    down here on the path 
    beside the railroad tracks
    with the freight train
    slowly going by
    the urge to hop on one
    of the gravel laden cars
    and let it take me
    far away from here
    is almost overpowering

    as usual i do not
    make the leap and
    later i find myself
    walking past the old man
    with a broom sweeping
    the street to where the path
    turns back upon itself
    out past the little girl
    on her mama's back
    who says hi

    i try to smile in return
    but all i can think about
    is how did i ever get so lost

  2. Our deepest condolences to Mr. Thiago on the death of his mother while he is imprisoned by the occupation for standing with the oppressed and the weak. He is a courageous man in a time teeming with cowards. #Gaza #Palestine #appeal #Staying #everyone

    Ah yes. Some do very much dream about chasing us all out. Good luck to them. They are a tiny fragment of the populace which, if we keep reminding our neighbors how much of our lives they’re wasting by failing to focus on wages, #housing health and the cost of elder care, child care—maybe average people will disengage from the extremism and racism and remember #lgbtq people and their neighbors have never just been white & that being cruel gets the world nowhere but messed up. #notleaving #staying in #idaho to make the place more loving, safe, just and free for ALL of us—not just the pale cruel few. Hope you all join us & work to end this senseless violence, censorship & demonizing & get our state leaders to work on real issues.

  5. @SpockResists I’ve been here about 2 weeks. People are without doubt the most friendly, collegiate, and helpful bunch I’ve encountered on the interwebs. On the birdsite I was a nervous wreck every time I engaged in case I inadvertently stirred up a trolls’ nest. #staying #mastodon

  6. @douginamug i will soon take http://kanthaus.online/en/about/visiting as big inspiration to adapt ahoxus.org/visiting into #visiting and/or #staying...

    just got 1 big question: how do you handle big unexpected costs in such situations? do you have some sort of insurance?

    suppose a guest forgets a candle and everything catches on fire, for instance.
