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.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
Oh and get the money out of politics

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.
Dachau was not "death camp" either, in the sense that it did not have gas chambers nor was it the site of mass executions.
I studied in Munich for a year, and visited it twice. Visitors were routinely disappointed that there were no gas chambers, and that the whole place was rebuilt for tourists after being torn down after the war.
There is indeed a Holocaust Industry, as Norman Finkelstein wrote.
