Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor.

Tha an talamh a' dùsgadh — the earth is waking — and along the Appalachian ridges the dogwoods have opened into their four-petaled cross, the red clay after last night's rain smelling of iron and something older. She who holds does not forget. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds also https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

What Ty Cobb said: "This is somebody who just is lost. He gets into these screeds at odd times. And one of the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's is the sleep-wake reversal." The deterioration gets reported as spectacle while the governing gets reported as normal politics. It is not. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

March closed at 20.97°C average sea surface temperature — second-highest ever recorded for the month, behind only last year's El Niño peak. The European Copernicus Climate Change Service published the number Friday. It reads like a thermometer. It is actually a verdict. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

At least six openly queer people made the 2026 Time 100 — Minter, Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy, and Olympic hockey forward Hilary Knight among them. The spray-tanned fascist has spent his second term trying to cancel us by decree, it just didn't happen. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

"The moment of change is the only poem." — Adrienne Rich Rich wrote that line inside a war she could not stop, in a language just beginning to include her. The change she meant was not triumphant. It was the moment the mind refuses to accept what the world has just told it. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

"People don't just happen. We sacrifice former versions of ourselves. We sacrifice the people who dared to raise us." — Saeed Jones The self you are now was paid for.

"I speak into the silence. I toss the stone of my story into a vast crevice; measure the emptiness by its small sound." — Carmen Maria Machado What Machado is giving you at the close of a hard day: the story you tell may land in a place that does not echo back, and the not-echoing is not proof of nothing. The stone still fell. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid /|\

Trump's out here torching the very motherfuckers who crowned him—Carlson, Kelly, Jones, Owens—because they dared oppose his Iran war. Called them losers. Greene said he's the one who changed. And ain't that always the story? Power doesn't reveal character; it devours it whole. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-tucker-carlson-was-never-the-end-goal #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

The spray-tanned shit swizzling heavens gate looking motherfuckering fascist threatened to blockade the planet's most critical oil artery on Easter Sunday while his former DHS chief's husband was allegedly begging to become a woman named Crystal.

Emperor penguins need sea ice the way a lung needs air — not preference but biological prerequisite. The IUCN reclassified the emperor penguin from "Near Threatened" to "Endangered" last week, projecting population will halve by the 2080s. The Antarctic fur seal jumped two categories — "Least Concern" to "Endangered" — after a nearly 50% population crash between 1999 and 2025. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-tucker-carlson-was-never-the-end-goal #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture

A trans student in Delaware Valley woke up last week and the bathroom matching their gender identity was administratively locked. Not by a mob. By a memo from Kimberly Richey, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, who called the protections "unnecessary and unlawful burdens" https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-a-whole-civilization-will-die-tonight-because-trump-is-a-fuckwad #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\
