two trees, down the road from where i'm staying, are on opposite sides of a street. as the cold ebbed and a rain storm came, they each lost a branch that was reaching out toward the other.

the branches met on the road between them. when i saw a lad moving them off the road, they were entwined.

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my week— it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted “I am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.

And speaking of Juan Gelman, there is always, always this quote:

"All men are human and what finds room in me should find it in others. ... Let's find room in one another, humans."

I've been thinking a lot lately about this piece that came out this spring. The imperatives of large scale corporate capitalism have squelched much of what once was (and still could be) culturally and politically democratizing about internet technology.
