So, if you scroll down my feed, you'll see a post by @zackpolanski.bsky.social which cites an article from Spiked, the byline of which I now feel utterly compelled to respond to as a #poem.

Sometimes, it is time to park the bus. #poetry (Proud to be a @greenparty.org.uk member :D)
‘The Angry Bourgeoisie is in Revolt against Populism’ (Byline from a Spiked Article on Green Leader Zack Polanski, 19.11.25) Okay / let’s park the bus here / you and me are going to take / a moment to unwind / this latest attack on a man who remains / one of the few people in politics / right now for whom / being kind / matters more than scoring points. It is the job of the Bourgeoisie / (that’s the middle class for you and me) / to stand between the rich and poor / traditionally mirroring a truth / that above them are the upper class / that everybody hates and very few aspire to be / hoarding all the money for themselves / and below them are the people who always need most help / it is the point therefore that to be angry / at injustice / poverty and war / is what the human race really should be for / except increasingly there are a few / who see themselves superior to all. Populism amazingly / is not a made-up word / instead it would appear to be / ideology that paints our society as divided / into a binary / good and bad / where outcomes can only be defined as black or white / when actually it turns out that’s a construct too / the ‘us’ they claim now resents ‘you’ / celebrates diversity in multicoloured hues / knows the future is and always was / a Global majority’s concern / as on a daily basis / it is apparent / Colonialism still has a lot to learn. Each journalist who chooses to expound / that they and they along are Right / could be making better use of time / that for every other human’s running out / they choose to ignore the rising temperatures / the Niger Delta / Human Rights being stripped / one group at a time / public land sold to Private Order / billions of lives in sharp decline / and as the Super Rich / concrete-line another bunker / we all can / we MUST do so much better / be kinder / than this.

Oh, you sweet Summer Child. That would be everything YOU consider as a company, and all your tech friends, and nothing that in reality we could not live without, because anyone with a braincell is not adopting your ridiculous idea of progress.

Done the #Poetry Warmup this morning as the #PromptCombo #WorkingLove for @hool415.bsky.social. This might work for a weekly thing…
Working Love by S. Reeson I am my own relationship with truth I will and must keep the flame alive because until I learn to love myself a work in progress remains a lie simply the smouldering remains of pain I built to fit this form because until I can become a host constant reassessment of my care I cannot love this lifestyle forward will never transform awful into fair until the day I finally wake up joyous as my own calm appears

Feels like a fresh start, mates 👍
In lieu of something appropriate to hang off my car mirror, I fell in love with 3 felt marshmallow Christmas decorations when out shopping. Each has a happy face and rosy cheeks ...

So yeah, assuming I have a voice this time tomorrow, I'm reading poetry at the local Fire Station.

Some people are bringing 10 mates for this.

I think I'll be happy if just one comes and hugs me :D

So, #thisis59 and today I have been at one of the many military installations on the Thames Estuary, built for war but never used.

I have been suitably inspired.
A portion of a disused military facility in my county. A large portion of wall is only being held up by ivy and grace.

Can someone tell me how I can get to talk to an actual human being at @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com in the UK with a game related issue? I've sent three tickets today and ALL of them have sent me the exact same response. None of them solve a highly specific issue. This is #1.
The first of 3 emails to EU Customer Support, which are all EXACTLY the same, none of which in fact solve an issue, but are a copy paste of a 2020 forum post where a similar (and unrelated) issue is referenced...

Tell me you're using AI without telling me you're using AI, #28451:
The three Trending topics on Substack, all about different subject matters (Jane Goodall, Pam Bondi, NVIDIA) all of which 'spark' a reaction. This is not poetry, fellas, repetition is bad in conversational English. It makes the human who wrote this look like a tool... except, this wasn't written by a human, was it?

Also, this is what Substack wants me to subscribe to. Two investors, two influencers and a menopause doctor.

I have 3 Trending Topics. US Politics, Fashion, and 'Taiwan Chop Parity Talks'

I feel that maybe this is a splinter universe where all that matters is what one guy in a Basement in New Jersey is obsessing about between rounds of Counterstrike...

These are the five publications I'm being told to consider giving money to. #1 (Good Climate News) actually has some relevance to my stated interests. Then (and I can only assume AI has decided the other 4 are 'my bag') we have a guy who bought Tesla shares at #2 with a cheeky logo...

Thank you to @louiestowell.bsky.social who has made a decision for me. This will be the next poem I cover in the Publication Diary series on Substack because...

It is suddenly remarkably apposite.
Three Dimensions by S Reeson X There is no evidence anywhere that Albert Einstein ever said the definition of insanity is ‘is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results’ except there he is, all over the Internet, being attributed with having done exactly that. I have, on more than one occasion, wondered what Albert would have thought of this world, always on and constantly in opposition with itself. I wonder how long it would have been before someone called his theories out. Y As a child, I was fascinated with a Time Life book that my parents bought thinking it would help better educate them and, by definition, their kids. It explained motion and dynamics using a man on a moving train, and talked about how time, if we travelled fast enough, stopped being a constant relative to where you were located. Only recently did I begin to embrace that certain key concepts in my existence are constructs meant to maintain order and prevent chaos. Z Time is a concept, and so is gender. Both these things have become obsessions during a period of my life where one is running to an inevitable conclusion and the other has never fully been explored. When time is slow I am stuck as a woman, held back by men, and constricted by traditional sexuality. When it is fast all that matters is whether I’ll hold my nerve or fall off the world. When everything is fluid, so much becomes possible. I exist in three places at once.
