excerpt of the poem BLESSING FOR MOLLY GRUE. by Elisheva Fox on a blurred blue background. The quote text: some of us know that / unicorns sang kaddish in eden for the lilth they knew, / unicorns swam through corpose-flecked floodwaters, / unicorns beat every bird to the olive tree and danced / with miriam beside the read sea.

The first piece in Issue 1, "blessing for molly grue." by @thefoxmother.bsky.social, is a melodic and haunting ode to unicorns, queerness, and collision 🦄

you always summon me for the best reasons.

OBSESSED.

amen.

don’t you dare.

Grateful to @rustandmoth.bsky.social for publishing this new poem. It's a difficult one—part of my new manuscript. This is one of a series of Alzheimer's sonnets that appear throughout the manuscript. XOXO.

sir, you are deeply missed in these moments.

the anarchist’s cookbook as ars poetica.

Republicans never pay a price. Flood relief to victims is on the back burner or probably dead because Trump called Abbott and said he wanted 5 districts, and Abbott asked if Trump wanted his dick shined and his balls rubbed too.

a rare personal manifestation on bluesky to say: YES. i love this for you, and i will ignore the implications regarding the current state of global affairs for my own mental well-being.

There is no version of the story in which collusion with white supremacy & dominant power is anything but a devil’s bargain for which you will pay … everything that matters

like your heart, soul, heritage, culture, tradition

CC: white Jews who haven’t figured this out yet.

Will Meet The Press ask random other white politicians to condemn Trump's antisemitic language this weekend? Or does that only apply to Mamdani?

lakini’s juice.

me, please!

📊The new Quinnipiac poll asked voters about antisemitism — and it turns out the more that a group believes antisemitism is a serious issue, the less likely they are to approve of how Trump is approaching it.

If you’re a senate dem, and due to personality or professional obligation you consider yourself friends or friendly with a Republican senators or congressman at what point do you go to them and ask what they’ll do if Secretary Eva Braun Barbie’s goons throw you in a cell.

Be on tv, be on social media, be at their press conferences, filibuster everything. Speak at rallies in blue cities and in deep red states. Stir good trouble. Make every single thing they want to do difficult, slow, and miserable.

Rafah, 5 June 2025. Haaretz

The complete eradication of Rafah - a city with a quarter of a million residents - should and will be remembered as a crime against humanity, amongst the worst modern urbicides

it - does. yes.

i shall take comfort in my sense of despair and abject terror, then.

This has been the thing missing from all anti-Trump commentary for a decade. He's a terrible economist, a terrible diplomat, & a terrible human being, but he succeeds because he excels at the only thing a dictator has to be good at--he provides a living, human embodiment of the spirit of the nation.

louder for the fools in the back, please.

Trump is less a philosemite than someone who loves money and assumed the Jews were the rich ones

you always swoop in to rescue me and i am very grateful.

someone tell me which olive oil is best, i have no more ability to make choices, it is may and i have small children and i am a high school teacher, i am lucky that i can still from sentences. @hels.bsky.social please advise? save me from myself?

just snorted cold brew up my nose.

Guys wait til people find out that religiously anti-Zionist Hasidic say “next year in Jerusalem” at their seders

YOU FEEL CORRECTLY.
