Love like there's no yesterday

- by Caitlin Johnstone

Love like there's no yesterday
like you're the first to ever love
like it's fresh and for the first time
because it is fresh and for the first time
and the illusion otherwise is just a trick of human perception
🧵
Love like a hermit crab that said fuck it
and cast aside its shell forever
Love like a three year-old rides a tricycle

Love like the nukes just started flying
Love like two middle aged bloggers
making out in the rain while Australia floods
Love like cobwebs and calliopes
🧵
Love like a geyser of starlings
pouring from your chest cave
🧵
Love like God just cracked you open
and gazed at all the parts of you you're most ashamed of
the things you feel most guilty about
and chuckled sweetly
at how you think any of that matters
in this roaring ocean of infinity
🧵
Love like an intimate ultrasound
of the world that's waiting to be born

Love like everyone's watching
and you're a slutty little attention whore

Love like peacock angels in screaming orgasm
🧵
Love like you deserve to love
and be loved
because you do
because you do
I swear to you on my accordion heart
and my warzone womb
and my eyes that are brimming with my grandmother's tears
🧵
you deserve to love and be loved
you do
you do
and it is safe
and it is right
and it is good
🧵
Love like tender holiness kisses

Love like swampwater messiahs

Love like watching My Dinner with Andre
for the very first time
home alone with the lights out
and a box of tissues
and a mind full of wonder
🧵
Love like eating an orange while listening to crickets

Love like a heartfelt impromptu pop song serenade
from an adoring lover
who cannot sing
🧵
Love like a mother noticing that her prattling child
will never be that age again
Love like you are a very young primate
in a very old universe you do not understand
and your accomplishments mean nothing
because everything's so big
so all that matters is love
and loving
🧵
Love like a scarecrow saint

Love like a balrog buddha

Love like babies eating ice cream

Love big

Love hard

Empty the tank

Leave it all in the ring
There's nothing to save it for anyway
🧵ENDS

We have to prepare for the Locals, and, as usual it will all be last minute, eh, @TUSCoalition ? Listen - I am not just having a pop - I know how difficult it all is. 😊

But we need to think, and plan, ahead - because ALL our cohorts will be very short of dosh.

🧵
We are planning to put up 100+ candidates, and that will require £60,000.00, one way or another.

Hopefully, @RMTunion and @BFAWUOfficial will help underwrite this?

We, who long for a better life, now need to understand what has been stolen again from us, & where we actually are.

Far, far too many people still secretly hope for the Labour Party to rise again, or even more bizarrely, for a "progressive alliance" - whatever the fuck that is.
Reality needs to bite. Because the vast majority of us have done sweet fuck all in the last two years to change the terms of trade, we need to face the fact of another two terms of Tory government.

Because that is the reality, not the myth that most of us nurture.
If we want #Socialism , the mighty oak #Socialism , with #SHADEFORALL , we are going to have to grow it from the acorns that the bravest and best amongst us HAVE ALREADY created. There IS no messiah, no magic leader - that is a wastrel myth.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻👍🏻❤️

Tonight, I'm going to assemble a risotto con funghi porcini in stile giardino con la pancetta!

There has been an argument recently about how to add the liquid?

I have a simple rule: if you have to ADD liquid, your risotto is already struggling. 😊 (1)
So, a simple rule of thumb - 3 cups/ glasses of liquid per two people.

1 cup of plain almost boiling water to rehydrate the dried porcini mushrooms.

1 cup of very hot chicken stock - we always have our own chicken stock!

1 glass of Soave for the risotto ... 😉 (2)
And - 1 glass of Soave for the chef, who actually runs on Soave!!! 🥂 😂😂😂

Nota Bene - the fourth cup of liquid DOES NOT go in the risotto!!! 👨🏻‍🍳🥂

The secret of risotto is not liquid, but slow hand stirring - not even stirring as such - folding, more. (3)

Today's THE LONG READ:

Can PR save democracy?

"In the ERS’s analysis of different PR systems, the winner in every case was the minor party ..."

What was the really remarkable thing about the 2017 Election?

Was it Corbyn ? I suggest not - although he WAS clearly the catalyst ...

Was it Twitter ? Perhaps, although possibly not in the way that you imagine.

What was really, really remarkable, was the NUMBER OF ACTIVISTS.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

TWEETERS ON TWITTER.

THIS is the LESSON that is also remarkable, in that it is almost always FORGOTTEN. 😒

And it is also why the left are so crap at elections.

This was also the lesson of #BatleyandSpen

Forget it, at your peril ... 😒
