there is nothing more bitter than love
in all those long days of June

it's no wonder
you're so stubborn
nobody ever made you dig deeper
it's no wonder
you've got demons
everything you've ever done is coming back around

Please don't celebrate July 4 with fireworks. They scare pets and wild critters. They disturb children, people with PTSD, elderly people, and more. Celebrate, if you like, but do it without the bang and the boom.

you see me now, the veteran
of a thousand furry flamewars

in a room above a busy street, echos of a life
the fragments and the accidents
separated by incidents
listened to by walls
we share the same spaces
repeated in the corridors
performing the same movements

waiting for the bus in the rain in the rain wait waiting for the bus in the rain

*opens window to pouring down rain*

.... oh that's *nice*. *takes deep breaths*

The other afternoon I saw a dragon in the sky at sunset, but only had my phone with me to catch it.

Meanwhile Ted Cruz, of all people, is calling on Illinois Republicans to vote Democrat in November, because the Republican candidate is a literal Nazi: twitter.com/tedcruz/status/101 :birdsite:

I think the squeaky mouse toy I'm using to play with the kitten is alarming some birds outside--they're twittering in exactly the same key and rate as the mouse. XD

THIS. Even if you’re dark, you can still burn!

Does anyone know any organizations that directly materially aid sex workers in Seattle? The main one I found seems to be awareness-boosting-only.

when you're wigglin' your bare toes and you feel something soft and damp very gently *boop* AND THEN SUDDENLY TINY CLAWS AND TEETH

The Ones Who Retweet Vehement Condemnations of Omelas

CWs are super great to encourage political action because:

- you can mention where it's happening, so you don't have to read it if you can't do anything about it, (or forward it on in case others might be able to act on it)

- you can say 'hey, here's something that you can do about it' and people can think 'oh wow, that's great, I'll take a look at this when I'm up for it'

(ie. giving context and action statements prevents apathy and makes political action messages focused instead of chaotic)
