Wonderful that we're needing to have these discussions because of bots and trolls, while the the wealthy, powerful narcissists laugh all the way to the bank and military industrial complex.

I caught a word today
wording was good
today

Casting word nets
reeling them in

bait

nouns and rhymes

But the word that I caught

today

a bit smallish
and lonely

We spoke for a while
shared some stories
and wine

then

I set the word free
to return to word sea

Y'all are doing a bang up job

For the greedy, narcissistic, wealthy, powerful fucks

Congratulations

Here's to another ten thousand years of the same

Cheers!

Dumbasses

Not to mention all the relatively comfortable people able to point, role eyes and walk away from the disgusting delusion game of "I'm more special than you... because...,"

while simultaneously down low defending the wealthy, powerful, greedy fucks manipulation & horror cause it keeps them comfy.

Like, "All those fucking groups are full of delusionally pride filled assholes willing to defend their made up bullshit to the death. And the wealthy, powerful, greedy fucks love all of your cosplay nonsense. It's a manipulation celebration every day for the real assholes"

"Yeah, that"

2/3
Anyone stop to think? Maybe, just maybe, it's the layers and layers of cosplay bullshit covering our shared humanity?

Layers stitched together with thousands of years of adolescent fear, jealousy, hate and ignorance.

1000s of years of evidence, and 10s millions slaughtered proving the point.

It's great!
So exciting!
Every time I open up Bluesky

pointing ->
"Racist!"
"No, you're racist"
"Shut up. Them over there is antisemitic"
"Nuh, uhh. It's those islamophobes"
"Both wrong, it's the melanin deficient"
"BS, it's the more melanin crowd"
"Nobody understands, it's the chrissytiannys"

A person
A human... Being
Older
Feeling older
Than
Days as one

Stumbles delightfully
Across
Wisdom's jagged crack
Bringing mind
To day's
Hidden flower

And
For a moment
All the world
shines
So brightly

Thank you for posting this beautiful poem, this wonderful poet. My day is brighter

No One Can Stop The Rain
By Assata Shakur

Two letter title, IT, from Stephen King's novel, the character of Pennywise, hell the whole entire novel are the perfect metaphor for the world's wealthiest, most devout, most powerful people.

They are the real life equivalent of the concentrated psychic sludge of greed, pride and willful blindness

Worse, they sit around twisting language to feel better about themselves

it's so gross to listen to

it's exactly the standard approach seen in nearly every realm: social, news, entertainment, business, government, religious

IT... is everywhere

forever wars for oil, profit, resources

EVERYWHERE

Was gonna start listing some other stats

wealth inequality

# of people considered "middle class"

gargantuan rise over 50yrs of top 5%'s share of wealth

universe sized rise of the top 1%'s share of wealth

then, I said, "f'k it"

people who could change this horror show don't give a flying fuck

How can any human be safe when we're all a bunch of ethnic, religious, race & nation patriots believing we are chosen by some fairytale god, annointed by ancient relatives, swaddled by national anthems, tinted by magic melanin... as the chosenest, mostest special, perfectest humans on planet earth?

You are as dangerous to the health of this planet, me and my family as ICE agents, the orange mob puppet, putin, the use of fossil fuels, ALL the news media, and toddlers sporting melting ice cream cones on a lazy Sunday in August, in Houston, Texas.

But, at this point, no matter your ethnicity, religion, race or nationality, if you're dolled up in deadly serious layers of christian, black, muslim, white, jewish, catholic, american, russian, etc bullshit, I'm crossing the street & watching my back. You're a big part of the problems in the world.

If you're walking down the street in blue jeans, grey t-shirt and $20 kicks, don't matter if you're white, black, brown, mellow yellow, vanilla cream, purple slurple or pink petunia.

We can't combat the truly evil, greedy narcissistic, sociopaths and psychopaths when every fucking person has painted themselves in virtually meaningless religious, ethnic, racial and nationalistic colors and deadly serious prick waving pride.

Very difficult to express how exhausted, disgusted & plain pissed-off I am at the people who scream on social media, on TV, in the newspapers, in public throughout the 🌎"My ethnic/racial/religious group 'X' is proud & strong!"

Bitch, every single human is proud & strong. Your bs IS the problem.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

Working with a friend, who will add some guitar to complete this blues/folk song. Heck, who knows where it will go when we jam it out. Excited to hear what my friend and I come up with.
Best Love, David

Absolutely delighted by this post to r/crossstitch where the OP doesn’t realize that she’s just broken the world record for largest cross stitch by a single stitcher and is informed of said record breaking status in the comments

Black and Brown people. PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of us all do not allow yourself to be interviewed if SNAP benefits don't come on November 1. Make the white folks do the interviews. They love getting Black folks to do these interviews so that people think we are the only ones hurt.

In 1980
34% of greater Columbus Ohio residents were renters

In 2025
56% of residents are renters

Hmmm?
