The mangrove arches it's back, quiet authority fed by a shifting tidal river. It's knees rise from decomposing land, giving shelter to the snakes that swim underneath. #Poetry #PoetrySky #OddPoems

Literacy means more than 'can you read,' it is all about 'do I understand what I read.' Soon there will be another class gulf, those who can interpret, put two ideas together and synthesize a new idea, and those who who can't and have AI do their thinking. We are all in danger from the later

News update: I finally saw an actual cardiologist after 18 months with no meds. I am reestablished on new meds, finally. My physical and cognitive issues are improving. We walked, and I may even make something today. I haven't done anything creative in the last 18 months. Photos by my husband.

Here’s my assessment of Weather and its implications for today: being opposed to bad things is not enough. Weather took the biggest and most consequential student antiwar movement of the 60s and dissolved it in favor of armed conflict carried out by a vanguard. This strategy was doomed.

Y'all need to go back and read Ben Franklin's 'Observations on the Right of Free Discourse During Any Tune Less Than Divine' and 'An Apology for the Chattering Class Attending Publick Entertainments'

I'm on the third day of a three day restart / kickstart of the cardiac meds that were stopped a year ago. I'm actually feeling better, but must go on the record to say that I fear and loathe the drug Lasix with the force of a million suns.
