striving after words
that used to flow like blood
in my veins
unasked-for
but ever thankful
when they came upon me

now i look for ways to knit them
back together
to tell the story
of how it was
waking from a sleep
that would have killed me
in another day

once I woke briefly /1

Just so you know, this is Project 2025s pick to replace PP - also, I'm just going to remind Canadians every day that this man is in the pocket of JD Vance and is a danger to our Country

@ML3democrats Over Trump? In a nanosecond. To be totally frank, though, Zelenskyy's greatest achievement hasn't been a contribution to world peace. His greatest achievement has been keeping the Ukraine & its people together in the face of a far larger, if more poorly organized, enemy.

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

Good fuck, my family has been here for 8 generations on one side & 7 on the other (not counting my toddler nephew), & it's for that exact reason that I *carry* the damn settlers' guilt. My direct ancestors did this awful shit to Indigenous people & I have to live with that.

[Drew Hayden Taylor @TheDHTaylor]

Occasionally I'll run into someone who says defiantly, "I am not a colonizer. I am not a settler. My family has been here for three hundred years."
I point out there is a 300 year old tree in my backyard, on the Rez, its riddled with insects and about to fall over.

Somewhere between 8-9.9, depending whether he was having a good day or a terrible, no-good, awful, very bad day.
I would give much to see Newsom go up against Trump in a debate. It would be such delicious Schadenfreude - only there'd be nothing "Schade" about it.

[Rich From CA @therichfromca]

On a scale of 1-10 how much would Gavin Newsom destroy Trump in a debate! 💯

@LinosVersion 3) Other
"Idiot" is far too mild a term for his particular blend of sexism, absence of intellectual capacity, malice couched in religious claptrap that seems designed to make the baby Jesus cry, & his cowardice, exemplified by the way he goes after Trump's "enemies" on command.

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@Devils_Tooth Yeah it's pretty hard to abuse a goldfish but this manages it.

What happens when you drive the damn car around for a few hours in the summer? For that matter, what happens when you park the car outside for a few hours in say, Chicago, in January?

Immigrants are not “illegals”

US cities shouldn’t be battle zones

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism

Disabled people shouldn’t have to prove they matter to access healthcare

Homeless people should be housed, not institutionalized

Trans people deserve human rights

Fascism is wrong

@gator_gum especially in how comments on a tweet are ranked. Over & over I see comments on a tweet pushed to the top of the pile when they agree with Elon's views, though comments that disagree with those views have far more likes. It cuts across whether the accounts are free or paid, too.

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@gator_gum Yes, I have, although it's not all "lately". Before Elon bought Twitter, the algorithm was pretty straightforward. Tweets popped up based on who you followed, first, & stuff you liked or responded to second. Comments ranked themselves by number of likes. I've noticed changes /1

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@ML3democrats Jesus fuck, yes!

Johnson is dominated by his terror. He protects Trump to keep himself safe in the short term, though it's obvious Trump's unpopular regime will collapse before it's established long-term. When he's held accountable, his gutless begging will be a thing to behold.

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@Carlynotcarley I showed this pic to my partner, whose immediate reaction was: "Diagnosis - ouch!🙄" It's like that old saw, "Hey doctor, it hurts when I do x." "Don't do x then." "But doctor, I need to breathe!"
Like, you can identify your own symptoms. You need the doctor to ID a root cause!

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@MECFScomrade Hey, Twitter is for venting. Also, while your aunt sounds like a solid lady, that doesn't mean the rest of your family is equally so. Also also, you get points in my book for admitting here that you haven't always been 100% just to your entire family. Honesty matters a lot.

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@broadwaybabyto Planned obsolescence is a nightmare waiting to happen, especially if you're on a fixed income. Often one ends up with a chunk of money & spends much of it on replacing the stuff that's in worst shape (or has had to be tossed), & then the new stuff dies all at once. It sucks ass.

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@MMydw60280 ...🙌

@andreasereda 🤚
I've been screaming into a void since 9/11. I knew it was the beginning of the end if we didn't recognize that our society had just become the boiling frog. I've been trying to make people aware that there's no "them" ever since.
I must've failed. Why else are my friends dead?

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@mupsula @johnnyransom007 @LordOrk @hotnostril he might really have starved to death in 9 days. It wouldn't happen to me, especially if I didn't move much; I store fat reserves & lose weight slowly. This guy was recovering from surgery, which takes extra energy. 9 days might have done it. Not everyone's body works like yours.

[Meg Inwood @InwoodMeg]

@mupsula @johnnyransom007 @LordOrk @hotnostril My point is that people have wildly differing ratios of adipose tissue to muscle tissue. Some people, no matter how well they eat, simply can't gain fat or build muscle bulk - the best they can do is gain muscle *density*, with enough exercise.
If the man had that body type /1

@MaryValent24512 @EdKrassen Harvey Weinstein was a lifelong Democrat, just as an example.
I'm sorry if discovering the fact that Christian conservative Meg are more likely than other demographics to be sex offenders is a shock to you.
