This one by @heatherjuneg.
I felt like she was describing an exact specific day of my life. This is a poem of my own memory, in neither harm nor relief. I found it astonishing.

Love this collection by @heatherjuneg - there is a quality to them (especially when reading aloud) that kept pulling at me & leading me to interesting imaginative reflections #poetry

In America, you can be teargassed and shot with rubber bullets for peacefully protesting in front of a church.
But you can literally bust down the doors to the United States Capitol and stroll around while police officers watch.

The President of the United States of America stood up in front of these people, incited them to riot, and directed them to attack the US Capitol.

Suddenly, the whole nation is depending on the same people they say shouldn’t make $15 an hour.
Just cried satisfying slow joyous weepy tears while watching the #NextinFashion finale runway and thinking of how beautiful it when people make beautiful things with their hands and then dress other humans with their hands #ShelterInPlace day something who’s counting I am

Wow. San Francisco residents have been ordered to stay home, no social gatherings of any size, no unessential movement, UNTIL APRIL 7. This is horrifying. Especially for those of us who live in TINY APARTMENTS. #ShelterInPlace
