fresh-picked emotion
dried and pressed to nature's page;
the art of haiku

winter solstice, mist
like steam beneath the streetlamps;
breath of a ghost sun

black-tip gull, streaking
down the flight of a sunbeam
at nothing but joy

Greens really likely to get major liftoff before Your Party can even set out its stall, assuming its self-inflicted wounds aren't already mortal

“I don’t deserve—” shut up, yes you do, unless the answer is “a coward’s death” (you are a great warrior)

Bertolt Brecht’s “Cantata for the anniversary of Lenin’s death” (he died 100 years ago today):
Cantata for the anniversary of Lenin's death 1 When Lenin died A soldier of the honour guard, so it is told, Said to his comrades: I didn't want To believe it. So I went in where he's lying and Shouted in his ear: "Ilyich The exploiters are coming!" He didn't stir. Now I know he is dead. 2 When a good man wants to go How can you hold him back? Tell him why he is needed. That will hold him. 3 What could hold Lenin? 4 The soldier thought: When he hears that the exploiters are coming Even if he's sick he will still rise up. Perhaps he will come on crutches Perhaps he will let himself be carried, but He will rise up and come To fight against the exploiters. 5 For the soldier knew that Lenin Had fought against the exploiters All his life. 6 When, back then, the soldier had helped In the storming of the Winter Palace He wanted to go home, because The fields of the landowners were being shared out But Lenin said to him: stay a while! There are still exploiters. And as long as there are exploiters Someone has to fight them. As long as there is you You must fight them. 7 The weak don't fight. The stronger Fight for perhaps an hour. Those who are yet stronger fight for many years. But The strongest fight all their lives. They Are indispensable. 8 (Praise of the revolutionary) When oppression is growing Many are discouraged But his courage increases. He mounts his struggle For another penny in wages, for hot water for tea And for the power in the state. He asks of property: Where do you come from? He asks of opinions: Whom do you serve? Where people are silent There he will speak And where oppression rules and the talk is of fate He will name names. Where he sits down at the table Discontent joins the party The food is meagre, after all The room is revealed as too small. Wherever they chase him, there Insurgency follows, and where he is driven out Unrest remains. 9 At the time when Lenin died and his absence was felt Victory had been won, but the country was laid waste. The masses had set out on their journey, but The way was dark. When Lenin died The soldiers sat down on the kerb and wept And the workers ran from the machines and Shook their fists. 10 When Lenin went, it was As if the tree had said to the leaves: I'm leaving. 11 Since then, fifteen years have passed. One sixth of the earth Is freed from exploitation. At the call: the exploiters are coming! The masses will rise up again and again Ready to fight. 12 Lenin is enshrined In the great heart of the working class. He was our teacher. He fought with us. He is enshrined In the great heart of the working class.

I want Jen Walters to do horrible, horrible things to me.

Her being played in the MCU by Tatiana Maslany didn't help

end of a long shift, voice tired, talking to customer on phone about fitting new bathroom

she laughs, says "don’t you hate those little shower cubicles, there's never enough room to bend down and shave your legs is there?"

takes me a second to realise I AM PASSING ON THE GODDAMNED TELEPHONE

Identify with this a lot - my egg cracked the way Hemingway describes going bankrupt: gradually, then all at once. I can see some of the individual turning-points in hindsight but they weren't necessarily obvious at the time

I don't think there is any given person.

Several friends through LARP were part of it: before them I don't think I'd really met a trans person. So, like, I was aware it was a thing, but kinda in the same way astronauts where: they existed, but I couldn't be one....

Who cracked your egg?

Nobody like, gave me the Talk that I remember, but my friends @scattermoon.bsky.social, @hospitablewidow.bsky.social, and a couple others who aren't on here were big parts of my journey - but also I think Laura Jane Grace's transition was very big for me
