For Meg - On the Might of Princes

10/12/12 reunion

this is for you, to hold you close, to keep you close to my heart, i’ll scream it until your ears bleed, you’ll always have a friend in me. im sorry that i split you open to keep warm between your arms hands heart and lungs but we’ll beat the clock black and blue blood red to never give this up and i’ll be right here to help you sleep (to help me sleep) to keep you alive (to keep me alive) against all demons. to find hope in a smile to keep holding tight forever when someone becomes everyone when somewhere becomes everywhere (where you are and where you want to be)

Absolutely stunning Ezo Spruce by Michael Hagedorn

A reminder of the difference between equally non-violent protests when the protestors are majority black and majority white in terms of the police.

And if you need a reminder of what happens when it’s non-violent Native Americans well…

Walking out in the nighttime springtime, needling my way home. I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago. I saw some old friends at her funeral. My steps keep splitting my grief through these solipsistic moods. I should call my parents when I think of them, I should tell my friends when I love them. Maybe I shoulda gone out a bit more when you guys were still in town. I got too caught up in my own shit, that’s how every outcome’s such a comedown.

Penjing (盆景) literally means “Tray scenery”, it is the ancient Chinese art of keeping miniature landscapes, trees or other plants

Just pulled my life savings out of #tdbank and moved to a local credit union due to their funding of the Dakota Access Pipeline and the forced removal of the Standing Rock Sioux.

The average person is finally realizing the magnitude of the situation that poor and marginalized communities have been fighting against for centuries. If you woke up on Wednesday, welcome. Do not let this be yet another thing you forget about in two weeks. You’re upset. You’re afraid. But if you aren’t willing to mobilize now, then get the fuck out of the way. Trump is just a symptom.

Attend protests, educate yourselves, listen to marginalized communities, divest, boycott, find causes you feel are important and fucking resist.

As I said before, you have a voice that is more powerful than the theatrical performance of pulling a lever every 4 years. Use it while you still can.

Waiting for a Trump supporter to do something stupid. Waiting for the neo Nazis who hang around South Street where I work. Waiting for someone to gay bash in front of me. I have no tolerance. Touch an oppressed person in front of me or god forbid you touch me, watch yourselves, I’m watching me and mine.

“there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock. people so tired mutilated either by love or no love. people just are not good to each other one on one. the rich are not good to the rich the poor are not good to the poor. we are afraid. our educational system tells us that we can all be big-ass winners. it hasn’t told us about the gutters or the suicides. or the terror of one person aching in one place alone untouched unspoken to watering a plant.”

― Charles Bukowski, Love is a Dog from Hell

They’re killing off Vine, so last chance to repost the best vine in existence.

Call to Action

Checking in at Standing Rock can’t hurt, but it’s ambiguous as to whether or not it’s actually doing anything. Close to 150 indigenous water protectors have already been arrested and money is needed to cover their bond and inevitable future arrests, in addition to costs for basic supplies. Here are direct things you can do in addition to your check-in:

1. Donate money, any amount, to the Standing Rock Sioux: https://lrinspire.com/…/supporting-the-battle-against-the-…/

2. Bleed the beast dry. If you have money in TD Bank, CitiGroup, and others (www.nodaplsolidarity.org/targets) withdraw ALL of your money and move it to a credit union. I am personally doing this. Tweets, statuses, sad face emojis, and hoping for a political savior will only do so much. Speak their language. Your dollar is the most powerful vote in your arsenal. Use it strategically.

3. Call President Obama 9-5 EST 202-456-1111 and demand that the federal government cancel the Dakota Access Pipeline project in all areas where it is being constructed. They did this with the Keystone XL, so they can cancel Dakota Access, too. Call every day, it’s quick.

4. Continue to raise awareness in every possible way. Do NOT let this fall into memory hole created by the 24 hour news cycle. Maintain resistance.
