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.

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.

My Saturday PSA:
Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore.
Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office.
Stop talking about Joe Biden.
Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

By enforcing the Comstock Act — which is still on the books, as Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, and numerous other Republicans keep reminding us — they will be able to ban the shipment of anything, from drugs to surgical devices, that can be used to produce an abortion. This could even end most hospital-based abortions by essentially outlawing the equipment needed to perform them."
This here is a great display of rightwing, excuse me - American Taliban - hypocrisy and zealotry. On the one hand, the gazillionaire's-as-a-political-party front - the GOP - and their now private court of 6COTUS can't move fast enough and far enough solidifying the "right" to military-grade instruments of death for domestic use.
On the other hand, the American Taliban and 6COTUS are steamrolling half the population through forced birth "protection" of fertilized eggs.
Here's a summary of this conflicted lunacy in one sentence:
The Republican party as the party of the unborn AND the undead willfully ignore - in its entirety - that thing we know as "life", which spans the eternity between their two bookends of conflicting Extremisms.
American Taliban leader, Donald Trump (who held tea with THE Taliban at Camp David), 6COTUS, and the Republican party as-absorbed-by the Heritage Foundation have a very real agenda to punish anyone not sufficiently submissive to their unwelcome advances.
