My body is a canvas for protest. My existence is political.
How do I explain agitation like the fizz of a live wire? A spark at the base of my skull tremors in my veins like the movements of maggots crawling a corpse. I've got something inside me I dont understand,

Everything is a social construct. I want to live like a sunflower--following the sunshine around the sky and giving shelter to tired bees in the twilight.

The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way.
Everything else is a galaxy.
Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

As the sun reaches zenith, grass gets a #promotion and the trees who have spent winter asking for a raise finally unroll their leaves and get to work. My world is greening in the way it should, nothing but the flowers need answer my call.

As far as verbs go, #place weakens a sentence with delicate hesitance. Place your hand in mine, no, grasp it. Thread your fingers into the lace of my own, make a mess of our palms. Braid your hands into dirt. There is no being delicate in the dark, no location to which you can escape.

The roots of ancient oaks twist the earth like the #indivisibility of veins in your palm. I feel your heartbeat in the bark. A scar is just a sign of aging, a growing braid of skin and soul and cambium and heartwood that no one can unwrench.

While the fire burns you are paralyzed, the flames lick the shag carpet of nostalgia and the clawed feet of the gilded age sofa. Why do we want to go back there? Aren't we all #guilty of rose-coloring some kind of the past? You give into the fire because it is all that is left to do.

“Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the Earth without making it unfit for all life?”

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has announced plans to repeal or weaken 31 crucial standards that protect public health and address the climate crisis.
These actions send a clear signal: Polluters get a free ride and the rest of us will pay for it.

EPA announces dozens of environmental regulations it plans to target
The Environmental Protection Agency didn't provide details about what it wants to do with the regulations — whether it will try to weaken them or eliminate them entirely.

An achingly familiar question
That reporter really looked at the president of a country being battered by an invading force and asked “but what was he wearing”

An achingly familiar question
Welcome to the #emporium of bait and switch, televised tyranny in oversized navy suits. I hope you enjoy your stay because we've locked the doors behind you and fire exits no longer exist. Whatever you think we've done wrong, keep it to yourself. Choke on it. Medical staff won't intervene.
