this is it, this is the thing it's about right here. hbd u2

a crowd shot of U2 performing a surprise pop-up gig for their 50th anniversary on the balcony of Bewley's on Grafton Street in Dublin, Ireland. We see the heads of dozens of people packed into the street directly in front of the building. In the foreground, a hand is holding up a phone to capture the show

A close up of the phone in the crowd, you can see it's a FaceTime call streaming the show from a person in the crowd to a person in their car; both people are wearing giant giddy smiles

going insane because you traveled interdimensionally or met aliens or met god is understandable. but going insane because you used a computer chat program is just embarrassing

We didn’t have unity then, but there’s absolutely no reason we can’t have it tomorrow poets.org/poem/gate-4

Gate A-4
Naomi Shihab Nye 1952 -

Wandering around the Albuquerque Airport
Terminal, after learning
my flight had been delayed four hours, I heard
an announcement:
"If anyone in the vicinity of Gate A-4 understands any Arabic, please come to the gate immediately."
Well-one pauses these days. Gate A-4 was my own gate. I went there.
An older woman in full traditional Palestinian
embroidered dress, just
like my grandma wore, was crumpled to the
floor, wailing. "Help,"
said the flight agent. "Talk to her. What is her
problem? We
told her the flight was going to be late and she did this."

I stooped to put my arm around the woman
and spoke haltingly.
"Shu-dow-a, Shu-bid-uck Habibti? Stani schway,
Min fadlick, Shu-bit-
se-wee?" The minute she heard any words she
knew, however poorly
used, she stopped crying. She thought the
flight had been cancelled
entirely. She needed to be in El Paso for major
medical treatment the
next day. I said, "No, we're fine, you'll get there,
just later, who is
picking you up? Let's call him."
We called her son, I spoke with him in English.
I told him I would
stay with his mother till we got on the plane
and ride next to
her. She talked to him. Then we called her
other sons just
for the fun of it. Then we called my dad and he
and she spoke for a while
in Arabic and found out of course they had ten
shared friends. Then I
thought just for the heck of it why not call some Palestinian poets I know
and let them chat with her? This all took up two hours.

She was laughing a lot by then. Telling of her
life, patting my knee,
answering questions. She had pulled a sack of homemade mamool
cookies—little powdered sugar crumbly mounds stuffed with dates and
nuts-from her bag—and was offering them to
all the women at the gate.
To my amazement, not a single woman declined one. It was like a
sacrament. The traveler from Argentina, the
mom from California, the
lovely woman from Laredo-we were all covered with the same powdered
sugar. And smiling. There is no better ccokie.
And then the airline broke out free apple juice from huge coolers and two little girls from our flight ran around serving it
and they were covered with powdered sugar, too.
And I noticed my new best friend-
by now we were holding hands—had a potted plant poking out of her bag, some medicinal thing, with green furry leaves.
Such an old country tradi-
tion. Always carry a plant. Always stay rooted to somewhere.

And I looked around that gate of late and weary ones and I thought, This
is the world I want to live in. The shared world.
Not a single person in that gate-once the crying of confusion stopped—
seemed apprehensive about
any other person. They took the cookies. I wanted to hug all those other
women, too.
This can still happen anywhere. Not everything is lost.

It is not weird that almost no celebrities post on Bluesky it is weird that there was a time they ever did post on Twitter. Almost every famous person in the world would log on and post "I'm haveing an accident" every single day for many years and get nothing from it but grief.

It was a relief to grow up and learn that people don't start getting hot until their thirties. Sometimes their forties. Before that you're just young, and it really could go either way

I want the statement "Black Americans are conservative" to absolutely die in a fire. It's a lie from the pits of hell. Black America's record demonstrates that, as a whole, we are the MOST progressive racial/ethnic demographic in the United States and it's not even close.
