#Hungary #Ukraine #Georgia #America

We are the backsliders.

The nations where Democracy is most acutely under attack.

In danger of falling, or falling even further, into the madnesses of malign men.

The ravenous egos of clowns, focused down on us four, pushing us down our mountains.

You 2, less than zero, out of many & multitudes.

You're anchored in noise that makes up the winds pulled by the gravity of our weighty times. We're on the razor's edge of the crater that seems to have holeshot America.

I'm holding your hand from falling in. Quantum shit, being what it is...

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 18m

Outnumbered, us kind & empathetic, 2 out of 500 at best.

Us fractional Hungarians, Georgians, Ukrainians, Orc or Americans below zero lines.

We, the faltering & fallen. We, the below what's zero.

That piece in you & I that has you here. Still reading.

Still wondering.

Still curious...

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 28m

Blowing down, with some nitrous, on the two out of 500 who ever see these words.

Laughing gases & absurdities, whistling past your ears & your eyes, while they weight you down.

While the gravity of our times pull you down your mountains.

2 out 500.

At best.

Ever see this screed...

Lucid.

There's a terrible crater in the collective mind makes up America, much like a bullet's entry wound writ large.

Center of such got gravity, vacuum, turbos & turbines...

All manner of suck mechanisms pointing into the singularity of what ails our era.

The incredible horsepower of horseshit.

/14

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 42m

Just so happens that it may just fucking be you.

Understand yet? 2 out of 500 hundred of you. At best!

Most likely none, or at least below 1.

But still, that small fraction?

That shit may fuckin' be in you, fuckwit.

Certainly is in me.

Can't be ignored, & burns a mighty fuckin' hole.

/13

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 51m

Do not doubt your station in this universe more than is humble.

Your curiosity remains intact. You are lucid in this reality that's gone to shit.

Your heart indeed has direction on how to heal what is broken time. It's a thing, that.

Those who shine when sanity's light goes dark.

Sorry...

Statistics. Probabilities. Human nature, the nature of entropy...

Odds of you ever seeing this missive in the first place are monumentally against ever of being so.

Yet yer eyeballs be reading this fuckin' sentence, troop.

Much less your comprehension of it, or its meaning.

Fuckin 2 ya...

2 out of 500 who will ever desire to follow the yammerings of this account. The story of this tank. The #MotherAbrams.

If this account doesn't post every hour or two?

You two are lost. You drop below the tides of zero.

Lost past attention's zero lines.

As a thinker, do you understand?

/10

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 1h

You. Only fractionally aware, at random times.

That's your awareness of this account, & your current times.

500+ of you, mostly dormant.

Do you understand?

The bet is, the stats say, it may well be just 2 of ya. Out of 5 fucking hundred.

(Because statistics, honestly, be fucking cruel...)

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 1h

We, the #Resonant amongst the many.

Those amongst us all who can move mountains.

We mostly slumber. Hibernating alongside kindness & empathy.

Some fuckin' random cave somewhere, where intellect's frost equator has not yet thawed in response to the flames & heat of our moment.

Yet to awaken.

There's a way to be good at the art of social media. It's to be omnipresent & ever posting.

To 500+, & stalled, followers of this account. You may have already realized this. #MotherAbrams ain't yer normal follow.

Don't even wanna be, nor will we even try.

Us rare. We lucid, we curious...

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 1h

This, actually an author's note in disguise, trying to figure out the beast that is social media.

It's so limiting. Like notes passed among school desks before the internet was existent. So much gets lost between short sentences. Entire contexts.

Then judgement floods the spaces between.

/6

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 1h

Amongst all the multitude, the many...

You are the few, you are the lucid.

This account cannot spam your needs for attention. It'll get lost in the drown.

You'll need to hunt us down with your focus. Your need to know.

Ain't sustainable otherwise. Just ain't that kind of thing.

Ya know?

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 1h

I've found music, #Allspeak, to be as such. Only understood by the hunters.

