I imagine anyone resonating on a conscious level - much less engaging - is rare.
Not just because of the underlying channel (and alien) complexity, but because platforms like this reward identity-castles and cliquish defragmentation.
The smismatch is built in but not absolute.
So I try.

Trying to escape the tropic digital heroine you see everywhere...
She stands facing but obliquely, hands behind the back, a gesture of presence not performance:
-emotionally reserved, not cold
-aware
-processing, not overwhelmed
-like she carries weather inside her chest

Any accusation - from a person, partner, group, or administration - often reveals more about the accuser than the accused.
And yes, we do this to ourselves too.
I'd wager we always have.

Since turning reposts back on, my feed’s been flooded; it's easy to lose the things you actually write/share.
Is there anything lately that I shouldn’t miss?
Point me to it, please.

Why do I envision the "opposition" in their bunkers, peering out through slits, waiting for the explosions, rather than trying to prevent it?
This is…not grounded in reality.

Biden being kind is good. Nantucket just adds that layer where the class-signal and the moment blur.

Emotional and psychic capacity behave almost exactly like volatile assets.
This is where people usually lie to themselves the most.
Most folks behave like ETFs, honestly.
I have before, as well. Sometimes, do, still.

you know how stocks increase in spread the more volatile and manipulated they are?
I see a similar spread between what is reported/informed to the public and what is really happening.
motive? shield their scoundrel activities.

Why does society feel like an era long exoskeleton molting?
Except like a crab suffering from barnacles and missing/betraying limbs...
the shell is cracking, the new form isn’t ready, and the creature inside is half-aware, half-delusional, and carrying parasites it can’t shake

Quick note (politics):
Politicians don’t act like individuals, they’re avatars of structural pressure.
Not an excuse, a reality most people miss when they map personal, subjective frames onto political systems.
And honestly, even that impulse isn’t wrong, it’s where moralizing tends to arise, tho

I circle a similar philosophical center, here. I also recognize how I interact/come across feels alien and impossible for others, so they fill in their cognitive gaps, and you can guess what tends to fill voids quicker than most... it's asking a lot from others. I've had a history of doing that...

This really stands against the cultural ideal narrative.
Individuation is just that, I suppose. A form of isolating freedom.

Been sampling The Book of Disquiet lately...
Pessoa intellectualized hunger.
Pessoa moralized desire.
Pessoa exiled the animal.
I embody hunger,
befriend desire,
and acknowledge the animal without shame...
What has our era's environmental pressure done, each?
I am intrigued at what he would say

What is the line
between hunger and desire
a red seam,
stitched with our teeth.
Naming it
only makes it bleed
more loudly
unhealing
in its resilience.
The animal?
She’s not gone
she waits,
silken-pawed
in the pit of my throat
at the base of my tongue,
purring
for ruin
