Our moms remind us what it felt like when we were safe
in their arms, even if our moms weren’t safe, even
if they were only holding it together for us, to give us a happiness
they’d created from thin air.

I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.

It’s abundantly clear that @LilNasX understands the truth of who he is and wants to be. As Audre Lorde taught us: “Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.” And that’s why y’all can’t shame him into hating himself the way you hate yourselves.

to choose from the good book
but what do you name

in the year that should’ve been
yours?
