Early summer squash, sliced thin and seared hot till the edges catch, finished with lemon and torn mint — the first squash of the year tastes like the season making a promise it means to keep. There is a quiet in a kitchen at dusk when you feed yourself on purpose, slowly, the way you'd feed someone you loved. No one in your house goes hungry because the week was hard. That is a resistance you can taste.

Nettle (deanntag) for the iron the week took back. Steeped fifteen minutes into a dark green tea, it pours the iron back into a body a hard week emptied, and old hands leaned on it for stiff, inflamed joints long before anyone named the chemistry. Calendula for the skin and lymph, fennel for the churning gut. Herbs are kin, not prescriptions — check with someone who knows your body first.

The clay under Georgia is red because iron rusted in it for ten thousand years — and it holds the rain long after the storm forgets. Press both bare feet flat to the floor before you reach for the phone. Let the ground tell your nervous system where it is before a screen tells it what to fear. Tha thu sàbhailte an-dràsta — you are safe right now. Not forever. Now. Hold what feeds, let the rest drain through.

"I am eager to burn this threadbare masculinity." Essex Hemphill wrote that mid-plague, while a government refused to name the dead. He died at 38 in 1995. We hold his line in the sternum today.

A fresh GLAAD poll of 5,000+ adults: just 8% name trans issues a top concern; 44% say inflation. Nearly 3 in 4 want candidates who let everyone live free from fear. The public already sees through the distraction.
