Thanksgiving (2019) by Rachel Long

In Episode 199, Rachel shares a poet recommended by a listener, Milo Rey!

Rachel: In fact, Rachel Long is actually a founder of a poetry collective called the Octavia Poetry Collective for Women of Colour. She talks a lot about the experience of being what she calls, like, both the invisible and also hyper visible.

[...] And so that poem kind of gets at that a little bit, of just this idea of like trying to exist in this space and be what somebody else wants you to be, you know? And I mean, obviously I don’t have that exact experience, but that experience of being with somebody that you feel is different than you, and trying to just keep everything unique about yourself, like, hidden.

This poem always manages to catch me off guard; it's title and opening lines seem to be guiding the reader towards a peaceful, and even tender, road. But suddenly, you finish reading it and realise that, without even noticing it, you'd been steered right to the edge of a cliff. It's such a quiet, heartbreaking poem.

If you’d like to hear more about the author's experience, you can do so here: In Relationship with the Orbeez, from 23:38 - 35:00

Sick beat, dude. Absolutely diseased beat, bro. That beat is a plague that will devour the Earth. None shall remain. (Whispering) None shall remain.

We’re seeing snow fall for the first time in our little community. Like, a lot of snow. These are not the false snows that we’ve experienced in the past. This snow is heavy and cold and ceaseless. It blocks the doorways and freezes the pipes. It makes the air hard to breathe.

Looks like next week it’s Boruto’s turn to laugh at Kawaki for not getting something on the first try. :p

Jon being named “Archivist” from the very start of the podcast’s transcript hits different now that I know he was preordained to end the world, even if the real reason behind it is because they needed to better distinguish between johnny and jon when writing
