I keep returning to this shattering @samforbreakfast.bsky.social piece again and again. sent to all my loves who are in the headspace, saved for the ones who aren’t in a place where they can engage with it now but may be someday. CW of course, and goddamn: electricliterature.com/i-want-to-st...

"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.” Herman Hesse

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

No one is coming to save us but us.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Today’s poem is selected by Sam Herschel Wein (@samforbreakfast.bsky.social) as part of the 20th anniversary of Read A Little Poetry. “Kiss of the Sun” appeared in Indeed I Was Pleased With the World by Mary Ruefle, Carnegie Mellon University Press, 2007. Shared here with deep gratitude.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work.

Chicago!! Tonight!!!

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

queerness, as a liberatory politics and not just another vague personal label, must involve thinking, speaking, and acting against ICE, against the police, against the carceral + imperial state and its networks across the globe, against the violence of borders. happy pride!

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."
