America.
Is this who you want to be?
I want to be known for caring for my people.

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Apr 29

Garden and take care of people.
Ok?

Feeling a strange base of hope underneath all the rage. I guess that’s what more time spent with family and in the local community will do for you!

Narrator: “He then went on to pay his taxes like a very good boy.”

And since we see what happens when funding is stopped, we’d want to consider putting those unused tax dollars toward donations for organization we actually like.

Tax Strike?

As a people, don’t we actually have the power to stop funding this nonsense?

I mean if Billionaires aren’t going to pay, why should we? But we’d need to coordinate so enough people actually do it.

If we can’t organize for 2025, then 2026?

Some days, everything really is quite nice. That’s a blessing!

I’m trying too hard to forget

Time with friends/family is valuable. Time alone is valuable. Tasty food is valuable. A working body is valuable. Belief in your fellow person is valuable.

What’s valuable about any of this nonsense going on? Do you even remember the last 5 posts you saw? We both know this place is an escape.

Instead, I have to forcibly decline a credit card from every godforsaken store!! Our systems don’t provide value anymore, they offer currency.

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Feb 22

I don’t know guys, I’m just tired of having to be outraged. The Earth is so so cool, we should just be like farming food and hanging out on the beach.

How likely do you suppose it is that states end up breaking off? Like legit, if useful things the government does are being demolished to siphon off funds to billionaires, how long do you think states will put up with that?

I think there’s a good chance unless there’s some serious national reform

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Feb 22

But also… there’s kinda a lot of doom out there right now so idk.

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Feb 22

I get really stuck worrying about originality, saying something fresh. And then I edit out what I want to say and replace it with an easy quip. But like… that’s better than just spouting doom I guess?

Halfway into the Morbin’ 20’s y’all.

I’ve always wanted to be a writer. But it’s terrifying.
So I’ve kept coming up with excuses for why I didn’t know enough to just start writing. And maybe now, when social media is dominated by terrible news all the time, I think, “Maybe I can just scream into the void for a while. And say the truth”

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Jan 26

Away to much softer, kinder and sweeter places. I feel more connected to god/everything than I have at any point in my life before now

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Jan 26

I’m sure a lot of people are doing the same sort of things I’m doing. By that, I just mean that there is a shared kinship with them.

But the question is how to retain your soul!

I grew up in a christian church, and I’ve since left it because my conscious led me away. My empathy led me away.

I’m talking about healthcare covered for your whole life! We all have bodies that are actively dying after what, like age 30?

Can we please share knowledge and care for them as a family gift to those who join us? How’s that for pro life.

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Jan 26

I talk as though I know what I’m saying, but I’m just as lost as everyone. I guess I just want to put myself out there for real this time.

I’m really tired of my country (USA) not using its enormous influence and power for better means. Not ends. Help make people’s direct lives better, please.

What happened in your day today? Was it “worry about _” like the past 7 days? This means you have been captured in a loop of fear. Imagine it eroding your time in this life. Be radically present whenever you can. It is our best defense.

Butter Monk @buttermonk.bsky.social · Jan 20

boundaries,
greed,
the endless rage of the dying

For why should they die?
But why should they live either?

They have pierced the moon, and the earth has never been the same.

The rare metal cables anchoring our beloved moon to the space stations hold her. She cannot move freely as she once did.
