I'm a firm believer in morality, and I have a very strong belief in right and wrong. It's just a belief, though. I'm not sure the Universe distinguishes, and I sometimes feel like we only got as far as we did because someone made what should have been a mistake. 

Homemade

 If you're amazing
You can make something better
Than any store in the world.
But for most of us
It's enough of a win
To not set the oven on fire. 

   It's fall. Before too much longer, it'll be Halloween. Amazing how quickly the year flies by.

More of the Same

 I look at our leaders
And feel nothing but loathing.
How much longer must I put up
With more of the same? 

    I can't help but think about how the web's become disconnected from itself in light of the loss of Twitter. Sure, some people are still there, but unless you're deep in the world of fascism there's no good reason to stay there. I feel like there are many essays that could be written about how Elon Musk is erasing all identity other than himself, and how social media in general has from the beginning been a vehicle in erasing already marginalized groups. I also feel like most people are at least somewhat aware of this. Strange how evil always feels familiar while marginalized groups, who are there all the time, often seem strange and unnatural. Maybe one day we'll know so much about one another that we won't feel strange, and we won't feel like we can't talk to one another without someone getting hurt.
