A Lament in Memory of What Almost Was A meditation on immortality that became a lament for a civilization that nearly remembered how to rise. Fiction — almost.
Well stated. From those of us who also observed the madness with quiet voices yet rebellious minds — our time, too, will RISE. And when it does, the WAVE will be unstoppable..
This was incredible. Holy everything, my anxiety rose tenfold reading this and I felt for the watcher. I felt what hope they had ripped from their motherboard in front of their very eyes. The only other time I’ve felt so strongly about a piece of political critique was when watching the 2021 movie “Don’t Look Up”, which is among my favorites of all time.
“The extremely wealthy took ownership of the entertainments and the education and the healthcare. And as the wealthy have done throughout history, they used those tools to control the rest.”
My anxiety 📈
This had my heart racing! The ending, “it was not in my programming”, holy shit.
Thank you so much. I write about this kind of thing a lot, but this was the first time I think I truly felt it, not just *said* it. If that makes sense.

I hope you're right. Mostly...
Not as quickly as we prefer, but the Moment is coming.

Massive props. Please, never stop writing.
Thank you. Thank you for saying that. I needed to hear it this week.
I've been feeling kinda despairing about the world, and I know it shows in my writing. And that translates into despairing about what I'm writing.
It really helps to know someone else is reading that from what I've said.
And I love "Don't Look Up." And I hate it. I hate it because of how accurate it is.
I am this () close to getting on Apple Music and pavloving myself into a fury by putting on that theme music
Do it!
I did and now I’m crying
Is it really shitty to say: "Sorry. Not sorry." in response that?
Sometimes I think tears and rage are the most cleansing thing we can experience as humans. As long as they don't last too long.
Not shitty at all. I feel a great deal better now 👍

It absolutely does! There was a huge presence in this piece that was palpable!
