SILK
Instead
of going out
on a limb,
dig far
into the roots
and hang out
with the worms.
Pretend
you are
a rotten-silk
almost annelid
with no head,
with five hearts
for the breaking.

Follow this thread for some #Grammys hot takes and 🔥 reaction gifs. Do we care that @theweeknd is boycotting or do we feel for him? Will Queen @Beyonce win 'em all? Is @bts_bighit going to be the best performance? Will we dance in our living rooms to @DUALIPA? 🤩 Let's go!
I got into an argument on a lawyer’s post last night. This morning I noticed I was blocked. A lawyer. Blocked and unfriended me. Because he disagreed with me. 🧐 #objection
Fellow white people: The ONLY thing you should be saying in response to these protests are “How can I help?” And you should be asking that question to your black community. Everyone else sit back down. #nojusticenopeace

@MoPOPSeattle Like all Bradbury I’ve read, it was a lovely and interesting read. He is ultimately a product of his time as we all are, and hearing the group’s thoughts about how the war informed the writing was really great. Definitely need a reread #MoPOPBookClub
@brookspeck @MoPOPSeattle His use of language is really amazing. There’s a part where they’re talking about him bowing low to the Earth while the sky stares at his back. Such a wonderful way of describing that dichotomy #MoPOPBookClub
@TheeMcMurray @MoPOPSeattle @eltonofficial That's what I was thinking. Also he doesn't ever want to put on his uniform or talk about it so I'm guessing he wouldn't be singing this...for a long, long time #mopopbookclub
@TheeMcMurray @MoPOPSeattle Yep this. As a big lover of science fiction, I've come to unfortunately expect these weak female characters - but subtle decisions like ripping out the flowers and choosing to not interact with her husband as much - that's some power move stuff for the 50's #mopopbookclub

@MoPOPSeattle @NASA A3: It's depicted in a way that is super distant/dreamlike. You have some of the planets of our solar system mentioned, no mention of alien life, and just some stuff about planet dust and minerals. Gave it kind of an eerie unknown vibe - probably what the fam felt #mopopbookclub
@MoPOPSeattle A2: I think he's showing that it's a difficult one to make. You can love travel and you can love having a place to come back to. But when the time between travel and home are so distant, that home is affected, what choice do you make? Makes me think of The Hurt Locker!
