In the library,
Sat behind the reference desk.
Ask me for a book
Or reserve a study room,
On this warm fall equinox.

Alc % (haiku)

Drunk beyond measure
Swimming in oceans of joy.
Escaping the day

Forgetting to eat
Leaves me weighed with lethargy.
Loose conversations
Slipping past creaking fingers.
Too tired to keep carrying

“Life can be strange sometimes, and knowing it can be doesn't seem to make it any less so. I know I don't have any real wisdom. I don't have any wonderful ideas. I am lucky to have found a few nice people here and there.”

- Ottessa Moshfegh, “Homesick for Another World”

Earlier: Behind the curtain of the filters imposed by outsiders, the Valley boasts an abundance of creative, powerful, and joyful communities, one of them being the LGBTQ+ community.
The Rio Grande Valley as Heart of LGBTQ+ Resistance and Joy
As we celebrate Pride Month, I am struck by the contrast of what I know to be true about this region and what the popular narratives may be.

Something cradled close,
So close to his heart, for what?
Speak before I go

They don’t care where you land, if you survive, or if you speak the language. The only goal is to get rid of you and make sure you can’t come back. This is human trafficking.

Eruptions

Seared under gods eye
Hatred erupting in tongues.
Thunderous dark laughs
“Have patience” they say again
Breathe deep, don’t fall on the sword

If you do your best
You won’t have any regrets.
Show up for yourself

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH

He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested

Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

Miserably in summer.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend.

His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.”

He might never walk again. For showing up.

This is brutality. This is America.
