not me falling even more in love with @maginmanolete.bsky.social while the world we knew crumbles. 7 years.
as @nikitagill.bsky.social notes, it takes a poet to remind us we can still fall in love and learn from the flowers.
Magín stands on the edge of the Stanley Park seawall, holding a copy of Jean Batman’s book “The Secret of Stanley Park.” The Salish Sea is in the background, as is the North Shore of so-called Vancouver. A post from Nikita Gill: “The news: everything is bad. Poets: “okay, but what if everything is bad and we still fall in love with the moon and learn something from the flowers.”

not me ugly-crying in the lady di biopic

[also not crying for the crown]
💂🏻‍♂️
crying because which desi hasn’t witnessed a loveless, unfulfilling marriage to a sodden tampon leave an incredible woman drained of beauty, smarts & spunk?
❤️
[also not crying as hard as a certain maasi on Aug 31, 1997]
