She leans heavily
The counter takes her weight
Holding her aloft
As she faces the day
It's tastes bitter
She knew she should have left it
Gave it more time
Before she plunged
She sips again
No sweetener can mask
The harshness
She swallows anyway
She knows she should try
To have hope
To grasp at a future
But for now
She finishes what she started
@bookstodon Today, my librarian told me about a good place to buy books online: Better World Books. Many of the books are library discards in very good condition. The shipping is free, and the proceeds go toward libraries, literacy programs (worldwide) and education. #books #bookstodon #library
Kia ora koutou, you may know the legend that infiltrated Posie Parker's terf posse in Auckland and gave her a passata rinse that sent her packing out of Aotearoa is a 🇨🇴 Colombian (represent!) intersex trans person 🏳️‍⚧️ called Eliana.
They're now being charged with assault and so a Give A Little has been set up for their legal defense (and security, because the fash are fuming and threatening them)
