So #EzraKlein thinks Democrats should run anti-choice candidates in red states? No. Here in Ohio, we voted to protect abortion rights after our gerrymandered state government criminalized it. Guess what, Ezra? The answer for Democrats is not to *sell out more.* Okay? #Nowarbutclasswar

I am so used to listening to music through my headphones, that when I unplug them, I feel like music is spilling all over the place.

Solidarity with all beings: creatures in the wild, working people, children of Gaza, children of Alabama, children of Cleveland, children of the Congo and Sudan, prisoners in Florida, trans people everywhere, and teachers, and nursing mothers, and the old folks--it’s time for radical love!

Here we are in the heart of summer again. A return to the heat and stillness. I just drafted a short solar punk story. I struggle with short stories because I naturally write long-form. But I’d really like to get more short work out there.

Nature is sacred. People are following themselves in circles worshiping AI gods, lost without nature. Nature is waiting for us to return, to love.

Soft hearts are strong hearts.
Courage--to not follow orders and rip a baby from her mother’s arms. To put the gun down.
Fear hardens hearts. Love anyway. Love through fear. Love in all directions. Love deep and long. Release into love. Let the heart be soft. A soft heart is a living heart.

I saw videos of LAPD shooting a journalist from Australia and a woman who was just walking home. Rubber bullets. I knew a guy who was shot (in the back) with rubber bullets at a protest 20 years ago. He had scars.
10 million people live in LA county. That’s a lot of power. My heart is with them.

Anyone read The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence and One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez? #novels I read One Hundred Years maybe 7-8 years ago, and The Rainbow 3-4 years ago, so they aren’t super fresh in my mind. But I’d love to chat with someone who has read both. <3

Time to deflate all that pent-up bent-up Power hoarded by Violence and get that Power back to the People (and the trees, and the animals, and the Holy ecosystems, Power to the air, to the Sacred Waters....). Time to dissolve, erode the Power hoarded by Violence, and pump that Power into Life!

Every morning I work on the sequel to Mona Cost. I enjoy it so much I cry dry tears. Agh! Being an underground (deep, deep, deep underground, lol) novelist can feel futile. Who does my writing feed? How does my writing help turn the crank? But when I do it, I just love it so much.
