"Ajena names the space between self and other, that moment of alterity—a bathic river over which language builds tenuous bridges, sometimes in the name of empathy or aesthetics." A chaotic #translation of #Argentine #poet Alejandra Pizarnik by @tessacheek: https://t.co/N4PK5yLhTF

I don't know about you all, but God came to me last night and told me not to have sex with cishet men till #RoeVWade is secure.

-Today August (6) asks me to go fishing before sunset. On the way home he calmly says “dad I saw the zebras”
-Something tells me he actually thinks he saw them. So I do a U on Croom Road, pull into some guy’s driveway and…BAM. WILD MARYLAND ZEBRAS 🤣 🦓 🦓 @fox5dc @Robert7News

The symbolism of a billionaire-owned, for-profit space company launching astronauts high above the heads of thousands of people protesting state brutality and oppression amid a global pandemic and economic collapse should not be lost on anyone

Right now is the moment to decide if you are pro-peace or not.

The cheerleaders of war, removed from its true cost, will gladly convince you that up is down - just as they did in Iraq in ‘03.

But war does not establish peace.
War does not create security.
War endangers us all.
