Watching My Friend Pretend Her Heart Is Not Breaking
By Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

On Earth, just a teaspoon of neutron star would weigh six billion tons. Six billion tons equals the collective weight of every animal on earth. Including the insects. Times three.
Six billion tons sounds impossible until I consider how it is to swallow grief— just a teaspoon and one might as well have consumed a neutron star. How dense it is, how it carries inside it the memory of collapse. How difficult it is to move then. How impossible to believe that anything could lift that weight.
There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness. One is the sheer miracle that we are here together on a planet surrounded by dying stars. One is that we cannot see what anyone else has swallowed

Been wondering this myself. Perfect cartoon by @dccartoonist #weaponization

A political cartoon about the weaponization fund with two contrasting panels by artist
@dccartoonist

Panel 1:
A Black man faces a group of five white male politicians standing behind a podium with a seal resembling that of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The man states, "My ancestors were enslaved." A politician replies, "Reparations are not feasible."

Panel 2:
The same group of politicians now face a man wearing a red "MAGA" style hat.
The man in the hat says, "I stormed the Capitol." The politician responds enthusiastically, "You might be entitled to compensation!"

🤣🤣🤣✨this made me laugh and laugh #unionize

Picture Text: Someone should tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative we worked out a long time ago to breaking down the factory owner’s front door and beating him to death in front of his family? I feel like they forgot.

I just went to Pompeii at Easter. The tour guide stated at the time of its demise (79 AD), there were many different gods, temples, mystery religious and “foreign” cults. There were people from all over who lived there. If you can ever go, GO.

This is a replica of god found from the house of faun. All the real ones are in the museum.

This is a nicho/altar for another god in the house of faun.

This is one of the streets in Pompeii showing you cobble stones

This is one of the bodies found in a sitting position. The bones are inside covered in a plaster cast. They drill in through the ash and fill it with liquid plaster to make a mold.

7. I’m definitely Baby Jane this week. #BetteDavis I love how you can write so much more on the ALT for pics.

Meme: On a scale of Bette Davis, how are you feeling today? There are 9 black and white photos of Bette Davis
1. Bette at cocktail hour smiling drinking a martini. 2. Bette wide eyed and freaked out like the shower scene in Psycho. 3. Bette looking glamorous with hair swept to the side and eyebrows raised . 4. Bette screaming in fear. 5. Bette wide eyed and staring into space. 6. Bette, young with her hand on her face looking askance or giving good side eye. 7. Bette with face powdered and deranged in What ever Happened to Baby Jane? 8. A young Bette exhausted or strung out, eye bags and hair like straw. 9. Business Bette. Hair and makeup done professionally, hand under chin with a slight smirk maybe a littleself satisfied