Not the gatherers, nor the illucid.

The curious amongst ya'll, as the incurious fall away from the trying.

That's who this account is for. The true seekers. Those sustained by truths.

Those with sight...

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 1h

But this account can't pop up in your feed so often as to remind you that it exists.

This account will be lost down blurs of your life's fog. Buried deep into your larger feedstock of content & posts.

You'll only happen upon us rarely, most likely never see it, if you ain't lucid nor curious.

I've tried to do it. I can't. I won't.

This ain't that kind of account.

A daily spam of what's going on, it's meaning to us as a species. I can't keep up, nor do I want to.

I've a front I'm fighting on, a zero line, in conjunction w/ others. It's in Ukraine.

Given due time, I can explain.

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 2h

Most likely did, but did you know?

Social media. It's a bit fucking shit.

To keep you apprised. To keep you & me at top of mind...

Have to spam this shit. Post e'ry hour, or half.

It's too much, dilutes intent & meaning.

Bullshit to tide us all over before bits of rare meaning present.

Air raid alert. Everyone’s in the shelter.
A song echoes underground.
It’s not fear — it’s life, it’s strength.
Ukrainians. Together. Unbreakable.

My salient is my own.

I have learned this lesson, over & over again.

I have no idea if this will translate beyond confusion:

Український танкіст...

Епоха танкової війни не закінчилася. Ми повинні знайти інший шлях.

Ти і я, разом...

Ми це знайдемо.

Ми не зазнаємо невдачі.

Це обкладинка найдивнішого посібника з експлуатації танка M1 Abrams, який будь-коли був написаний.

На ньому, на цьому фото обкладинки, зображено M1A2 Abrams у 3D-рендері. Навколо нього нанесено текст, виконаний графічним малюнком на сіро-білому фоні, щоб відповідати спектру вашої реальності. Речі так рідко бувають чорно-білими, незважаючи на схильності простих людських умів, які вас оточують.

Більшість речей, які ви переживаєте, будуть певним ступенем сірого, але більшість дивиться на краї. Де існують лише чорний або білий колір.

До біса ці сліпі йолопи, які бачать лише два відтінки. Які бачать лише прості кольори.

Якщо ви бачите ці слова, ви бачите у відтінках.

Це ваш шлях. Це ваша історія. Це ваш посібник...

I do understand it, American apathy, the force of it.

But fucking reject its momentum. Fucking reject its current trajectory.

Fucking reject the control of its failsons.

Alone, without a current together.

The tethers I've gathered whittled down near none.

Yet, I'm a vet.

Down to one...

The world in rapt witness as it falls asunder.

I don't think you truly understand this moment, this confluence of events.

I can admit to rageful vents of imploring. This moment, this passing. This, our shared time of perceiving.

How can you ignore klaxon, sounding or siren?

Slumber still?

/6

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 4h

To bread & circus.

Your lot, my lot.

Fucking chaos, fucking corruption.

Fucking apathetic slumber. A mighty nation asleep.

Because no one ever knows the nature of true time, perhaps for the last time.

America. A young nation. The dirt nap of freedom & justice.

Our current confluence.

The only message I can convey to your timeline. The only message that you may ultimately receive...

Is of a lonely veteran, stubborn enough in the environment of what currently sets your timeline. aflame.

The background of your current privilege America, as you've long abandoned...

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 4h

If you can hear klaxon & siren. Aware that the moment you inhabit may well be aflame?

Can't give you comfort, can't give you guarantees.

Our shared & better days...

They've been infested by numerous grifter fleas.

Ain't no telling of our time says that kindness, empathy, will win our day.

Mother Abrams @motherabrams.bsky.social · 4h

Alone, but still together, at least from afar...

We endeavor, you & I.

Women & men, made from metal, who see strange duties.

We who can see our species' strange seams.

We who endeavor to sew selfsame back together.

This accounting, if your soul pines for more...

Searches what matters most?
