It annoys me when nominal support for LGBT rights is used instrumentally to push for clout or unrelated goals. But I *really* hate it when it’s treated as basically a cringe bourgeois affectation, whether it be the right, left, or center that’s pulling out that old canard.

I’m only going to say this once, so hear me when I say that I do not care *who* is on the #Epstein list. I do care that each sexual predator is held to account and punished accordingly.

Release the full files and make folks accountable. Period. 👊🏽💙

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The energy of the night was nearly used up when Sasha found the body stuffed among the winter coats. He didn't recognize her face, but the gas station attendant vest told him the story.

The party would be over soon. Then, Sasha would need to have another long talk with his wife.

The broken saucer's jagged edge smiled up at the man. A clock ticked twelve times as he squatted down and secured the fragment against his soft palm.

"If she wants my blood," he thought, "then let her come get it."

He squeezed a tight fist and watched the crimson river emerge.

I come back again
to an empty apartment,

#articles of love
strewn about
like Christmas ornaments

dangling from the precipice
of an evergreen
promise.

This is not a goodbye
but a see you later.

For now,
I grab the broom
and sweep up
what remains.

When it wants to, love #eludes us
Like a shaky face shimmering
Across old photographs

The family points, asks
Who was that?

And the memory of the person
Becomes only the memory
Of the dress they wore

When presented with a life
So condensed,
Its no wonder
The picture came out blurry.

Sometimes it is always out of reach.

On 2 September 2025, the #vss365 prompt word is: Elude.

“It is those that we live with and love and should know who #elude us.” (Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It)

A quiet seat,
a simple book,
a clutch of
silent leaves

But the pot must
scream and #seethe
before I serve
a cup of peace.

Mourning doves soar
like B12s overhead,

Silent half-bionic silhouettes
against an ever-aging sky.

Midnight approaches

Yesterday's youth
scream their anthems

Tender hands reach for
incandescent light

Cross examine the
architecture & find
love

Love

Mine.
Yours.
Sewn
Together.
Intwined,
Coiled,
Attracted…

Lost.
