ILLNESS
We have a plague of apathy!
Course rind edges the outside of our bloodstream. Filled with bile, salted soil, and the crap pile in which you find ME. Begging you to stop telling me to look away!
“Look away young bard, for your heart will shatter over and over until it is dust. Make it like citrus skin, bumped w/ pseudoscience and plastic”
RISE RISE RISE; RISE FROM THE ASHES, SIR!
The Rain has come and it’s time
to beat it!
I was in a stageplay reading of They Want Me Dead So I Chose Breath written by NYC playwright Sophie Sagan-Gutherz. This was the feature performance of block 2 of the 2023 TGNC Reading Festival produced by Rainbow Entertainment and Sacred Fools Theater Company. You can watch it here!
As much as I believe in paying writers especially right now, I also believe access to information is a human right and a public safety issue. Access to peer-reviewed scholarly articles should be publically accessible. Too many paywalls are not just exhausting but also harmful.
A lot of centerist or (slightly) left-of-center news orgs like The Times or CNN have paywalls whereas right-wing or news sources are free to access online. It’s no wonder people are being indoctrinated to bigoted beliefs.
I found this website https://12ft.io/ to be very helpful in achieving the goal of the right to factual information without having to pay for it.
