The problem with chronic pain is my soul is dancing at the @themountaingoats.bsky.social concert in Buff next week but my body laughs bc it can't even handle standing thru the opening act, let alone dancing joyfully with abandon. I wish so much I could be there, but in my heart I am a wild creature

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.
