lol. lmao even.
In a 2012 interview with Charlie Rose, Silver said, "I'd say l'm somewhere in between being a libertarian and a liberal. So if I were to vote, it would be kind of a Gary Johnson versus Mitt Romney decision, I suppose." [176] In a 2023 newsletter, Silver said that he misspoke during that interview and meant to say that he would have chosen between Johnson and Barack Obama.

hi. i drafted a poem yesterday. it’s called “unreachability.”
unreachability i'm unsure if i've ever made a correct decision, choices pushed, tripped and tumbled into, scar-soaked, blood-scraped bludgeoned by the rocks i'm caught in, buried body becoming the hard place and i think i used to be better at containment i used to be a better container for insults swallowed, violence pulled down, loneliness submerged, unsafety dismissed designated sin-eater, repository for the unwanted no complaining or retelling never, ever, ever, unworthy of a mouth the best container then: disposable, unnoticeable, there, ready and bottomless i don't know though and i'm unsure when or if used to be used to be

the beginning of my first essay of the year, “broken systems: a myth of water-carrying,” coming out sometime in the next few weeks:
You can often find me yelling about language and its imprecision in communicating the many complexities of concepts and how we must try to be as precise with it as possible anyway. This comes from a belief that language, at least in part, influences how we think and how we take in information, and while I worry I'm being pedantic or overly prescriptivist, I can't really help it. I'm autistic, I deal in linguistic detail as a writer and an editor, I want to go back to school for (socio)linguistics someday-one day, I tell myself, sighing wistfully. I would look out a window wistfully too if I had any in this godforsaken apartment-and I just think language matters. This does not mean you'll ever catch me tone policing, and I will die before I become one of those niggas on Tiktok trying to correct people's pronunciation of words like "ask" in efforts to try and drum up validation from people I know are anti-Black as shit-those are different things entirely. Rather, when I'm yelling, I'm trying to get at a problem of conceptualization and conveyance. Anyway. I fucking hate the idea of "broken systems." At least in the political sense. In the way liberals use it. In the way it even finds itself spouted out in leftist circles. We (the collective we, not me) say the healthcare system is broken when we have to pay out of pocket for lifesaving procedures our insurance companies refuse to cover. We say the justice system is broken when (Disabled) Black kids are disproportionately targeted by their teachers and funneled into the school-to-prison pipeline. We say the education system is broken when we see illiteracy rates skyrocket among younger generations. We name these issues as systemic, and then we fall short of going into what that means. We stop at "broken systems." But that's wrong. That's a fundamentally bad framework.

• Agnifilo said the defense made no attempt to dispute allegations that Combs battered then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. "We own the domestic violence - I hope you guys know that," he said as he began his closing. • Despite acknowledging the physical abuse, Agnifilo described the relationship between Combs and Ventura as "a great modern love story."

they have a discord server where young pronatalists gather & meet. they have pronatalist meetups my (very vulnerable) friend attended (attends?). she told me about their “guiding philosophy for the world,” which:
screenshot from wikipedia: Religious beliefs The Collinses have stated they are atheists, but also promulgate a theology they call "Techno-Puritanism". They base Techno-Puritanism on the book The Martyrdom of Man by William Winwood Reade as well as the Bible; they consider both of these works divinely inspired scripture.

when democracy needs us all noble-sounding calls for keeping democracy in tact every four years, silicon coating your dollar bills, silicon transforming your hands, silicon down your throat some rideshare company notifies me: voters get 35% off on rides to the polls as i'm paving america with my blood and tears and taxes between infinity in underfunded bureaucracy and noncitizenship and terror loops through legality democracy is far-off places hungry men see as interchangeable battleground-graves, imperial land for the taking where only insects exist and half an island forced into never-ending orbit around western sun could sink into the ocean and it wouldn't make a difference

disabusing myself of the notion that i should not, under any circumstances, trust the dishwasher to do what my hands can, or save me water, or save me time, or spare me dysfunction-spirals or the exhaustion pooling around my joints, or use it as anything other than other storage habits die hard, they say, time-honored machine distrust passed down and in the process of killing, i discover i am not allergic to the sun, and a bus ride across the city to south philly won't kill me

hi! so my very first chapbook is out! it’s called pierce your nipples, save your soul, it’s 13 poems, & the beautiful cover is designed by my friend @ivythedivine111.bsky.social

check it out if you’d like! bit.ly/pierceyournipsbook
my chapbook “pierce your nipples, save your soul.” the cover is an illustrated brown torso with bare breasts and dark brown nipples out and also wearing a necklace with a circle pendant. the nipples are pierced with blue canes. the left piercing is diagonal and runs through the “p” in “pierce” and the right piercing is horizontal and runs through the “e” in “pierce.” the text is black and capitalized.
