when life at its least was barely enough misery denied that I didn't give up So for those unable to see the imminent catastrophe Fanatical glory lost in the smoke screen Blinded by lies that soothe their ego Oblivious of the pain they’re reaping Ready to let it all burn for their infantile king 2/2

Watch EVERY SECOND of this. PREACH !! "Y'all loved every bit of the cruelty and suffering that Trump has brought on, and in the midterms, y'all are going to get wiped out!" From his lips to God's ears. VOTE!!

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I also once argued with Dr over my 9/10 painscale as my ovary was trying to kill me. 💯 representation of USA healthcare that makes me want to scream...or smear blood in pitcher of OJ Beef Season 2 Episode 4 Takes On The U.S. Medical System In A Dark Mirror Of The Pitt share.google/mrFheONaKenX...

share.googleBeef Season 2 Episode 4 Takes On The U.S. Medical System In A Dark Mirror Of The Pitt - SlashFilmSeason 2 of Beef has an episode that takes on the medical system in the United States, but does so in a way that's the tonal and total opposite of The Pitt.

1/2 Aching, teasing pain Straining against conforming layers Haunted by glistening lips that wouldn't stop Eyes that couldn't look away From the naked feast Decadent nutritional debauchery Savoring the flavors with abandon That I regret with every bite #poetry #poetrysky #writersky

October is Substance Use Prevention Month & stories of addiction and recovery remind us that healing is not linear, and that there is no single “right” path to recovery. Representation gives language, visibility, and hope to those who may feel alone in their journey. Here are some recs! #booksky

You ripped our dreams out of the sky plunged it into our heart A weapon made of our own design We screamed until we could not breathe smothered by ashen sorrow Because hate cannot accept why it is not free Why it cannot laugh at itself or wear what it pleases 1/2 #poetry #poems #poetrysky #booksky

2/2 Slowly hope is unburied Fear fades and tears dry Our twin towers did not die for you They lived for us Every life that fell with them Still lives with us Every hero who scrabbled up those stairs Still lives with us Hate cannot win because it never truly fights Only love triumphs imperfect, free

Follow the leader and you’ll never get lost & never go wrong the rules will change to meet your need the directions are right if you always believe loyal and lying pile up in the streets you won’t have to choose you won’t have to think sit with hands folded & legs spread wide insert your hate 1/2

it feels so good to feel so little to think of yourself without anyone else the best partner in bed has no voice and no choice just lie there and take it in every place that might require decision in every ballot in a free election just seal up the box for you know what’s best 2/2 #poetry #liverant

"It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check...But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. " MLK Jr #poetrysky

..."We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #juneteenth #ihaveadream

Trump’s Triple-down Tax Scam With triple the cuts going to the rich, A $4.5 trillion tax cut is crazy, bitch! And steal our benefits to pay for it? Trickle-down didn’t. Fuck that shit.

Trans Day of Visibility was Monday 31st, so one of my favorite bookstores gathered these titles to check out. I just ordered 'A Gentleman's Gentleman' by TJ Alexander. 🩵🩷🩵 #booksky #books #indiereads #reading #transdayofvisibility #queerauthors #queerreads

A New Level of Incompetence Using Signal is wildly irresponsible, Making high security totally impossible. Trump’s team did the unfathomable, “Highest level of fuckup imaginable.”

The blurb says it all in @joconklin.bsky.social’s brilliant starter pack. The #writingcommunity isn’t anti-tech but sceptical about certain uses of generative #AI, the thievery underpinning it, the crap it produces & the motives of the tech bro billionaires behind it.

Miles of water behind us A Roaring sea full of tears Clutching the pieces of home That will fit in my hand Alone with old words for my new friends We wait for daybreak Changing winds greet us A city that shines like buttons of a new coat My silent lady stands above all (1 of 2) #stpatricksday

Not the image of a monarch or god But a woman firm of resolve Unwavering against tyranny Mother of Exiles Her law governs without favor or grudge Truth levied unvarnished and unbought But stands for deliverance. #saintpatricksday 🍀 #happysaintpatricks

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

Ash I don't like you. Let's get married anyway, wrap the vows around us like gauze, pretend we don't see the blood. Let's have a funeral wedding where I can love you and bury you in the same breath. Never mind, I want a fucking divorce. A ring of gold with the sun in it— melt it down, melt it down…
