sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

hey! thank you very much to all my readers for making “it’s time to leave Joe Biden the fuck alone” my first post to receive ten thousand likes!
My impression is that a lot of political experts and other commenters are conflating winning a debate with winning an election. People might agree that Harris won the debate, but they still might vote for Trump. And there are thousands of potential voters who like his lies and like that he lies and then lies about his lies.
Trump is absurdly, pathetically, desperately "running from prison," as George Conway says. He's desperate to regain power, to hang on to his money, and to not be "the loser" …
Agreed..the margin of effort rather than error. It is some consolation to hear rumblings of discontent within the Republican party. The down ballot swing state republican candidates must be wearing their shoes on the other foot than after the June debate when they were gleefully prancing around so sure footed.
