What we are is where we have been. That is all there is, at least from where we can see. They keep trying to convince you that there is some objective reality out there, but you know in your heart how much nonsense that is. It's their way of trying to sell you on the idea that change, being an "inevitable" part of "progress"-- being dropped on top of your head by some deus ex machine with a bad sense of timing-- can't be fought.

Colonial Pipeline, making Alabama beautiful for extract-ivists.
I wonder where Colonial CEO Tim Felt will be going next....
from one pipeline to more profitable ones
in Trump's DC kleptocracy, perhaps?
Thanks for making a mess in Alabama,
Tim. Of course we wish you the best.
20 years after Colonial disaster in Greenville....
The things you saw became your home. And they became your teachers. They made you an unwitting wizard, an accomplished if pint-sized engineer. Just by looking at them, you caused things to shift shape. After hours of staring at that oxidized-green copper ornament on the roofline of your grandparents' Tudor-style house, it revealed itself in certainty: it was a frozen, custard cone. Why would there be ice cream on the roof of a house? Well, to make you look at it in longing, of course.

A petition against Rep. Gary Palmer's attempt
to enable outside corporate interests
to continue their displacement
of our homes and property.
If you're not a petition person,
pick up the phone and make a call
to one of Rep. Palmer's multiple
taxpayer-funded offices.
Because I'm tired of subsiding
corporations to destroy property
value and corrode our investments.
I'm tired of the lie that says a bully
will "police himself".
Make a call.

Or make a family outing of it.
