if you quiver you do it

if you rage you do it
f you fear you do it
f you cry you do it
if you hesitate you do it
f you cringe you do it
if you wail you do it
if your gut tells you you do it
f you falter you do it
if you believe you do it
if you are fearless

you do it

 i've written and unwritten so much since october 7. so many thoughts and emotions. so much rage. never in my life have i felt more impotent, and in the face of broken systems, i have felt impotent many times. i am trying so hard to believe in a world where this madness ends and that the US, its allies and especially Israel will be seen and treated as the pariahs that they are. that's the only justice i can see right now, through my tears of abject sadness and rage. please don't stop raging, writing, singing, dancing, screaming, crying, rallying, demanding, resisting, resisting, resisting, speaking truth to power, fearlessly. don't stop. please don't stop.

 Love poem to my first dog, Norton, who my dad saved from the shelter just months before i was born. Everything I learned, I learned from Norton

Norton has always been my guide. My confidante, my protector, my friend. Norton liked to read with me. He followed me to school every day to make sure I got there safely. He hung around the schoolyard probably longer than he should have but these were the days of no leash and Norton did whatever the fuck he wanted.

The first lesson Norton taught me was to love and protect.

The second lesson Norton taught me was to experience joy whenever the opportunity presents itself.

The third lesson that Norton taught me was FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME

The fourth lesson that Norton taught me was that FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME..... has consequences..

The fifth lesson he taught me is NEVER TRUST A FUCKING COP.

The sixth lesson that Norton taught me is that you can always dig your way out of a difficult situation.

The seventh lesson that Norton taught me was that family is family and anyone dressed as santa claus is the enemy

The eight lesson that Norton taught me is that family is important and requires both nurturing and herding

The ninth and final lesson that Norton taught me is that even if there are consequences, and you think it's the right thing to do, you do it anyway.

the end.
