To hear adages and rhythmic words." --@anthonyetherin.bsky.social

"News without action is just voyeurism and action without information creates a very easily manipulated public, so I was trying to bring the two together in one place."

in this
gloomiest world
blind cicadas pealing
taillights like burning carbuncles
lead me
past wrecked
curbs & shattered
sidewalks fenced off lanes
the words too are blocked from landing
their hent

"There are zero high-follower people from marginalized groups that I know personally where I haven't heard *at least* one story about a death threat that changed their day to day behavior..."

from "Testament of a Man Forbid" (1901)

"The rainbow reaches Asgard now no more;
Olympus stands untenanted; the dead
Have their serene abode in earth itself,
Our womb, our nurture, and our sepulchre.
Expel the sweet imaginings, profound
Humanities and golden legends, forms
Heroic, beauties, tripping shades, embalmed
Through hallowed ages in the fragrant hearts
And generous blood of men; the climbing thoughts
Whose roots ethereal grope among the stars,
Whose passion-flowers perfume eternity,
Weed out and tear, scatter and tread them down;
Dismantle and dilapidate high heaven!
It has been said: Ye must be born again.
I say to you: Men must be that they are."
