If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.

This is EXACTLY why police cannot be a part of the labor movement. They have their own union and it used AGAINST the public. It used to HARM the public. To STEAL from taxpayers to cover their own asses. They are an arm of the government. They cannot stand with the people
This post from @alexnpress.bsky.social is just too on the nose of how law enforcement is used and implemented to protect the capital of the obscenely rich.

It was a dream.
I can't say enough about last Friday: @wjlofton1.bsky.social, Bettina Judd, Opal Moore, and Maya Marshall were brilliant. I still can't believe this is my poetry community.
