Aww w'il white boy 's back in his garage.

Are your emotions so big you want to let out a little scream?

You can't express yourself without being the little jester

Dance, dance for us you're such a grown boy

Play your own guitar's, write your own words

Scribbled with hate and rage

Nostalgic for your pubescent age

"Get out of this suburb",

maybe "this town",

Was it "this life"?

Your "ignorance"

This "rollercoaster"

Unburdened by turmoil,

Unsteady, overwhelmed,

Caught in the churn

Barebacking the ride

Jesters got to play the role

A marionette for our youth

Vaseline on the minds eye

To dilute the truth

Teenage angst is misunderstood

Under-slept and over-punished

Regimented and scripted

Judged, sentenced and found haunting

A spirit reflected in their abuse of control

To lose oneself before you've come to be

Freethinking, developed and aware.

CHARMED (1998-2006) Dream Sorcerer

I haven't been able to stop tearing up about Artemis II. How beautiful is this planet, this galaxy, this whole space? How beautiful is creation? How beautiful is it to see humans gather and celebrate science/STEM? To break records for mankind in being the farthest distance from Earth recorded?

Reid Wiseman, the commander of Artemis II, lost his wife Carroll in 2020 after a 5 year long breast cancer battle. But Carroll and their two daughters encouraged Reid to continue following his dreams of being an astronaut. Today, as they went around the moon, they announced one of the brightest moon craters to be named Carroll.

“It's a bright spot on the Moon. And we would like to call it Carroll."

What a day to be alive, to be human, to be part of this creation we call life.

(Image is astrophotographer Ildar Ibatullin colors are exaggerated to show the landscape and minerals of the moon. Thank you Artemis II crew and NASA, and everyone past and current, who has been able to give us this.)

Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)

I've said it before but this is both the Icelandic and the Irish approach:

Of course we're modern educated people who don't believe in fairies

But we're also not gonna fuck with 'em, we're not idiots

very scared when Metro Man responded
