I Loved You Before I Was Born by Li-Young Lee
I loved you before I was born. It doesn't make sense, I know. I saw your eyes before I had eyes to see. And I've lived longing for your ever look ever since. That longing entered time as this body. And the longing grew as this body waxed. And the longing grows as the body wanes. The longing will outlive this body. I loved you before I was born. It doesn't make sense, I know. Long before eternity, I caught a glimpse of your neck and shoulders, your ankles and toes. And I've been lonely for you from that instant. That loneliness appeared on earth as this body. And my share of time has been nothing but your name outrunning my ever saying it clearly. Your face fleeing my ever kissing it firmly once on the mouth. In longing, I am most myself, rapt, my lamp mortal, my light hidden and singing. I give you my blank heart. Please write on it what you wish.

DUMPSTER FIRE - EPISODE #309
The Dangerous Truth About Media’s Favorite Radical
Hasan Piker sat down with the New York Times Opinion podcast — alongside Jia Tolentino and Nadja Spiegelman — and made the case that murdering a healthcare CEO is “social protest” and stealing is activism. Nobody pushed back. Bridget Phetasy and Mike Solana of Pirate Wires break down how assassination culture went from fringe rhetoric to the paper of record, what it means that the left has no “too far,” and why the NYT mainstreaming a violent Marxist is the actual story.
Leave Me Behind
Mar 29
I caught clips of Tucker Carlson interviewing Nick Fuentes, and the thing that struck me was the body language. Here was a man who had the biggest show on cable news, who once commanded an audience of 5 million adults, sitting across from a twenty-something New-Age shock-jock with the energy of a guy trying to impress his son’s friends.
A Love Letter to the Sane Women Holding It Down
Mar 22
I’ve been wanting to write this for a while because, more often than not, I find myself doomscrolling, screaming “NOT ALL WOMEN!” It seems like most of the women represented in media are, for lack of a better word, insane. I blame the algorithms for elevating the craziest of us. So this is for you—the woman reading this who has been quietly holding it t…

America Tried To ‘Fix’ Men For Two Decades. Here’s What It Got Instead.
America spent two decades trying to “fix” masculinity. It nearly broke the country — and the guys who complained the loudest about it turned out to be the ones with the least ability to fix it.
