I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️
The image is a satirical illustration of the "two-party system," incorporating the "trolley problem" concept. It depicts a red trolley moving along a track made up of numerous people. Above the scene, a figure stands by a lever with a caption reading: "pulling the lever changes the color of the trolley from red to blue.”
The image features a four-panel meme using a popular "Star Wars" scene with added political symbols. 1. Top Left Panel: A person with a yellow hammer and sickle symbol on their face, associated with communism, says, "We need to get rid of rich people." 2. Top Right Panel: A different person with a rose and a handshake symbol on their face, often associated with socialism or social democracy, responds, "Peacefully, through the ballot box, right?" 3. Bottom Left Panel: The first person stares without responding, their face still marked by the communist symbol. 4. Bottom Right Panel: The second person repeats, "Through the ballot box, right?" with emphasis.

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year.
Meta got $13.7 BILLION.
Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND.
Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them.
We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

Funky embroidery on an old quilt piece. Margaret Atwood quote: “men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”
It’s all about the Patriarchy today, no matter the news. Everyone in the system loses something.

Streaming economics, algorithmic discovery, and generative AI are reshaping how music is distributed. Charlie Warzel and Stu Mackenzie discuss whether we’re seeing a normal technological shift—or a move to an era where music is treated as pure commodity.
Should be standard in every hospital. (Hope all is well!)
