Here it is, my heart
bloody as a pomegranate,
this offering,
this choice,
messy and indelicate—
how will you measure it?
Perhaps start with kisses,
then hands—
fingers can tell you
miraculous things.
I know what I’m saying,
and what I want,
how curiosity
lingers like a fire
in my bones,
and the truth is
I think you’re beautiful,
and I can barely keep it
to myself—
I’m sorry,
I never learned
to tell my heart no.

The bad news is that I’m absolutely beat and there’s still one day till the weekend.
Another bad news is that this Sunday we have parliamentary elections in Poland and it can either go very well or very bad and the uncertainty is killing me.
The good news is the next chapter of ‘Deadlines & Commitments’ is almost done and should be out tomorrow night or Saturday.
So… yay?

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

For When the Ghosts Come Back
The fear lands, thin as a gossamer web,
a nightmare of old things, stitched
together with unsteady hands:
what if you’re wrong?
what if the wolves are
here again?
I take a breath,
I remember my own name,
I pull the roots
out of my bones, one by one
by one—
I remember the word love
and how it sings,
and how it feels,
and how it grows—
plant this instead.
Softly, I look in your direction,
wondering if you understand,
knowing there are different kinds
of naked—
and I would, to you,
offer them all.

With Kamala/Walz going up DAILY, I've seen more people talking about voting third party/Jill Stein (EW) and I believe the above screencaps from @three--rings can explain WHY Third Party votes NEVER work NOR is this the election to screw around in.
Everyone....like she says above.....PLEASE LEARN FROM HISTORY!!!
(Because if Trump gets in, he's NEVER LEAVING).

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.
there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.
a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.
please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
