Megyn Kelly had a meltdown over a nonwhite Santa

Mornings come later now,
permeated with scent of harvest,
green and red and the bright orange
of the Harvest Moo.

Morning air, heavy with moisture
seeps through my pores
into my bones.
I see roiling ships caught in rough sea,
their fortune a deity’s toss of dice,
or whim.
Ships laden with treasure,
sailors desperately loved.
Synchronistic vision,
on a placid pond three ships sail
a fine sunny regatta.
No longer await on the sickle,
deep fade of harvest
beckons to prescient chores.

Night storm.
Dream of dread,
exulted mortal fantasy?
Blowing into dark legends,
hungry ghosts
lick onto shore, howling.
Sea reclaims land,
seeping semen into soggy
womb, engenders crises of coming change.
Halflings gleam, seek succor of moonlight
peeking through, veiling black cloud visions.
Portents scream, drowned in thunder,
rage caught, flails in reverberating wind.
*

*
*
Huddling against terrible storms, warm, safe,
together. May we dream out dark weather in
gentle peace.

..."The #Biden administration has boasted of the record number of new #businesses created since Biden and #Harris took office. There have been 19 million new business applications in that time. Harris said she and Walz are setting a goal of 25 million new business applications in their first term. Their plan, they say, is to “kickstart…more young, small."...

It’s not journalism that sucks – it’s capitalism

the kind of both sidesism I want to see from mainstream media is where they show as little respect for Trump as they do for the people who are actually playing by our rules

mutable Earth

Perhaps we are in the hallway
of a great reckoning.

Mother Earth is old, tired, sick
of slatternly bastard brats
pulling her teats, calling
rude names,
fucking her over and over

Mad Earth grumbles loudly,
threatens to rescind Her bounty.
Men of ill will, men of destiny,
no interest in acting honorably as good
stewards of God’s Creation,
proudly proclaim their birthright
to pillage, to plunder, to prey upon
chaos, annihilation.

These people valued patriarchic hierarchies,
perhaps as being easier to control.
They made sin of bodily gratification,
pleasure, fun.
They devalued the Earth,
intra or inter-species cooperation,
the eco-sphere, the kinds of interdependence
that lead to appreciation of each connection.
They embraced harsh competition,
violent confrontation,
winner-take-all.
They favored the wealthy and powerful
whose ends justified any abhorrent means.
Their moral code was about restrictions,
not remedies.

It seems to me that these people are mistaken
when they claim to be at war against Satan,
because the God they worship is the God of Evil,
Destruction, Death, and Despair.
Yet, there are other gods with other values.
How did this group gain so much control over mankind?
Why do we hate our lives?

@br00t4c

how about we have experiences, with other people, like, you know, conversations and sports and games and block parties and whatever you enjoy -- no need to buy

@br00t4c

Trump just riffs off his inner scream

@br00t4c

in the way that he always accuses his opponent of his own tactics -- is Trump planning a famine?
