lil1inblue @Cuilin The angry-sad-disappointed cycle is exhausting. 🫂 3w

dabbe @lil1inblue Ovid? Shakespeare? Chaucer? WTF? @Cuilin: your comment reminds me of a PEANUTS comic strip where Linus says: “I love humankind. It's people I can't stand!“ Such truth in that. 🧡💜💛 3w

A Light in the Attic | Shel Silverstein

This poem is one of the reasons that this book was often banned in the 90s. Sigh.

lil1inblue @cuilin @dabbe @anncrystal The link is from the author's blog, where she explains how the poem came about. The last paragraph is interesting: "I consider that empty space at the poem‘s end as merely the beginning. It represents the place where you and I choose either to speak up or be silent on behalf of a free and inclusive society -- ⬇️ 3w

lil1inblue where we choose either to act or do nothing in defense of those who would be punished for merely being and expressing who they are." 3w

AnnCrystal @lil1inblue that's lovely, thank you for sharing this extra bit of info. This gives a whole new dimension to that last line ✊🏼🥲💙. 3w

lil1inblue @AnnCrystal 💙🩵💙 3w
