Taking It Into Your Own Damn Hands
Reaching out after a long hiatus, being the master of my own fate, expensive yoga outfits, spray bottles etc.

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

"As a Texan, I have watched Republicans shut down most of the abortion clinics in the state in a mere three years by playing quick and dirty and smart. Meanwhile, the Democrats have mostly watched, and insisted upon norms. Those norms have not reopened those clinics."

At this point I think the Democrats have a masochism/humiliation kink going on. So much bad political strategy! All the time! About matters small and great! They keep thinking if they play by the rules they will persevere whilst Republicans dgaf about rules and do what they want.

It’s hard to put into words the impact that David Lynch’s work has had on my life, my writing, and my capacity for imagination. A true light in the world of weird and true art. 💔

I’m Cleo, & I’m a poet! I’ve been writing since I could hold a pen, but poetry became my home late in high school, when I became involved in spoken word. I went on to study poetry in college and I’ve been writing and publishing poetry since. Writing on sense of place, longing, belonging. #P2Ppit
