Isn't It Atomic?

"Gaza Ghazal

What milk    what honey you were promised gall    in Zion
Kiss the weeping wall’s cheek    love    sows salt in Zion

It’s the recurring dream    of all    who throw down roots here
You’re holding a shovel    amid a thousand    falling Zions

When you finish digging    kneel in the red dust
God’s lost name    graffities the walls    in Zion

By the rivers of Babylon    we sat and wept
Today we stand up tall    and bawl and bawl in Zion

Will you beckon us to prayer    or to arms
When you’re granted your one phone call    in Zion

You shouldn’t need a map    to show you where to build
Look for the confluence    of three fault lines    Zion

Absolute truth    switches    two blocks west of this apartment
More than one thing is true    more than one thing false    in Zion

Amit means Limitless in Sanskrit    and in Hebrew    Friend
You will find a home yet    if not here    then inshallah    Zion"

--Amit Majmudar in America Magazine

"It became clear to me that a lot of the trans-exclusionary feminists didn’t realise where their discourse was coming from."

"19th century linguists must have sperged out when they discovered the regularity of sound change, cause of all the cool stuff it lets us do. For example: we can show that if Old English had the same word as Norse Ragnarök, it would be *Reġnaracu. Which today would be *Rainrake.

Next time something frustrating happens, instead of ‘darn it!’, all of you are invited to say ‘Rainrake take me!’ " --@wylfcen
