Screaming

[lifeinpoetry]

Depression has no vanishing point. Instead it spreads out, until the horizon itself is defined by fog. You touch yourself but not even an ache, or a pulse arises. You not only feel nothing; you’ve become nothing. Sensationless, mouthless. Your ear buzzing with flies.

— Anita Olivia Koester, from “Venus is Mummified,” published in Connotation Press

Some days I want to sit in my sadness      like a parked car, engine still

hot but breathing, waiting for      a song to end. But some never

do.

Feeling really anxious

Any time I think about getting up and wearing clothes, I feel anxious about how they will fit, if I will look good in them. And i know I wont because most of my clothes that used to be loose are now tight or snug.

Any time I think about doing physical exercise, I feel anxious. Its crippling. I have been laying here in bed for ages. Thinking to mgself, just get up. Just get the fuck up and get a move in.

But I feel plastered to the bed. Getrinng up feels like a superhuman task.

I wanted to go to a social justice event today. I wanted to show up... but the fact is that I am so mentally weak that getting up and getting myself out the door feels impossible.

I need help.

Antigua blues

I feel like I found something of myself that I had lost a century ago.

The curiosity of learning, exploring, loving.. without expectations.

Control of my own future, outside of the dictations of societal regimen.

Reminders of the mental fortitude I already have inside me, to make positive choices for myself.

[colemckenzies]

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

[ggiornojo]

as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk

example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night

[colemckenzies]

#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled

[animatedamerican]

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).

[nentuaby]

Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.

[animatedamerican]

… huh.  I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.

I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.

[thepioden]

Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.

“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

Feature

[lifeinpoetry]

I beg, but what enters is grief, tall as a shadow.  I use it like I use your name, the myth of you—

like a line or a mule, like the raft I’ve made from this lover’s back, to cross over. We are citizens of the countries we imagine.  We make our homes in the dark.

— Nico Amador, from “Elegy for Two,” Flower Wars

Delivering the inaugural lecture at the three-day Sam Moyo Memorial Conference on “Land and Labour Questions in the Global South”, Utsa Patnaik said that the estimated drain from India to Britain over the period from 1765 to 1938 was a whopping 9.184 trillion pounds, several times the size of the UK’s GDP today.

Patnaik, who is Professor Emerita at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning (CESP), JNU, said that the policies followed by Britain during its colonial rule in India were so disastrous that per capita food grains availability in India declined drastically from 197.3 kg per year in 1909-14 to 136.8 kg per year in 1946.
