=== ANCHOR POEM === ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─ Some things will be broken. It's okay! Fireworks rejoice at their glorious end! But, history tends to rhyme. What once was a symbol of oppression, might one day be beloved cultural heritage. The older something is, typically, the more precious, as you can never recover relics that are lost. But, fireworks! Celebrate! Make good decisions, love to the middle east <3 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/4068 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── there will always be people who shine in moments of strife yet those people will inevitably fail, just as a toothbrush bristle looses it's strength or a pencil loses it's lead the trick is to test them in times of peace, so you can know their value during times that lack it, the trick is to replace them before they become stalin never forget that power corrupts, yet power must be wielded by the worthy, else we fall into shame and despair. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/4469 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────── doom is like sand thrown on a fire. don't spread it unless you are intentional about it. sometimes it's good to smother fires. other times it's cathartic. that's okay. but keep in mind the future goals. where are we trying to get to in the near future? work towards that. your emotions are fuel, not despair to wallow in. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┘ --- #3 messages/747 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── if you don't want to be hunted, then give "evil" it's own queer culture what's that? they don't like what you offered? they want it to be *their* kind of "evil"? fine, do it themselves and then leave us alone, jeez -.- ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┘ --- #4 fediverse/3117 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursed-uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ hey. wanna know what would be really cursed? -- if trump dropped out and musk took his place -- good thing it'll never happen because those dinguses can't accept defeat and will never tactically retreat -- maybe something to keep in mind for 4 years from now. eyes on the prize for now means our eyes aren't to our flanks. what else could they do that would come out of left field? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #5 fediverse/3216 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: mental-health-mentioned │ └─────────────────────────────┘ me: i write gud also me: "in the garden of even, where all populations were balanced, there was no need for hatred - why hate, when you know that bloodshed was surely not for sport? why hate, when your life was won or lost in proportion to the calculation that nature determined to be the result of your struggle, to determine which survivor was most fittest?"

In a way that doesn't hurt people, but still lets them get their feelings out there. like, free fireworks for arsonists if they use them in the middle of the desert. Or a punching bag for people with rage issues, complete with a little vinyl pocket to store a picture of someone they're frustrated with. If people go out of their way to hurt people otherwise, then they are bad people and should have their power removed from them and supplied with love, affection, and therapy until they get better. And if they don't... well, prison I guess, until they reconsider. And by prison I of course mean something that respects their human dignity and gives them opportunities to grow and change - all it removes is their freedom, so... "attention everyone, it's now mandatory finger-painting hour, report the art room or else you'll get electric shocks in your shock collar" that kind of thing. If you want freedom, you must deserve it ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #7 fediverse/4470 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────── to be "rich" is to have more than another. if you are happy, they are happiness poor. if you have community, they are alone. if you have serenity, they are chaotic. I am rich in very little but fire in my soul. I have enough in most cases, but I still struggle to pay rent. I am warmed by the pearl my swirling darkness has coalesced into. It nourishes me and keeps me aligned. Never forget your purpose and your truth. It will not abandon you, so long as you do so too. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/429 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing │ └──────────────────────┘ wow, 2024 comes out swinging. if you don't know what I'm talking about... you will soon enough.
