Don't flail. don't fail. Don't wail, just whale.

If you're spouting, there's no doubting
and no two-ways-abouting,

so, I am (lower case) shouting,

if you can afford to, and are wont,
you might cough up coin, or don't.

But so far, for me, I wish to be
encouraging Mister BZ's company.

Forbes
Covid-19 deaths worldwide are at 6.86 million. This is likely an underestimate, given the underreporting of fatalities... More importantly, based on excess mortality calculations there’s mounting evidence that the Covid-19 pandemic has taken a massive toll on global life expectancy.

Interesting piece. Hopefully this will be another thing that Jack Smith is able to nail Trump with.

In Fall, trees took in
that long, slow, deep
breath thru every stoma
and held it in the heartwood,
as it hardened into ice.
Storms of sleet and falling flakes,
winds bearding white
the bark, yet bark waited
for thawing songs of
nesting birds to sing,
O green exhalation of Spring!

The Three Oddest Words

When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.

When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.

When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no non-being can hold.

We don't live for love alone
but love lives in us.
Perhaps, we're only here as hosts,
so love lives on when
those we love are ghosts.

Watergate prosecutor can’t understand why Trump wasn’t indicted the moment he left the White House. "Because he was named in the indictment of Michael Cohen, as the 'Person Number One.' It was said that the crime was committed for the benefit of 'Person Number One.' And that was clearly him."

I love it that just as #GQP start complaining about how prejudiced and racist #biden is AGAINST White Men because he's not nominated many, Joe turns around and nominates Julie Su, an Asian Woman, as Secretary of Labor to replace a white guy.

We always feel younger than we are.
I carry inside myself my earlier faces,
as a tree contains its rings.
The sum of them is me.
The mirror sees only my latest face,
while I know all my previous ones.”

Kinder, Küche, Kirche, or the 3 Ks, is a German slogan translated as "children, kitchen, church" used under the German Empire to describe a woman's role in society. It doesn't sound too different than the #GQP 's plans for the American Empire.

Tornado sirens wail ,
while the TV says to
head to the basement.
I sit at the bottom
of the basement steps,
listening to the news.
This would be the last place
I would choose to die.
Not that anywhere would
be good. Again the siren wails
off and on for half an hour.
Finally. the all clear

Scientists speak of something called the "shifting baseline." The #phenomenon whereby each succeeding generation sees "#nominal" differently. We are adjusting from when earthlings had a few weather disasters a year to a time when - #EXTREMEisthenewNORMAL !

Not just #BoyScouts , the #Scouts are no longer gender specific. It was very hard for the men and boys when my #granddaughter won her heat by 4 car-lengths but she was elated. i tried to post the video but it looks like @Spoutible won't accept the iPhone .mov format.

MTG is a self identified Christian Nationalist. This is a frightening American movement that needs to be followed closely. It’s decidedly un-Christian if you know what Jesus taught.
