the world that, by most standards, can seem pointless and counterproductive.

I wear 15 spf sunscreen, do a little bit of Pilates matwork (with original Graatz Heavy magic circles), and eat gluten free and Pescatarian. The most radical thing I’ve done in the last ten years was giving up rice and sugar. My bloodwork is really good. Torturing yourself is not worth it.
