Mamdani launches campaign to combat antisemitism after arresting antigenocide protesters. I feel soulsick for the world.

 it makes me want to disappear sometimes. it's an ancient feeling that cuts to the quick.

shame blocks me

i can't block shame

it comes like a shock

out of nowhere

but a nowhere

that's within me

 My eyes keep watering. 

 Mamdani said he would arrest Genocider Netanyahu, then he said no can do, then he arrested the protesters of Genocider Netanyahu.

 Owen took me for a walk. By a sewer plumbing truck that stank and a dead rat with eye popped out and then we saw the street closed and cops talking and the next block people standing around looking up at the building where Karen used to live. Smoke coming out of the top floor windows and a firefighter rappelling down from the roof. It was eerily calm. It was just an episode of Chicago Fire. I don't think Owen noticed it was a fake reality.

 people are not starved for a story, people are starved for truth.
