Every year when the weather gets cold my mother goes to the graveyard of my grandparents and assembles flowers for the holidays at their headstone. She sits in the low winter sun and cries as she twists wire,silk, and foam until she has built them an effigy so all know the love she bears them.

Mostly it was do to the lack of ability to make change when exchanged for thoughts by our politicians.

I hate everything right now. If my phone does not work after this I'm going to go scream into the void until the void leaves because it's too much screaming.

Thinking about Blake this morning.
"To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

I came across this. It is fucking horrible, but it's one of the things I've really been worried about with "AI". CW: underage teen, bullying, and deep-fake nudity.

Not really, no! I mentioned it in a few places, but you can't have a "it was a quote/joke/hyperbole" exception to a violent rhetoric policy, because there are plenty of ways to make a post that violates the policy via paraphrasing a quote or claiming it was an obvious joke or hyperbole.

Do not try and lift yourself up by your bootstraps, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth... that you can lift others by theirs and in doing so lift yourself.

People think Hell is where you go to be tormented. The real hell is where you watch those you love tormented while you can do nothing to help them.
