I mostly support Washington someday growing up and having an income tax because all the people who claim they will leave if we ever did are the exact people I wish would fuck off out of here.

it's wild how republicans will be like "governing is bad, also elect me to govern you" and people do and they put their promise into practice and don't govern, run everything off a cliff, bankrupt everyone, light the world on fire, and after a while people forget about that and let them do it again

RIP Wendell Berry - posting this one on BlueSky because I think it needs to be celebrated just as much as his optimistic poems about nature.
Let Us Pledge
Let us pledge allegiance to the flag and to the national sacrifice areas for which it stands, garbage dumps and empty holes, sold out for a higher spire on the rich church, the safety of voyagers in golf carts, the better mood of the stock market. Let us feast today, though tomorrow we starve. Let us gorge upon the body of the Lord, consuming the earth for our greater joy in Heaven, that fair Vacationland. Let us wander forever in the labyrinths of our self-esteem.
Let us evolve forever toward the higher consciousness of the machine.
The spool of our engine-driven fate unwinds, our history now outspeeding thought, and the heart is a beatable tool.

I look at the world, at the forests and the mountains here, the sky, and it's all right, as it should be. But we aren't. People aren't. We're wrong. We do wrong. No animal does wrong. How could they? But we can, and we do. And we never stop.

One benefit of a simultaneous wildfire smoke and heatwave situation is that the smoke may slightly mitigate high temperatures. And one benefit of living in hell is that you get to write unique sentences like the one before this.
