#poetry #mpprompt Taught this hymn by hands gnarled with sacred wisdom Brick hearth the altar to coax flame hidden in oak Rise dough from earth grains Scatter salt from the sea Breathe sunlight from herbs Glowing coals forge loaves as in ages past Sink your teeth into this sacrament & be connected

#mpprompt #poetry @skullsandsheets.bsky.social inspired Should I dance a border dance? Play a mummers' play? Bid welcome to the Mari Lwyd? Or hope it goes away? Ancestors from across the pond Mixed here a New World stray But heritage stares out of the dark Their dreams still light today

Of all the minerals in the #OreCup for my art/physics use voting scheme copper wins hands down! Ok, molybdenum has some applications as catalyst/electrodes/in alloys but copper is the conductor par excellence. In art we have all of bronze & copper sculpture & many blue/green pigments! Vote copper!

Moral Outrage Where are loud evangelicals now, when mouths are starving? surely Jesus said starve people and build a ballroom; Where are the finger pointers when federal workers go unpaid- surely good economy means less working people; Live with what you wanted, this is it, #emoetry #poetry

This is why it's never *just* a cold! If you've got good health, good for you. So many of us do not! For so many of us, a cold puts us in bed for a week, or worse! Please start caring about other people and stay home when you're ill!!!!

Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and Broadway to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop makinge a living. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.

Our military…. Is not getting paid either… military families going to food banks… So fucking shameful, but they have no shame… totally cool with tacky parties while people starve 😡 The Hunger Games in real life

#poetry #mpprompt Winter, you & I have never been friends yet I invite you in shake the crystal ice from your cloak bundle you by the fire with a steaming mug of spiced cider bake you bread & meat pies until you begin to thaw unfurling into the gold-green warmth of spring

#poetry #mpprompt There are louder things than children but their excitement still reflects off the museum in sharp staccato bursts as they pour from the buses ecstatic to escape classrooms for a fieldtrip to touch the past & connect their own memories to how we got here

#poetry #mpprompt No footsteps in the deeps so dark so crushing only rare submersible visitors wonder at the strange bioluminescent creatures that create life here against all odds

The Sub Heard ’Round the Potomac... 😜

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

#poetry #mpprompt You must be a dingbatter if you don't know to burn the marsh to get the sparrow-grass without burning yourn house. Up from Nahfuk, you say? Poor dit-dot, lost in Guinea. Don't let my talk mommick you none. Y'all come-here's sure confusticate easy. Shake my head.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

hey!

This person took this when they called the race

9. Now this idea is being resuscitated once again. The city is cast by the new wave of fascists as a degenerate, crime-ridden arena, dominated by Muslims, immigrants and “alien” ideas such as feminism, antifa, anti-racism, trans rights, asylum, public transport and intellectualism.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Gen Z women stepping up! bsky.app/profile/ojtp...

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

I just got out of D&D and am finally watching The Speech and I got as far as "these are not hands that have been allowed to hold power" before I burst into tears www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MfB...

this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.

After a judge ordered Donald Trump to make SNAP payments, the wannabe king declared he will defy a court order and won't help people afford groceries. Trump's message to 42 million Americans: eat dirt.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

The “what should poor people be allowed to eat” debate is infuriating. The answer is simple. They should be allowed to eat anything. It’s no one’s business. Ideally we would agree that food is a basic human right & it would be plentiful for all. Until then, stop judging. Fed is best.

Budgetbytes.com So many great ones to choose from here

Don't sleep on instant ramen. Sometimes the only energy I have is for heating up some noodles, throw in some frozen veggies and top with some protein. Half the soup packet to cut back on salt, maybe add some peanut butter and chili crisp mixed together. thewoksoflife.com/10-instant-r...

The artist Keith A Pettit spotted this photo and came up with this wood engraving based on it. I love it. You can find out more about Keith's work here: www.keithapettit.com

#poetry #mpprompt Shall we travel together through time & space? Other worlds appear from the pages, words give life to people & creatures. Shall I live this dream, laugh & cry with you, feelings shared in this book? What magic, to join our spirits here. I think this author & I could be friends.

you either need universal basic income for humans or you must limit the use of Gen AI in such a way that humans aren’t radically impoverished as a result. you cannot have both, both for morality reasons and also because this is the kind of thing that can result in globally-nightmarish conflict.

Discovered #StandingStoneSunday and in honor of this day I’d like to share a drone photo I’ve taken of the Blomsholm stone ship/ship setting, located near Strömstad in Bohuslän, Sweden. The ship measures more than 40 m in length, and consists of 49 large menhirs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blomsholm

Turning a blind eye to racism for far too long got us here. We are at the proverbial crossroads. Time to choose. Now. Who are we? What do we stand for?

3d: Blue Cthulhu in the outlet by the light switch. Based on the Dork Tower Nov05/2012 by @muskratjohn.bsky.social :) #nomadsculpt. I'm so tickled by how this came out. The silk filament did not work as well as I'd hoped but I think the regular PLA gives a lovely soft blue glow. Hope folks enjoy :)
