Ono no Komachi (trans. by Jane Hirshfield and Mariko Aratani):

In response to a week of anxiety, migraines, and battling burnout, I have:
•made a whipped maple apple pie butter
•zested some lemon & mandarin into sugar & I’m letting it sit
•written a poem

Is it going to solve my problems? No! But it is delicious & nice to create things!

this is one of the best responses I've ever seen a politician give to any question, let alone one this aggressive

generational political talent

i have acquired the feminine urge to own a chainsaw

Updated my website & added a little blog section where I’ll post news & things I’m enjoying here and there 🍂

It’s official

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

Is denying people healthcare, kidnapping people from their jobs to be sent to detention camps, targeting minorities with legislation and hate speech campaigns not political violence?

Hell yeah

Applying to fellowships that would blow up my entire schedule (but it’s fine because I probably won’t get in but also I hope I get in but also I will have blown up my schedule a little bit)

We are legitimately looking at a genocide against trans people in the United States. That's not hyperbole. The Department of Justice isn't talking about disarming us so that we can all live quietly in peace.

There is still time to stop this, but only if cis people care enough.

writing & reading so much that it feels like words are coming out of my ears & I think that’s a good thing 🌻

10-12 absolute cowards attack one guy with a camera. Beyond disgraceful indeed.

but we can try, we can try.

I love HAD (radical sentiment, I know); so pleased they took this weird list poem

maybe its too blunt of an object but i will go to my grave thinking a big part of why we got here is a refusal to say dumb people and dumb ideas are dumb. we were too polite, and instead we said "that's an interesting take" when we should have said "shut the fuck up, you absolute dumbass."

Is that good
