I can no longer
see myself reflected
in the green deeps of your eyes
not even in my dreams, and yet
in the pond where we used to swim...

self preservation
a wrought iron fence gate - closed
trying not to rust

waning moon
a Father's Day card
from the dog

We, the people, have spoken!

You can't understand the behaviour of US elites - Democrats being too timid, Republicans debasing themselves, bureaucrats who behave like pushovers - without reference to the constant threat of political violence that has come with MAGA. Every day is January 6. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.

This is only going to get worse.

I can no longer
see myself reflected
in the green deeps of your eyes
not even in my dreams, and yet
in the pond where we used to swim...

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

We have always been here.

Why does Trump keep pardoning Americans who are the kind of people he claims he's deporting, while he continues to try to deport students & people facing persecution if they're removed? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Mystical owl, bringer of dreams, seer of truth, ancient symbol of renewal and messenger from the underworld.

No kings.
No way.

Love that fantasy “equal justice under the law” that Trump 🤡and his inducted co-defendants made a mockery of over and over again. What a special role model that only sees money 💰and the color gold 💛, eh? If we were in Egypt, he be building his tallest Trump Tower as a resting crypt in perpetuity.
