Call me a filthy commie but I think if we're going to have a carceral legal system it's probably more important to prosecute the child sexual predators and murderous fascist goons than kids who shoplifted, and if we're doing the opposite maybe we're doing everything wrong

Just a thought

Does honey
Remember
The comb?
Hexagonal and
Golden,
And do your
Atoms remember
The core of
The star that
Made them?
Ask yourself
When next
You burn.

The sooner you realize that every single one of us are fully capable of bad takes, horrible ideas, and self-centered actions, the sooner we will move on as a society and a species.

It’s the SUM which counts. Try to do good in the world. You WILL fuck it up occasionally. Just keep trying for good.

May our empathy
Never atrophy
In a world
Built on
Apathy.
