Beautiful! ❤️
Last night’s sunset over New York looked absolutely unreal — a fiery glow pouring through one massive cloud and casting radiant beams across the entire skyline. 🌇🔥

Swear to God if I have to see/hear one more "here's how YOU, an individual, can conserve water!" announcement I am going to start biting. Tech companies are boiling whole ass rivers to generate AI slop, but it's "ooohhh take shorter and less frequent showers." JFC just let me wash my ass in peace.

I see

and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

So poetic for an infrastructure…
there will be heat.
there will be humidity.
there will be sun.
there will be darkness.
there will be rain.
there will be wind.
there will be storms.
there will be middle of the days.
there will be overnights.
there will be water flowing.
there will be work to do.
there will be.
there? we’ll be.
