Uniforms change.
Loyalties too,
Rules of engagement do not.

No, sir.

You don’t shoot
an unarmed person

You learned
to serve & protect
Don’t #stoop
for a few dollars more

Killing an unarmed
who didn’t draw first
is never justified
Not in battle
Not in streets
Never

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.

End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

a moth to the flame
drawn back each day
with trepidation and fear
with anticipation and #delight
to the radiance of your poetic soul
to the timbre of tenderness
in your carefully curated verse
to the depth and breadth
of your rarity and humanity
to understanding the fragility

NEW YEARS DAY

I heard a bird sing clear
This year the summer will come true. This year. This year.

This year, this year, as all these flowers foretell,
We shall escape the circle and undo the spell.

I move out
of the realm
in which
your actions
are forgivable,

back
on
solid ground.

My pulse
𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴
at the thought
of you.

The heavens
have heard
my answer,
and now 𝘺𝘰𝘶
will hear
my warning.

I am not bound
by moral chains
against myself.

𝘐. 𝘈𝘮. 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦.

I went to say ily today
But instead I sent a meme
Bc knowing I can make you laugh
almost feels like the same thing.

Here we have the need for comfort & solace when faith loosens but longing endures, prayer not confined to religion but a human experience

‘a woman will lift her head from the sieve of her hands’

A quiet incantation, perfectly captured in the final couplet

Wrote this right before I finally decided to leave a longterm DV marriage. Haven't named it yet, but I like "Reflection," currently.

A quiet face,
a loud cage behind the eyes—
freedom waits where

There is immense power in supporting people living with dementia to use their abilities rather than reminding them of their losses. This is a beautiful example of an approach based on strengths, interests, and kindness.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Call me old fashioned, but if I was seated next to someone I absolutely despised at a mandatory function I would act like he simply did not exist

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']:

Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

I begged the universe for a mom for all my life, and I think it just gave me one. If it was socially acceptable I would be weeping 24/7 with joy.

But that's weird so imma find another socially acceptable way to show my gratitude.

cant sleep, stewing, thinking about how easy it is for men to be taken seriously as intellectuals, and how much ground you have to claw and claw to be taken with a quarter of the gravity, as a woman

This is purely a rant/stream of consciousness alt account. I just needed somewhere to scream into the void and not wonder who is going to find it.
