Their voices so loud
So crowded their stares
Each one of them proud
Cause everyone cares
They all want to know
How messed-up you feel
They won't let it go
It's too much to deal
#poem
All the dreams you grew out of
Go bury them outside your gate
All those really good answers
You thought of twenty minutes late
All the cool stuff you purchased
You never look at anyway
Or the games you could master
If someone taught you how to play

Achtung: Breaking-News-Situationen erleichtern das Verbreiten von Falschmeldungen - denn in emotionalen Ausnahmesituationen kann passieren, dass Menschen unhinterfragter aufwühlende, spektakuläre Behauptungen verbreiten
Es wäre angebracht nicht zur Ikonisierung beizutragen und zu kontextualisieren: In den USA gab es in den letzten Jahren einige Akte politischer Gewalt: Paul Pelosi, Gretchen Whitmer usw. Die Motive der Täter sind relevant, die Reaktionen der Politik auch.
Der Unterschied ist, dass für die Demokrat_innen jeder Akt politischer Gewalt schlimm und verurteilenswert ist und für die Trump-Fans nur jene gegen Trump.
One heartbreaking moment this year was inviting a friend for a family meal and having her in tears because nobody had done that for her in years. It was just a meal.
most people who are not trans women don’t seem to know how terrifyingly isolating it can be to be a trans woman.
it’s v possible to have nobody in your corner. at all. no family. no friends. no community. nobody to offer you a kind word or share a meal with you.
Not everyone you like is a friend
Not everything that hurts is the end
Not everyone around you is near
Don't take neglect for fear
Not everything you look at you see
Not everything that is needs to be
Not everyone who runs runs away
You choose who gets to stay
A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.*
Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.
I see the way he looks at you
You say that you're just friends
I'm sure that what you say is true
But that's not how it ends
I see your redirected gaze
And you might disagree
But in this crowded, noisy place
Your anchor isn't me
#poem
I'm not what you want
And how could you want me?
This question will haunt me
Until I dissolve
Just look where I'm at
Why would you look at me
But while you forget me
I'll grow and evolve
#poets
You hug your siblings and your pets
I'm not the one embraced
And while I'm riddled with regrets
I try to act unphased
Determined to enjoy what's here
I try to push away
My disappointment and my fear
Until another day
#poetry
I envy you for being lost
Unknowing who you are
I've known myself at much a cost
It didn't get me far
And if you ever find your way
I hope that you will know
It takes much more to be okay
Than knowing where to go

Bildhafte Vorstellung von jemandem, den man nicht aus dem Kopf bekommt und dessen Arme aus den eigenen Ohren am Kopf herunter und die Beine aus den Nasenlöchern baumeln.
i think it's really important that everyone understands that you, shitposter, reading this now: you have a much better understanding of what happens to people who do favors for donald trump than at least six elite-educated supreme court justices, and probably all nine of them.
Also I would have expected them to game this out a little further and realize this is putting a sword at your own neck. If Trump wins and you piss him off at any point for the rest of your life you're going to be arrested or worse and good luck drawing a distinction about official acts then
