I have posted a good amount about poetry before so Iāll just leave a recent favorite
āI was barely six years old when I saw the snake, probably younger than the snake. It was startled and moved in a flash to the middle of the road as I trimmed the grass. To this day I remember how it panicked, and for the first time I understood the meaning of fate: life began, life frightened me. As my sickle knife slowly became rusted, the snake shed itās skin, a dry-out shell with the old markings on, which scared me and sent me fleeing, temporarily losing my dignity. Now, I already amass enough venom, but am still afraid. If the snake comes hissing at me with its long, forked tongue, I still wouldnāt know what to do.ā

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERāS DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. š„³
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you donāt have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOās page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereās always more power in a union!! āš„š¹
