much to consider

[greater-than-the-sword]

When you're a kid you just take trees for granted. Then when you get to be an adult you realize that a fully mature tree cannot be created in an amount of time that fits in a convenient landscaping timeframe for love nor money nor all the powers of science. Then you realize that people are very very very cavalier about chopping them down

the slow casual creep of misogyny back into every point of our lives both digital and physical is making me feel fucking insane

2010s feminism was extremely flawed and deserved to be criticized but do you remember when most people at least pretended to like women

Mary Oliver, "Flare"

[beingharsh]

No one has taken anything away – there is even a sweetness for me in being apart. I kiss you now across the many hundreds of miles that separate us.

I know: our gifts are unequal, which is why my voice is – quiet, for the first time. What can my untutored verse matter to you, a young Derzhavin?

For your terrible flight I give you blessing. Fly, then, young eagle! You have stared into the sun without blinking. Can my young gaze be too heavy for you?

No one has ever stared more tenderly or more fixedly after you… I kiss you – across hundreds of separating years.

"No one has taken anything away", Marina Tsvetaeva (trans. Elaine Feinstein), Bride of Ice
