“I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim or too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard travelling. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think that you've not got any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songbooks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow.” ― Woody Guthrie
no need
-
the church of long shadows
of trees upon trees
no need to fall to one's knees
here, no need
-
the muse is a crow
perched near me, in the pines
not a warning at all
but a blessing
all mine
-
no god but my own breath
as wide as the sky
my footfalls
my heartbeat
the light in my eyes

deep in the times of yore, beyond the scale of mortals there lived THE TAPEMASTER in their fortress atop MT BBULLS SHIHIT where they crafted MELODIC MESTERPIECES from their LABORATORY. Many arose to challenge THE TAPEMASTER and their many enemies drove them across THE SAHARA DESERT in pursuit of THE MACGUFFIN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY the end (or is it dun dun dun)

Sad mopey & laundry
All i could think of is you
for the entire day.
in a triple xl sweater donned
i layed the day away,
landing memes of personal mirth
to deadened silent space.
When you told me about the e
it woke me up from the dream.
bellowed shifting fog and a
tension within my being,
Tugging at the heart and in its contrast
tearing me apart
You ripped me out from that hidden space
With one subtle quiet gesture.
And now we live in the twilight
before the moving of the moon
as i will be leaving
very much too soon.
And all i can think of is
a desire to be fem
and to hug and hold hands
without remorse
With them.
But they had loves before
and though i was prospected once
i think with this, no more.
For though we know the hardship we face
Of living in this uncomfortable space,
perhaps we won't be surmounting
Together
For those of you who don’t know, I work at an anarchist co-op coffee shop.
Apparently, all the Chicano/Cholo boys in my neighborhood have caught on the the fact that I sneak food and stuff to all the little punk kids and homeless kids at the coffee shop.
There are three in particular who call me Mom. Not Mami, not Ma, Mom. The rest refer to me as “Miss”.
They’ve decided to always have one of the three of them there with me on my night shifts. (Especially after they witnessed the last bad shift where I had to kick a bunch of tweakers out. Said tweakers lit my fucking bulletin board on fire.)
Tonight, one of the boys actually charged up a crackhead who wouldn’t get out when I told him to leave.
About an hour later, I was emptying bus tubs when that same lovely boy walked in and wetted a wash rag. I asked what he was doing and he told me not to worry. So, I went about my business, doing dishes, bussing the main dining tables, etc.
I’d left a broom in the smoking room and a fresh trash bag in the bathroom for once I was done with the dishes.
When I walked out, everything was spotless and the trash had been replaced. He’d wiped all my tables, swept, mopped, and emptied all the ash trays.
He’d also picked the lock on the bathroom so his friend could take out the trash for me. (Which I’m not sure whether I should scold him for. Haha)
They snuck around and did my closing shift duties to thank me for keeping them warm and fed.
I’m fucking crying.
This is getting on my fucking nerves, so I’m just going to say it here:
Adults who need high levels of support in daily living are not children.
“Mental age” is a concept rooted in eugenics, and it doesn’t actually exist.
No one should be robbed of agency or dignity because of their need for support. Oh, also, while we’re at it (since disability rights activism that doesn’t tackle age-related oppression is bullshit), kids deserve to be treated with respect too. Shouldn’t be a controversial statement, but it is.
Most people neglect to mention this, but if “being treated like a child” equates to “being robbed of agency and dignity,” there’s something fundamentally wrong with the way we treat children.
The way he stuffs them in his mouth 💀
sometimes a clown is in your house. sometimes not. depends.
any young punks, young anarchists perhaps, want to join me in the woods for some lovely nighttime tree climbing and weed smoking
body: you are dying of The Heat
me: [removes blanket]
body: never have you been So Frozen

“It begins to be clear why there are no societies based on barter. Such a society could only be one in which everybody was an inch away from everybody else’s throat; but nonetheless hovering there, poised to strike but never actually striking, forever.” - David Graeber, Debt: The First 5,000 Years, page 33

In case you need more evidence that the Trump administration fucking hates the working class, they are proposing a rule that would allow employers to pocket the tip money earned by servers at restaurants.

every fucking day i think of the fact that in the teletubbies show they had to use flemish giant rabbits to be the cute bunnies in the show bc flemish giant rabbits are so fucking big
that any other rabbit breed would look puny next to the teletubby suits.
nothing prompted this
