Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay,
And the May month flaps its glad green leaves like wings,
Delicate-filmed as new-spun silk, will the neighbours say,
"He was a man who used to notice such things?"

Love this frog. He’s got a cheeky look like “Now it’s MY turn, thumb-monkeys.” Also agreed about the alt text on videos, I’m glad they have it for screen readers but it would be nice if anyone could see it.

Hi, my Etsy shop is mostly cross stitch patterns, but I’ve also just started selling these buttons, which I make with black out poetry from old books. There are the poetry ones and there are also pronoun badge ones in the black out style. There are two sizes of each.

So the cocaine wasn’t keeping the capsized boat afloat. At best it was doing nothing, more likely it was reducing buoyancy.

Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s Archimedes.

Make these dufy ass bigots explain themselves out loud in public in plain sentences

If we must suffer under debate culture, at least take back the terms of debate

Explain why we should as a nation defund programs that help children who have been trafficked

With your outside voice!

Oh, that’s a good one. I should dig that up again.
