Control & servitude
forever your submissions,
you only love the wild
as a symbol of something to tame.
So you chattel some like cattle
just to watch the butterflies
wriggling as they emerge
from tightly bound cocoons,
delicate and safe,
manageable, under thumb.

And now Trump is sending Troops to Israel to help maintain that peace. Unbelievable.

...And, as I understand it, unless the government shutdown gets resolved they'll be deployed without pay until the shutdown ends.

As a show of sincere commitment to Trump’s so called “Gaza Peace Deal,” Israel is continuing to bomb civilians through out the night.

How can Trump designate US unpaid Troops for #Israel peacekeeping without the approval of Congress? It costs money and possible lives to send troops to a war zone to keep Hamas and Israel from restarting a war. Or is that Trumps plan to get involved with that war?

So I just wanna make sure I got this right… we couldn’t afford the $84bil in student debt relief but we can afford to just give Argentina over $20bil for no reason? I would say make it make sense but we are all mad on this side of the looking glass

Daily Simpsons quote.

Sometimes it’s best just to suppose it wasn’t important and that the universe knows best.

Sometimes.

But if I don’t have them, how will I ever know what I think, and more importantly what others think about what I think?

It’s like how I always have to use my turn signal so that I know what I’m about to do.

Thulusdhoo, Maldives. Sunset Golden Hour at the Sunset Beach. Standing at the shoreline, gazing out at the turquoise and gold-tinged lagoon, the sun peeks through the low clouds, casting a golden hue over the horizon. The sky, adorned with golden clouds, gradually transitions into a deep blue as it ascends. The higher clouds, bathed in the setting sun’s glow, exude a radiant light, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

Good morning, don’t forget to laugh at the ridiculous idiots trying to rule the world today.

You can get mad about it too. But don’t forget that 1st part. It really pisses them off.
