No, you apparently cannot do anything you want just because you're a celebrity. You can grab them by the pussy but it's going to cost you $83.3 million dollars.

Still no answer to this question: Who paid off Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club balance, his $200,000 credit card debt, and $1,200,000 mortgage, buying themselves a SCOTUS seat — and the 5th vote to overturn Roe v. Wade?

🍾🔵 The lead headline for every media outlet should be that Tom Keen, a Democrat, just FLIPPED Florida’s 35th State House District, which Ron DeSantis won by ELEVEN points in 2022. Democrats just keep making Republicans find out & kicking ass. This is huge & such great news.

In November, I'm going to vote for Hunter Biden's dad for four more years.

115000 total people voted last night. That's .03% of US population. !/2 pop to exclude youngsters and still only.06%of the population and 1/2 those voted for the orange little dictator. But of course this AM it is treated as the inevitable second coming. Put in perspective and VOTE.

Alive am I,
But dead I feel.
I feel as if
My limbs have been torn from my trunk,
And I feel as if
My thoughts have all sunk
Into oblivion.
Am I
As content as I can be?
Am I
As loved as I wish to be?
Oh, how hard it is
To know I'm free
When this,
My life,
Is drunk.
But dead I feel.

My limbs have been torn from my trunk,

Gray pictures
Of bleak pastures
Feed my arcane sadness
While bleeding heads
In bright orange sheds
Starve my inane madness.

I have wept a million tears--
More than a willow has--
And have savored the beauty
That lies in the heart
Of dolor.
I have witnessed many a woe--
More than Oedipus had--
And have flavored the spices
That despise warmth
In the air.

I lay myself here,
Dazed and doleful,
Awaiting the occurrence
Of a precious day.
Like rigor mortis,
Boredom sets in,
Leaving me paralyzed
Without a corporeal love.

I suddenly remembered these old poems again while I was listening to Beethoven piano sonatas, hit pause and started rummaging through my desk, FINALLY finding them, or some of them. I only remembered one of them. It was one that my teacher got published for me. Rereading it made me smirk. I was 13!

SLS StickFigure @SLS_StickFigureIs there an official Spoutible poetry hashtag? Or does #Spoutories double as that? I haven't written a poem in decades but it might be fun. In junior high my English teacher at the time forced me to & shockingly got a couple of them published! I wonder if I still have them in my desk?04:46 PM - Jan 15, 2024

I'll post it in the next few spouts. It will probably take 8-10 spouts. It was longer than I recalled. Keep in mind I was only 13-ish! Precocious and pretentious to the max! Also the silly title I gave it was rejected and not published. Was it because it was pretentious? Or some other reason? IDK.

If you think Donald Trump is great because he went to East Palestine & handed out expired Trump water bottles & cold Big Macs, wait until you find out he’s the one responsible for the train derailment in the 1st place because he rolled back all the regulations & safety measures.
