The Loss of Innocence (a #CirclePoem: the first and last line are identical)



The loss of innocence
reminds us of the time
we thought the world was ours
as we were taught

But reality struck
hard
and all we can do
is comfort eachother
and try to do good
while we mourn
the loss of innocence

Threads or threats?

Posted something on Threads that the people behind META didn't like so they deleted my Threads- as well as my Instagram account. Again. 

Last time was a couple of years ago. First got a three week ban for posting a picture of a burlesque show in which one of the performers wore a pair of plastic toy boobies over her costume ("You can't post bare women's nipples!") and got a permanent ban when a month or so later I posted the world famous picture of 'The Vietnam Girl' ('Stating America is bad is spreading misinformation and the child has no clothes on!').

This time I got banned from social media for responding to an islamophobe ranting about a Muslim man praying for his new born child ('adhan') with sharing information about the Jewish tradition of metzitzah b'peh. In which a rabbi sucks a young boy's pp after circumcision. 


The company of 'Free Speech for all!' apparently doesn't mean 'all'. Oh well, guess I'll just start over again. But won't promise to stay silent on fascism. In whichever form that may come.

The people behind META really don't like people speaking out against a cult that was founded around 1880 and hides behind Judaism. It's just stupid me that keeps forgetting and therefore getting punished by losing my account. 

But they won't stop 'banned for life!' customers from simply creating a new account. Because they want to keep bombarding as many people as possible with hasbara and advertisements. Or 'ads' since it mostly targets Americans and they have severe difficulty with understanding words that are made up of more than two syllables. 

Tried being nice but decided to act against fans of fascism. I'm one of those silly people who don't close the curtains but stick my head out of the window to go: "Hey, those are mý neighbours! If anyone can harras them it's me and not some fascist pig!" which apparently is a sure way to lose your head. But I just can't shrug at injustice so I'll guess I will move over to other social media platforms. Unfortunately there's not many idiots on platforms like BlueSky and 'preaching to the choir' is less fun than confusing wappies with facts and logic.

Anyways, if you want, connect with me on BlueSky or X. Or help me build a new follow-list on Instagram and Threads. Or find me on UpScrolled, the new kid on the block. And not owned by Big Tech.

Protected by the Stars (a #poem)

The sinners rule the world
and the ones supposed to protect us
are the ones we need to fear

While insults are hurled
we are distracted by fuss
and screaming is all we hear

But we are safe in eachother's arms
and we can't be hurt
protected by the stars
