Nothing Is Too Small Not to Be Wondered About by Mary Oliver

The cricket doesn’t wonder
if there’s a heaven
or, if there is, if there’s room for him.

It’s fall. Romance is over. Still, he sings.
If he can, he enters a house
through the tiniest crack under the door.
Then the house grows colder.

He sings slower and slower.
Then, nothing.

This must mean something, I don’t know what.
But certainly it doesn’t mean
he hasn’t been an excellent cricket
all his life.

With the caveat that I’ve blocked all news and politics communities… not saying you’re wrong, but can you give a practical example of the kind of opinion you’d like to see voiced here?

To me the Lemmy userbase seems rightfully distrustful of corporate curated talking points and it’s easy enough to see those by going to any social media platform. I don’t know who you’re talking to in real life, but after meeting hundreds of AI tech bros (and many others too polite to vocally disagree with them) that seems like a breath of fresh air.

I could do without the endless barrage of guillotine references though. Anyone who thinks of the French Revolution as the ideal model for societal reform would be wise to take a moment to read up on it.

I’M AFRAID OF EVERYTHING LIKE A REAL MAN!
