Human beings suffer,
They torture one another,
They get hurt and get hard.
No poem or play or song
Can fully right a wrong
Inflicted and endured
…
History says, don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
Human beings suffer,
They torture one another,
They get hurt and get hard.
No poem or play or song
Can fully right a wrong
Inflicted and endured
…
History says, don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime

Some of my sun photos. I can understand those who worship the sun and nature and related deities. The sun and nature are real, they are truths and they are constant. Religions based on invisible sky gods who require blind faith are not for me.

She helped me understand why people self harm. You lay bare your soul to someone close to you and they ignore it. They should understand. You'd think they would understand or listen. But they are shut. I haven't gone there. But I understand. It hurts. But you persevere.

Dems trying to take down Mamdani by calling him "socialist" and saying he's antisemitic because he doesn't want to fly to Israel are going the screw over themselves and this country because you're going to lose even more people on the left.

When a man grows old his joy
Grows more deep day after day,
His empty heart is full at length,
But he has need of all that strength
Because of the increasing Night
That opens her mystery and fright.

i{The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.}

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Went back to working on the basement since it's so hot outside (still wanting to repaint the deck and finish sealing the fence). The floor paint still need to dry and then I'll get to the walls.
