In California, if you want to change your name, you have to put an ad in the newspaper announcing your name change for a month... - Seems like they didn't want women to escape abusive husbands or stalkers... - Dangerous for trans people changing their names. Abolish this shit please.

😁 Happy Sunday to all 😁 This weeks #PoetsOfDoom is going arsey - #ArsPoetica that is! Pick your favourite poetic form and write a poem about it, in said form. Clear as mud, right? Don't worry, there's a link below and a couple of examples to help clarify! www.writersdigest.com/write-better...
On Acrostics 

A line must rise from the chosen word’s letter,  
Craft out its bones like a patient typesetter.
Rules of rhythm and clarity guide your pen,  
Organise thoughts so they brighten again.  
Showcase your thoughts, create and express,  
Take each line as your chance to impress. 
Inspiration flows when structure meets art,  
Clever acrostics reveal both form and heart.  Do Not Go Gently into a Villanelle
 
Do not go gently into a villanelle,
Its chains of rhyme bind tight the poet’s hand,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.
 
As lines repeat, their echoes cast a spell,
A stubborn form that bows to no command.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.
 
Resist the lure of freedom’s restless swell;
Each stanza’s shape must first be wisely planned,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.
 
The poet curses rules they know too well,
Twisting lines to meet a strict demand.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.
 
But when the pattern sings, a truth will swell,
A beauty forged from order, fierce and grand;
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.
 
Embrace the verse and let its cadence tell;
Yield to its grip and you will understand:
Do not go gently into a villanelle,
For in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

I personally cannot see any possible outcome to voting for a transphobe - no matter how milquetoast or "moderate" - than the continuous worsening of segregation and eventual capture of trans people more generally to be incarcerated in the camps You don't prevent that by making concessions

Yay it's #PoemsAbout day again. Here is my offering to @thebrokenspine.co.uk for #ExitWounds Have a good weekend everyone 😊 #Poetry #Home
Exit Wounds

We close the door on twelve years, 
on a house that learned our footsteps, 
moulded its walls around our living, 
and sheltered us through every storm.

Now it stands
hollow, 
echoing bedtime stories and laughter, 
whispered fears, 
the lives we lived inside it.

Scratches on the door jamb, 
each one a celebration 
of legs stretching longer.

The dent in the wall
where the sofa refused to turn the corner
still smiles at us,
a stubborn reminder 
the furniture remembers too.

Nail holes pockmark the plaster 
where photographs once clung. 
Faded squares linger,
where smiling toddlers
in floppy hats once watched us.

We leave behind the marks 
of having endured.

The house will heal. 
Paint will cover. 
New laughter will fill these rooms.
But these scars are ours.

We walk away knowing 
a home is never just bricks. 
It is every wound we made, 
and every wound we mended, 
inside its walls.

Meta is being rather obvious about their allegiance to authoritarian structures while also trying to claim their products are a cool and fun way for people to enjoy their freedoms. These two things are not compatible.

The inaction of European governments to Musk's repeated calls for violence are abhorrent. This by @laurenshof.online is a fantastic analysis of the complacency they demonstrate by continuing to use and platform X:
connectedplaces.online
FR#166 – No Change
Many people in Europe see the open social web as a path to digital sovereignty. This week demonstrated a problem: the assumption that European governments actually want to be sovereign.

🧵Sadly this is true. Look, many of you know that I'm not the biggest fan of DnD (that's improving because I have some friends working on it but *shrug*) but this bullshit is wild that they claim progressive values and still block unionization.
First person in a WotC shirt: "At Wizards of the Coast, we pride ourselves on being inclusive and progressive. We think it's important that all people are heard valued and supported"

Second person "Why are you discouraging your players from unionizing to empower themselves? I thought you were progressive"

First person: "Only when it's convenient"

the issue with honesty is that it leaves you vulnerable. when people really know how you feel, they can use it. the issue with deceit is that you forget what was true. in the end, the first one fooled, was you - then you lose it. #emoetry #vulnerable #poetry (1/2)

Today, I begin again. I'll do it tomorrow too, if I see it come. Beginner's mind doesn't forget pain It just doesn't compare it to pleasure And, if you would have a measure, That's a habit you should break. It just brings you heartache When every day is your new treasure. #poetry
