Tell me when you lose
your heart, how it turns
into a knife, how the stars
suddenly stop singing—
grief, with all its tendrils,
is so stark, so silent,
a wreckage of old languages,
words you no longer
recall,slipping away
like the shadow of a dream—
breathe, darling,
be brave,
begin again.

Our household made a decision to have a 45 minute reading party every night after dinner—has to be a book we haven't read, has to be for pleasure. We just sit in the same room & read. My mom comes over & the dog jumps up to sleep next to her. It's now the part of the day I most look forward to.

If it wasn’t already obvious that “Judeo-Christian” is a Christian term that means Christian, the Sabbath = Sunday is a bit of a tell.

We understand this correct? Project 2025 is not fringe on the right. It's just that everyone in the center and on the left doesn't pay attention to evangelicals cause y'all think they're funny and weird instead of wildly fucking dangerous. Project 2025 is dead serious and extremely popular.
