Is it a God inside you, girl?

Still the same rough winds, the wild passion raging through her. 27.

REMAIN BRAVE.

skate flat stones across the river.

make my home a sanctuary, a shelter, a welcome resting place.

learn the first names and favorite foods of neighbors.

keep the windows open as long as warmth allows.

ask myself: will it make a good memory?

earlier mornings, longer walks.

remember I am not without my own seasons.

write recipes on paper. print photos out for framing. seek the tangible, the homemade.

speak out about harm when I see it done. leave room for learning, but never complacency.

one long summer drive to myself. an overnight somewhere new if possible.

let the candles burn through winter.

joy is not made to be a crumb, but a feast. arrive fork and knife in hand.

BE HOPEFUL, BUT ALSO IN ACTION.

I LOVE everything Kimberly Johnson writes; ditto for Mary Szybist. And recently I've been obsessing over Meghan O'Rourke's Halflife. My local used bookstore got a copy of Marie Howe's What the Living Do, so I'm enjoying that now.

Taking notes to add to my tbr list! 😍

I suddenly got sad about having no one to discuss poetry with.

What poems or poetry collections have you been obsessing over? What is your all-time favourite? I want to knowww

"stop commenting on actress's bodies" nah actually I think I will continue to comment on the fact that since the rise of ozempic every second actress looks like she's about to blow away in a strong wind because I lived through heroin chic and normalised eating disorders and insane body expectations the FIRST fucking time and saw the damage it did so I'm personally not going to stay silent and let choice feminism make extreme weight loss "acceptable" just because tiktok has convinced some of yall that any choice a woman makes is Valid just because she's a fucking woman like are you all fucking serious right now

[bambicest]

and I actually think we SHOULD be shaming these women like we should be calling them out for undoing 2+ decades of body positivity all so they can prance around with giant heads and skeletal wrists and visible ribs and I actually don't give a fuck about it being their "choice" because while they have the money and access to lose weight with a medication that wasn't fucking made for them (and then say oh no it's just a healthy diet and exercise tee hee 🤭), the 12 or 13 year old girls seeing them and thinking that's how they should look are going to use the only methods at their disposals to look like that and it is going to KILL THEM and I dont give a FUCK if it hurts some rich cunt's feelings or makes me a bad feminist if I say she's an irresponsible piece of shit for promoting such an extreme and unhealthy body image for the millions of young girls growing up on a new wave of insane body dysmorphia I don't give a FUCK!!!!!!!

don’t write me a letter ’cause I’ll always be right here, closer to you than your next breath my dear. btw if you even care

[grabs your shirt] listen. listen to me. the practical is holy. the everyday is sacred. the simple act of surviving is divine. do you get it? sanctity begins at home, in the hands that build and the lives we live and the deaths we die and the worms that eat our bodies. if making something by hand is not worthy of veneration then nothing is.
