I have posted a good amount about poetry before so I’ll just leave a recent favorite
“I 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 it’s 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 wouldn’t know what to do.”

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S 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. 🥳
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 don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
