Remember:

Taffeta V. @taffetav.bsky.social · 1h

This is a poem by Joy Harjo. Harjo is a seventh-generation Monahwee daughter, a citizen of the Muscogee Nation (Este Mvskokvlke), and belongs to Oce Vpofv (Hickory Ground). She was the poet laureate of the United States for three terms. (I read this in my October episode of Late)

Remember the sky that you were born under,
know each of the star’s stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun’s birth at dawn, that is the
strongest point of time. Remember sundown
and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of
her life, and her mother’s, and hers.
Remember your father. He is your life, also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems.
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the
origin of this universe.
Remember you are all people and all people
are you.
Remember you are this universe and this
universe is you.
Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.
Remember language comes from this.
Remember the dance language is, that life is.
Remember.

Today I am making tiramisu, cleaning, and writing about werewolves. I feel like that’s plenty.

Presented with apologies to @nickcharles.bsky.social , because I played the first rehearsal recording of Nick Cave’s Where The Wild Roses Grow, where Blixa Bargeld sings the Kylie part. I know you love Kylie (I do too, but not as much as deep cuts, plus this is oddly haunting and lovely)

If you've prepared your patch properly, by now your pumpkins should be:
- humming slightly
- levitating a little
- visited nightly by dark fairies
- sinking their vines into other plants to drain them of energy
- murmering dark incantations to the elder gods

Hey Boppers: Did you have a crush on Bailey Quarters? Did you prefer Janeane Garofalo over the blonde bombshells? Do you love music and weird shit? Do you know what I mean when I say "Boppers"?

If the answer is yes, you should be listening to my weekly radio show, Late 🧵
