The US could not have a president more harmful to US interests:
1. Trump insults NATO allies for no reasons, while never saying a negative word about Russia - his lodestar.
2. He lies all the time: The US under Biden gave Ukraine $130 bn, not $350 bn, Trump's standard lie. /1

Long days spent in silence. Languishing alone, surrounded by dust and fetid air. Choking on visions of yesterday and lost tomorrows. Laughter a cruel joke. Touch a thing of endless mystery and desire. Despair the weight to the dark depths where ghosts prowl hungry and cold. This now is somehow life.

A woman eats a yoghurt with only her tongue; on the street, a dog will not behave; the birds are screeching; everyone is prevaricating pale-leggedly in shorts; tomorrow is Beltane, and winter will bow down to summer.

our “hologram” or “holograph” is both a hardcore physics thing, but also just means: we see the outside. it’s both fancy and droll to me as a dilettante. but like i see the front of trees and not what’s behind a cloud. it’s like each side of this cleft is an abyss, a two-sided cleft in nothing

7 WAYS OF SMILING AT A BLACKBIRD

I know noble accents
Even the bawds of euphony
Of one of many circles.
Flying in a green light,
Are one.
