Among the ruins and the roots
I taste only the blood
we've spilled to fill them
while the birdsong drowns
in the gaslit noise of promises
we need not believe any sense
but what the speaker licenses

Ides of March rolls by again. Come on America, where's your holiday spirit?

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

all modern society is built around preventing anyone from ever feeling uncomfortable for even one second, and unfortunately that small moment of crisis is the place where all innovation happens

But hey, it can't be all bad all the time. You need to distract yourself.

Like wherein my COOL ASS FRIENDS did their best Horizon impression and went into the Frozen Wilds for a bit this weekend. It's lovely when the crafters and the blacksmiths unite their powers for geekery.

Everyone around these people has such a thing for "camps," in so many iterations. Certainly doesn't have a particular taste to it, no sir.

No one person is all powerful.

One is only powerful with the cooperation of others.

Lots and lots of people are complicit.

People still out there fighting the good fight.
You can try to erase history, but the truth is what the truth is.
And the truth is: Trans folk fought tooth and nail at Stonewall, as they fight now.

That moment in history never belonged to the government, and they can't erase it now.

Sing me a song of defiance.
Paint my body with your rage.
Close not your eyes to the hurt.
These fools bark like feral gods.
Yet on their lips is nothing divine.
Hold each other's shaking hands.
Bare these bloodied hearts.
Let it in, let it out: outlast.

This guy, America? The anti-vaccine, anti-mental health, bear-dumping, worm-toting man with the morals of a wet rag? Just keep setting that bar as low as possible.

As if the Trump/Musk cocktail wasn't already bad. Economy & diplomacy's toilet-bound; this guy'll probably lick one & call it medicine.

Oh this is so delicious.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Between each heartbeat, you never know what may come with certainty. Tell your people you love them.

The world reels on so many fronts, but personal horror has come home to roost again. I'm so sorry you didn't get to see more of the world, Haley, & that we'll never know what you could've made of it

Always good to have a place to land and gather, at the end or beginning of a world. We've built and lost and watched so many morph and be consumed across this life, and so many gone before.

May this one last as long as we need it.
But may we endure beyond, whatever comes.
