Samurai used to write death poems before duels and I think this is a tradition we should adopt. You want to fight me, bro? First write a technically proficient poem about the fragility of an honorable life then catch me in the Chili's parking lot.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this. Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

This Speaker vote should remind all of us that literally nothing Republicans try to do will be easy, or a foregone conclusion. And often, they are going to have to come to Democrats to enact anything at all. We have lost power but we are not powerless.

I count, this first day of another year, what remains. —Jane Hirshfield
Counting, This New Year’s Morning, What Powers Yet Remain To Me
by Jane Hirshfield

The world asks, as it asks daily: 
And what can you make, can you do, to change my deep-broken, fractured?

I count, this first day of another year, what remains. 
I have a mountain, a kitchen, two hands. 

Can admire with two eyes the mountain, 
actual, recalcitrant, shuffling its pebbles, sheltering foxes and beetles.

Can make black-eyed peas and collards.
Can make, from last year’s late-ripening persimmons, a pudding.

Can climb a stepladder, change the bulb in a track light.

For four years, I woke each day first to the mountain, 
then to the question.

The feet of the new sufferings followed the feet of the old, 
and still they surprised.

I brought salt, brought oil, to the question. Brought sweet tea, 
brought postcards and stamps. For four years, each day, something.

Stone did not become apple. War did not become peace. 
Yet joy still stays joy. Sequins stay sequins. Words still bespangle, bewilder. 

Today, I woke without answer. 

The day answers, unpockets a thought from a friend

don’t despair of this falling world, not yet

didn’t it give you the asking

Seeing this in the grocery store checkout line with the tabloids feels a little on the nose
A stack of magazines titled "American Ruins" in bright red, all-caps font waits to be purchased in a grocery check-out lane rack. A water tower is pictured: "SLOSS". It's the name of a town or company but the word "loss" nestled inside it enhances the despair in the magazine's title.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react. We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

You know it doesn't necessarily have to "get worse before it gets better." That's just some shit people told you often enough and long enought that you uncritically took it for true. We could just work to be better.

Yes, there are things we must do to fight. If you are able, I encourage you to do so. But think, too, about how you can offer care to someone who needs it. Even if it is something small, unheroic, that only you and they will ever know. It matters. And they won’t forget.

I hope this isn’t too obnoxious but something I beg of us all is to not let Bluesky become what Twitter became. I say this to myself too, because I haven’t always done so: don’t engage, don’t dunk, don’t mute, just block and live your life. When you ignore these people, they eat each other alive.

just gonna share this from James Baldwin because it's precisely WHY people share poems
you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. it was dostoevsky and dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me the most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive. only if we face these open wounds in ourselves can we understand them in other people.

Some public libraries have seeds in their collection. You "borrow" a seed, plant it, harvest it, and "return" the harvested seed to the library. See also: plant swaps, seed swaps, gardening classes/clubs/books at the library and other community centers & organizations.
