I assume, of course, that we must now identify the biggest bank to ever bank so that it may be robbed?

Here at the end of my Fukuyama arc is, at last, my review of his memoir. I pull the red thread of anxiety that runs through all of Fukuyama's thought: his fear of contravening Nature. In particular, I refute the transphobia of that perspective, and argue that overcoming Nature makes us human.

Fukuyama's Glasses

Like the man himself, Francis Fukuyama's new memoir "In the Realm of the Last Man" combines startling insight and baffling contradiction.

Also will note that now all of the nearby Republican parties are just “we love Trump. Look our gubernatorial candidates love Trump. This one had his wife stolen by Paul McCartney. If you vote for him you’ll definitely be owning the libs.”

-Just hyper focus on NYC to a ridiculous degree. Same energy as the tourists who insist on wearing MAGA hats in downtown Manhattan because they need everyone at any given moment to know who they voted for in the last three presidential elections. Meanwhile everyone else is focused on going to work.

All I know is that this would somehow result in there being less airport delays. Hoping Mamdani transes the local air ports soon. As an aside, being from New York and growing up in its suburbs it’s funny to me how the republicans here cast themselves as the more local party but outside of here-

In Arizona, state law may not protect horses from slaughter

Wild horse advocates accuse a rancher of stealing horses off the range and sending them to slaughter in Mexico and Canada. The rancher says he hasn’t broken any laws.

I am Jane Doe - 1

The band played downstairs
friends of friends of my ex
who moved out two weeks ago
still on good terms, I thought,
small party, for a three story house
ten people, their ten closest friends
I went to bed early, morning exams
double locked door, spread
in what passed for pj's,
Body warm, sleep consumed
meat on the mattress.
I forgot that night, my balcony
shared with my housemate,
the one with the pretty girlfriend
out of town visiting her family,
I forgot that night to check the latch.

A not-so-long-ago quarrel and the fact that @thebrokenspine.co.uk is looking for #PoemsAbout #Rot made me write an experimental #haibun. Happy Friday! Cheers!

Rot in Hell

Through the glassiness of suburban stars, I stretch out my hand to tuck them in. With each one, the root of red bleeds as if the devil's a painter. I splay my fingers like paintbrush bristles and sway them across the horizon. They tickle the gates. Suddenly, I become the black ink of the galactic canvas amid the last traces of fiery red. At once, I can hear the shouts of my family and the screams of the doomed.

bathroom mirror —
mouthing the insult
I left unsaid

#NationalPoetryDay Still quite proud of this one. It was displayed outside the Royal Society of Geography :) 🌠🌌🪐

A
pencil
lead, if you
zoom in on it
with a microscope
is first a dark expanse,
but each magnification
reveals candescent clusters:
galaxy filament in graphite -
Let my pencil leave gauzy
comet tails in its wake,
nebula of dreams
across the stark
cosmos of
empty
page

A quick poem written on the theme of #Wonder for #NationalPoetryDay

A poem written by Francesca L Rolle:
I will pluck a star from the sky,
To drop into one of your eyes,
So that you can see the world in two halves,
One through a lens of starlight,
And the other,
Through the sun,
So that you will never be afraid of the dark,
And you will always follow the wonder of the rising dawn.

The newest issue of Epistemic Literary ( @epistemiclit.bsky.social ) is available now! It includes my poem “Highline” among a lot of other wonderful pieces, which you can read at the link below: epistemiclit.com/current-issue

Highline
I don’t know how to answer
Your questions about God
Or the meaning of it all
But I can say
That my muscles ache
And sweat stings my eyes
As I walk
this dirt path
Between wildflowers and pine
Yes…
I could proclaim the miracle
Of a cool breeze
Caressing my cheek
Beneath the sun’s relentless gaze
Or meditate
On the hymn of a ground squirrel
Sounding his barbaric yawp
Across alpine meadows
I could testify of burning lungs
That gulp for oxygen
Or the way a drop water
Soothes chapped lips
Like a loving mother
Kissing a fevered brow
I could stand at the edge
Of this rocky outcrop
And proclaim it all
To the glacial valleys below
But the trail goes on
And the hour is late
So, I place one foot
In front of the other
And continue on my way
