54 degrees

54 degrees

Yesterday was December 7th

And it was 54 degrees

I live in Minnesota

On December 7th

It is supposed to be snowy

The lake should be frozen over

But no

It was 54 degrees Fahrenheit

And cheeto man

doesn’t care

if next year

it is 54 degrees celsius

He doesn’t care

if next year

on December 7th

I am at the beach

And the

Trees

and birds

are dying. 

And I am just one girl.

I can’t do anything.

Cheeto man

and Elon musk

and Jeff Bezos

and the people who have 

money

and influence

need to do something.

But they won’t.

And I can’t.

I can’t do anything

about the fact that it was 54 degrees.

    Snow is the closest thing Earth has to magic.

    Lift your face to the sky

    Feel the soft, chilly flakes 

    melt on your tongue,

    float on your eye lashes,

    bring color to your cheeks.

    Renee Good just wanted to go home

    To her kids

    6, 12, and 15

    I've watched the video

    I didn't want to

    But I needed to see for myself if she really tried to run the agent over

     

    She didn't

    Woah.

    I've been busy.

    I haven't posted for 5 months.

    I haven't opened the site for 5 months.

    I have a good reason.

    I promise.

    I shipped myself to a New England boarding school?
