Cats... bears... and me.

Fascinated and appalled by politics: Pro-EU, anti-Fascist, anti-Trump. 🏳️‍🌈

Music, art, movies, books, and I try and post a poem a day...

Night night sweet dreamies

You’re never going to make everyone happy and that’s okay.
Your needs and your happiness matter, and they deserve to come first.
Do what’s right for you, without carrying the weight of what others might think or say

Starlings in Winter by Mary Oliver
Chunky and noisy, but with stars in their black feathers, they spring from the telephone wire and instantly they are acrobats in the freezing wind. And now, in the theater of air, they swing over buildings, dipping and rising; they float like one stippled star that opens, becomes for a moment fragmented, then closes again; and you watch and you try but you simply can't imagine how they do it with no articulated instruction, no pause, only the silent confirmation that they are this notable thing, this wheel of many parts, that can rise and spin over and over again, full of gorgeous life. Ah, world, what lessons you prepare for us, even in the leafless winter, even in the ashy city. I am thinking now of grief, and of getting past it; I feel my boots trying to leave the ground, I feel my heart pumping hard. I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.

When someone uses the word, "illegals" I am done listening to what they have to say. I live in America, a nation stolen from the indigenous natives, built on the backs of slaves, & made prosperous by the sweat, & blood of immigrants. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." My country is not white. It's not Christian. It's American. It's made up of people from around the globe. Humans aren't illegal. But your dehumanization, & demonization should be.

🧵 I was a Zionist a few years ago - Here’s the full story

When I was young I proudly raised the Israeli flag, so I want to talk a little bit about what happened since then

I grew up learning that Israel is "surrounded by enemies" so it’s a miracle we got to survive that we must serve in (1/8)

“--it's not gasps and blood and falling about---that isn't what makes it death. It's just a man failing to reappear, that's all ---now you see him, now you don't, that the only thing that's real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back...”

You’ve made it through today, and that’s enough.
Rest your mind, soften your shoulders, and let tomorrow arrive gently when it’s ready.

#ForgiveYourself
Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time. Forgive yourself for giving away your power. Forgive yourself for past behaviors. Forgive yourself for the survival patterns and traits you picked up while enduring trauma. Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be. - Audrey Kitching

Don't dismiss the elements. Water soothes and heals. Air refreshes and revives. Earth grounds and holds. Fire is a burning reminder of our own will and creative power. Breathe them in. Swallow their spells. There's a certain sweet comfort in knowing that you belong to them all. - Victoria Erickson

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster. —Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Velocity of Money by Allen Ginsberg
I’m delighted by the velocity of money as it whistles through the windows of Lower East Side Delighted by skyscrapers rising the old grungy apartments falling on 84th Street Delighted by inflation that drives me out on the street After all what good’s the family farm, why eat turkey by thousands every Thanksgiving? Why not have Star Wars? Why have the same old America?!? George Washington wasn’t good enough! Tom Paine pain in the neck, Whitman what a jerk! I’m delighted by double digit interest rates in the Capitalist world I always was a communist, now we’ll win an usury makes the walls thinner, books thicker & dumber Usury makes my poetry more valuable my manuscripts worth their weight in useless gold - Now everybody’s atheist like me, nothing’s sacred buy and sell your grandmother, eat up old age homes, Peddle babies on the street, pretty boys for sale on Times Square - You can shoot heroin, I can sniff cocaine, macho men can fite on the Nicaraguan border and get paid with paper! The velocity’s what counts as the National Debt gets higher Everybody running after the rising dollar Crowds of joggers down broadway past City Hall on the way to the Fed Nobody reads Dostoyevsky books so they’ll have to give a passing ear to my fragmented ravings in between President’s speeches Nothing’s happening but the collapse of the Economy so I can go back to sleep till the landlord wins his eviction suit in court.

Dancing Girl https://www.artic.edu/artworks/10018/
Directly affected by the Nazis’ ascent to power, Paul Klee was dismissed in 1933 from his teaching post at Dusseldorf Academy, where he had spent two years after leaving the Bauhaus. Exiled to Switzerland, Klee suffered physically and psychologically, and his artistic output diminished significantly. Between 1937 and 1940, however, Klee regained artistic momentum and produced several hundred paintings and over 1,500 drawings. In these later works, Klee continued to experiment with unusual media and techniques to produce multidimensional effects. Dancing Girl also reveals Klee’s limitless humor—his signature at the lower right was made by a monogrammed handkerchief, which he laid over the surface to begin his painting. Gift of George B. Young
