Molly Fisk, from How To Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope (2021) ed. James Crews, "Against Panic"
[Text ID: You recall those times, I know you do, when the sun / lifted its weight over a small rise to warm your face, / when a parched day finally broke open, real rain / sluicing down the sidewalk, rattling city maples / and you so sure the end was here, life a house of cards / tipped over, falling, hope's last breath extinguished / in a bitter wind. Oh friend, search your memory again — / beauty and relief are still there, only sleeping.]

Wanna help a poor 23 year old and her young child?
R is 23 years old and has a young child with her abusive ex, who is not kind to the child either.
R can only get her half of her kid’s time when she can drive to do pick ups and drop offs.
She works, but she has very little money left over after making rent. She has no living parents and her siblings live well below the poverty line.
She needs to raise $1877 more to get a functional used car.
R’s kiddo’s spring break starts in a week, March 24th. The kid is supposed to be with R for all of spring break, but unless R can get the funds, R’s abusive ex will have the kid the whole time and that would be really hard on both R and the child.
If not even 10% of my followers contributed one dollar each, R could get a car and parent her child again.
Please, can any financially secure adults help? If you can’t contribute, would you be willing to share around R’s gfm and/or this post?
Every penny helps.

she also has these other links:

I’ve known R since she was a baby and she’s very important to me. She’s been through a lot and has been trying her best through some very very difficult circumstances. Please, can anyone help her and her child?

when will people realize. when will people fucking realize that there's more to fucking RAMCOA than the satanic panic bullshit.
cults count as RAMCOA.
trafficking humans of any kind is RAMCOA.
gangs and cartels can absolutely inflict RAMCOA.
there is so much more to RAMCOA then the youtube video essays about the satanic panic. RAMCOA is a spectrum of experiences. it's not some mythical shit you only see in gratuitous horror movies. it's real and it happens every fucking day.

I'm not sure how many people truly recognize this, but the United States is only truly prepared for war, both in our land and on land foreign to us. We aren't equipped to help our citizens when all of our energy goes toward hypermilitarization and state-enfored violence. Frankly, as long as we have war mongering, the people will never be prioritized. If there is no war, it will be manufactured.

reaffirming my love for richard siken bc i like it when poets are weird online. admitting u wrote supernatural fanfiction is the closest we’ll get in the modern era to "mad, bad, and dangerous to know"

U guys know u only get 'concert amnesia' if you're obsessed with filming the entire thing
Source: I've only done that once and I'm still fuming cause I don't remember any of it but I remember every second of every other concert I've been to even my first one 8 years ago even ones where I've been super far away from the stage even the one I had a panic attack halfway through like the only concert I don't remember is the one i was obsessively trying to film all of so anyway in conclusion just. Care less about filming the whole thing and u will have a better time and remember it better later
