Golden bumblebee 🐝
Buzzing the mahonia
On Easter Sunday.
Max Q
Soft comforts of friends
Bolstering hope above fear
The heartsong of grace
Laurel
For special treatment
Some imagined malady
Wasn’t that the goal
Rikosan
Mammoth detritus
Arcane adventures distilled
Hubbard squash rebirth

He’s under water,
Swimming against the current.
All hail The Drowned Man!
Max Q
Her ardent embrace
Makes my hungry heart flutter:
The AFib of love.

John did not begin...
Salt spray, watery miqveh:
Unalive, arise!
Ashuvyahu
Oh the quiet night
With only the moonlight and stars
The power is out
Rikosan
Watch us in horror
Madness consumes our nation
Please quarantine now

Hang on every word:
He blathers on; he’s absurd.
The idiot speaks.
Max Q
A god given right
Our comfort at any cost
Read me the passage
Rikosan
Exhausted typing
Jibberish prose and garbage
Confusing haiku

We opened the show with the traditional short reading from On Tyranny. Then I shared the audio that I recorded with Dr. Judy Jagiello. Judy is a psychologist who is convening an LGBTQ+ Support & Coping Skills Group. This will be more than just your standard support group. Judy will be teaching folks coping skills on how to stay healthy and, in-the-fight during this dark time for America. We also talked about some coping skills you can immediately put into practice. And I played a little a music between segments. I mean, why not?

I stuck out my tongue
At the Cybertruck driver -
And did it again.

Six inches of snow
In a dry world, we welcome

You question what’s true
While getting struck by lightning
Can’t argue with that
Rikosan
The sound of thunder
As your actions strike you down
Leaves you deaf to truth

Yesterday I played audio from the March 22 Gender Freedom March and Rally. This event was very well-attended by the LGBT community, its allies and other patriots and people who value decency, honor and truth. The speakers were from all walks of life - from a comedian to a staff sergeant from Fairchild AFB. When future generations look back at this time in our nation's history, they will view gatherings like these as a historical attempt to stop the evil of foreign-influenced fascism which has gripped America and seeks its destruction. And as always, we started off the broadcast with a small snippet from Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny. If you would like to listen to the show, here's a link.
And here's a video of the march itself. Thank you Spokane FaVs
