There are two lessons in this poem by Heaney - listen to your wife & admit when you are wrong & no better way than by writing her a sonnet I love the comparison to the biblical miracle I wonder did owner of the house like his skylight as much as Heaney? #poetry #poemoftheday #seamusheaneysunday

True.

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Good morning, beloved. Passion speaks loudly, but integrity has the final word. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills

This lawless administration is now operating under the “what are you gonna do about it” doctrine. A John Roberts creation.

So… here’s the thing… When a government (that is actually supposed to serve you) can murder you and then just like… lie about it??? You’re in hell. “Hell” is not about eternal conscious torment. It is about evil normalized. Mayhem for the soul.

Hell is not about eternal conscious torment. It is visited upon us and our neighbors daily. And there is deliverance from these hellscapes. Today is the day of salvation. Rest in peace, Renee Good. Repent and believe. #TheologizinBigger

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Feeling empty chinned. Got myself all shaved up for Movember and despite repeated attempts no way of plugging into account. Go support Movember, folks, I'm sure there's someone else who is looking for support. I'm back on the beard growing route 🤔😊

Care for us? True indeed! They ne’er car’d for us yet. Suffer us to famish, and their store-houses cramm’d with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act establish’d against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor.
