'Send me!' he says. He won't go. 'Send me!' he says, as he says this isn't a war. 'Send me!' he says, with his paunch out, and doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. 'Send me!' he says, begging someone else. 'Send me!' says the man on board with the end of the world.

I hear the hollowness of music produced by the machine as it appeals to our nature. I hear where it misses the mark, like a child emulating the behavior of an adult and failing to understand why it's done. I read the empty words behind the romance, its discourse, the errant narration of reality.

Someone at work kept asking random people where his fresh-baked cookies were. Every one of 'em was baffled, 'cause this was the first they were hearing of it. My eavesdropping ass took note. Then I overheard him describing these imaginary cookies... My chaotic whimsy monster was activated.

So, I heard a while back about the rescuer dogs that were working ground zero after 9/11... How they got depressed as they recovered body after body, but few survivors. Their morale was so low, they had volunteers hide in the rubble to be found.

The two largest companies running for-profit ICE detention centers — GEO Group and CoreCivic — just reported a combined revenue of more than $1,400,000,000 in Q2 after signing more contracts with ICE. There should be no profit motive to put our community members in horrific detention conditions.

Hey Bluesky, a sale or two would be a big help, so if you're interested in my fabric art, I'd love for you to check out my shop. Each Jeremy Creature is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. You can learn more about each Creature at the shop. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of a bunch of my fabric art creatures.  They're sitting together with purple fleece on the background and green fur on the ground. Samantha Shadowseed is a fabric art watermelon. She's light green with wavy darker green stripes. She has a red face with seven bulbous black eyes and an open mouth with five sharp teeth. Phantasmorgana is a white ghost bag with a gray face, twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. Her body is covered with embroidered black flowers and red markings. The top of her head is a metal coin purse clasp. She's wearing a black, magnetic, fabric witch hat. Lapina is a fabric art bunny of sorts. She's black with a gray face, seven red eyes, a little open mouth with six pointy teeth. She has long black and gray ears, and two twirly tentacles. Her body is covered with hand-embroidered stars of various sizes and colors. There's also an embroidered red planet with a yellow ring and another purple planet. She's holding a yellow fabric egg. She's sitting on a metal pink wire chair.  Titania is a fabric art black cosmic spirit with a gray moon face, twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. Her body is covered with embroidered stars of various sizes and colors. I also embroidered a couple planets. One is yellow and one is purple with a red ring. She has black twirly head wispy embroidered with a line of white stars on each one. Bazletazle is a tiny black celestial spirit with a gray moon face and four black bulbous eyes. He's covered with stars of various colors. Those two are sitting on a green and pink striped chair. There are two black, cosmic spirits covered with various stars and planets of various sizes and colors. One of the cosmic spirits is a moon face with twinkly black eyes and a black frown. One of the cosmic guys is a sun face with twinkly red eyes and a red frown.

So, how many data centers do they need? When will they say they have enough of them and stop building them? How many books will they destroy to feed them? How much precious resources will it takes to keep them running? How long do we prioritize data centers over human life? To what end...?

So, they're mad at advice to tune air conditioning to 78°F. They're not mad that they're paying to cancel renewable energy projects that would decrease the need to rely on oil and coal. They're not mad that data centers are popping up everywhere, sucking electricity and water.

Imagine you had so much food in your house that, no matter have hard they tried, your family couldn't possibly eat it. Then, imagine what would happen if you continued to buy and hoard more food, filling cupboard after cupboard. You'd be considered mentally ill Why is this never applied to money?

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.
