Pinned
when life at its least was barely enough
misery denied that I didn't give up
So for those unable to see the imminent catastrophe
Fanatical glory lost in the smoke screen
Blinded by lies that soothe their ego
Oblivious of the pain they’re reaping
Ready to let it all burn for their infantile king

Aching, teasing pain
Straining against conforming layers
Haunted by glistening lips
that wouldn't stop
Eyes that couldn't look away
From the naked feast
Decadent nutritional debauchery
Savoring the flavors with abandon
That I regret with every bite

October is Substance Use Prevention Month & stories of addiction and recovery remind us that healing is not linear, and that there is no single “right” path to recovery. Representation gives language, visibility, and hope to those who may feel alone in their journey. Here are some recs! #booksky

Hold back nothing, Kimmel. #Nextstar wants capitulation for their deals, and pretends it's about "values". Orange idiot can cry all he wants to, and #Sinclair can go suck his tiny mushroom.

You ripped our dreams out of the sky
plunged it into our heart
A weapon made of our own design
We screamed until we could not breathe
smothered by ashen sorrow
Because hate cannot accept why it is not free
Why it cannot laugh at itself or wear what it pleases

do not shine in order to block out the light from other stars,
But to prove they existed long after they are gone.

Trump’s Triple-down Tax Scam
With triple the cuts going to the rich,
A $4.5 trillion tax cut is crazy, bitch!
And steal our benefits to pay for it?
Trickle-down didn’t. Fuck that shit.

A New Level of Incompetence
Using Signal is wildly irresponsible,
Making high security totally impossible.
Trump’s team did the unfathomable,
“Highest level of fuckup imaginable.”

I'm running out of ways to colorfully exclaim how stupid Dump's cabinet is, but this sums it up:
It turns out a cabinet full of camera-ready dilettantes operates pretty much exactly how you'd expect
