The importance of being scared – Polish Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska, born 100 years ago today, on fairy tales and the necessity of fear https://t.co/oUevG42QZo
Happy pride month! There is no human right more fundamental than the right to liberty, the freedom to live as one chooses. If you don't own your life and body completely, you can own nothing. You don't need to understand someone to let them live their life!

Kicking off #PrideMonth2023 with “Morning Love Poem,” the first intentional love poem I ever wrote. I’d woken from a dream in which I’d accidentally killed my girlfriend at the time by feeding her food she was allergic to, and I thought: I should try to write a love poem.
@KelliAgodon “We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe.”
—Rudyard Kipling
The only thing darker than running out of tea is breaking your kettle!
One of my favorite artists, @yashiro_nanaco released a Tarot set! I'm BEYOND ecstatic and have never "instabought" anything so fast in my life! 😅
