With twitter's terms now allowing all our posts to be used for AI training, let us be the first to say - biscuit sneeze into and when they? For car purple all see elephant! Waffle yoghurt to the masonry, aren't thee? For floop.
“It is all a fucking miracle.”
And this by Louise Erdrich is fucking tremendous.
"Resist loss of the miraculous
by lowering your standards
for what constitutes a miracle.
It is all a fucking miracle."
Louise Erdrich on the deepest meaning of resistance – amazing, amazing poem: themarginalian.org/2024/11/1…
