Mary Oliver for your Saturday:

so excited for the second worst month of the year (january) to end. now it’s time for the worst month of the year (february)

People love saying “if you do nothing wrong you have nothing to hide” while ignoring that things feeding the poor, organizing a union, and trying to stop cops from killing people are usually consider doing something wrong by the powers that be.

the appalachian mountains are older than saturn’s rings. the appalachian mountains are older than dinosaurs. the appalachian mountains are older than trees. the appalachian mountains are literally older than BONES. the appalachian mountains should be regarded with pure terror.

when you get sent tiktoks to watch it’s like friend homework

If you ever wonder why people talk so much about defunding the military and police, it’s because we spend a trillion on one and $200 billion in the other, so the exact money that could go to stopping collapse is going to war and repressing us when we get pissed about collapse.

Seeing the push for 100,000 new cops right after a teenager is killed by law enforcement for playing with a water gun in the heat is a tragic but accurate summary of how our government is responding to climate change and societal collapse: more policing.

Washington elites who claim to oppose Kavanaugh but clutch their pearls over protests love to say it's counterproductive when really they just identify more with him & his fellow Morton's patrons than with people whose lives are on the line.

When the government outlaws what morality demands of us, each of us must make a choice as to whether we will be law abiding citizens or whether we will be ethical human beings.
