Ah, but the trick is
I am a dragon poet.
My words can destroy.

When I get up to speak,
I feel edgy, at best.
My pores start to leak
My heart beats out my chest.
I could try to invest
Some more time to this task
I could wait til inquest
Brings me forth just to ask.
But perhaps my best bet
Is to put on a mask.

When we heard we had two
wolves dwelling within
The choice was presented
To feed one, but who?
The problem persists,
It's not a choice for a lark.
Not all choose to resist;
While we were feeding the light,
They fed the dark.
Now we both have to fight.

I got to do my hair for Friday. Yeahhhh

KM is very pleased with his blue-tinged hair. The hair is blue along the tips, coming over his shoulders. Predictably, the white hair is most visibly tinted with blue.

The real left is growing. Capitalism has reared its ugly head. Social democrats running in bourgeois elections that call Cuba a dictatorship don’t count anymore. The communist movement is coming. ❤️

What the actual fuck. My wife and I have learned exactly one thing about the fuckers attacking us, and she destroyed the information. I don't understand at all.

Kill The Policeman
#poetry

Unbroken, stalwart
Sentinel standing firm
The policeman in my head
Recites the rules for my concern

Don't be bold
Stand up straight
Don't complain
Clean your plate
Don't melt down
Quit your stims

Wear male clothes
Don't give in
Fight the world
Don't react
Be alert
Don't be cold

Whatever you do
Break the mold

Unspoken, convert
Another skill to learn:
The policeman in my head
Can motherfucking burn

I might be an old man
Prone to shouting at clouds
But I think even I can
Be allowed to laugh out loud.
When the clouds that they buy
From the big tech cloud sky
Go down all at once;
You can see the pressure fronts.
There is no real cloud;
It's just someone else's computer.

Meanwhile that's all we were ever told as young adults. "This is the best time of your lives". Does it have to be that way or does society make it that way?

One thing I'll say is having my own form room, meal plan then apartment in college, and having access to financial aid to make ends meet...is probably the closest I'll ever get to knowing what that stability is like while living on my own.

Xodanix3 @xodanix3.bsky.social · 3d

How can you know if you never had the chance to experience that?

Xodanix3 @xodanix3.bsky.social · 3d

We were robbed of our ability to know what it's like to live and have a calmed nervous system.

I'm in the same boat. The only time in my adult life I ever had real calmness and stability was over the summer I was in a research training program. They fed and housed me and I actually had the time, energy, and stability to learn how to do science. A time I won't forget.

Have you read Asimov's "The Last Question"? I feel like these people really want that to be true, or something

For every capitalist with a calmed nervous system, is thousands of ppls who have unmet hierarchy of needs and live in a constant state of fight or flight precarity.

This week, we’re inviting supporters to adopt a reentry kit - a simple way to say, “I see you, and I believe in your next chapter.”

Each kit costs $25 and includes hygiene items, basic clothing, snacks, and a phone card. It’s a small package with a big message: you matter, and you’re not alone.

Wow. Harris still wants to run for President? And people called Nader selfish.

I've never seen the hat man, but I can still picture it very clearly. Terrifying imagery.

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.
