Stand in morning light, stand for teachers, for firemen, for tax collectors, for those least loved, formed in the holy image, the different, crooked, neurodivergent, gender unsure, scared, all of us imperfect creatures. Congress in streets, speak for the laws that set us free.

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

Just encountered Mary Sidney's translation of Psalm 52: Tyrant, why swell’st thou thus,  Of mischief vaunting? Since help from God to us  Is never wanting. Lewd lies thy tongue contrives,  Loud lies it soundeth; Sharper than sharpest knives  With lies it woundeth. ... w/t Poetry For All podcast.
