i wish i had known

when i was a girl

that the patriarchy

meant following

white men's rules

fuck that shit

i would have joined the revolution sooner

let it begin

 Is it rules based order when one government says so or is that just more smoke being blown up my ass?

Today Justin Trudeau called on the morality police!! That's laughable and frankly, pathetic.

"Trudeau slaps new sanctions on Iran's 'morality police' as protests grip the country" (CBC headline)

Where were the morality police when women and girl's bodies were being dragged out of Canadian and Saudi Arabian rivers and ditches? Seriously, where were they?

How does our so called feminist prime minister square his thinking on which oppressed women he will support and which ones he will throw under the bus?

In case we want to check under our own hood, I'd like to remind the regime that sex trafficking is the fastest growing crime in Canada and although Indigenous people are 5% of the population, they are over 50% of the women and girls who are trafficked. The average age of a trafficked Indigenous girl is 13.

We, women and girls, will not stand for your hypocrisy any longer. We demand that you truly stand for women by smashing the patriarchal noose around our necks.

 the life of a monarch: 'whoa, fuck! (shakes her head) I used to be a worm and now i have wings!! yoda: yes padawan, you can fly" Monarch: 'Fuck me, really???' yoda 'yes padawan, trust in yourself'

and then the monarch flittered away against a blue sky filled with wonder.

 the gentle scent of sweet magnolia

makes room for the constant, repetitive, droning

yet somehow soothing squee of the cicadas

i recently watched a vietnam war movie

made in vietnam

and one of the soldiers kept a cicada in his pocket

to remind him of home

right up to the day he was blown to bits

i don't know what happened to the cicada

as much as i don't know what will happen to us

if we keep all this bullshit up.

 dearest warmongers

he who hath brought wrath

upon every shore

he who hath destroyed

the very souls

created in his own image

recreated

and destroyed again

make way

for the final runway

where beauty

truth

and consequence

abound

 The Knowledge Keepers

the ones whose small bones

end up in graveyards

where solitude prevails

the ones who carry water

the ones who light the fire

i am with you

 dear anti vaxxer,

eat shit and die

dear western governments, 

don't hoard vaccines

dear humans, 

take care of each other 

and make soup.
