Goddess crow of victory
Kaws on the fight,
Knowing she cheers both sides
Waiting to peck out the sightless eyes

"It's a silly thing, but in the hands of people who know how to instill a serious, beating heart inside of a silly thing, so that it’s not just a lark for us to forget as soon as we walk out of the theater, but a whole emotional center that can stick with us and keep making us smile."
Mythic Pixie Drone Quarrel — “Predator: Badlands”
“Predator: Badlands” is very good. It’s fun, it’s crowd-pleasing. It does what it says on the tin. It’s two giant, 45-minute roving action set pieces that orbit around 10 minutes …

"Gather Ye Rosebuds"

Unspent rosebuds,
Wasted small change of the fall,
Bladed soon by secateurs -
or scimitars or bayonets or bombs

"If her novel is grief caught in amber, his film is a lens through which we can see how desperately it tried to reach out, to breathe, to last another moment, both grief and griever alike; to become something else, to transmute meaning from suffering, to justify endurance."
Empathy First, the Rest Nowhere — “Frankenstein”
The characters in Guillermo Del Toro’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” only ever encounter empathy briefly. It never lasts. Life, for them, is an endurance, and yet through …

Even of gentle waves
Whipped cream waves-
Hypnotizing.
Lulling.
All the time rocking
The coffin-cradle of lost ships.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it.

F the patriarchy.

We will remember them

Not just today, but in every quiet moment.
In stories passed down, in poppies worn with pride
In the silence that speaks louder than words

Their courage shaped our peace.
Their sacrifice lives on

The normally green Dawn Redwood changes colors and loses its needles seasonally. This color must be how it got its name.
