**One Art

By Elizabeth Bishop**

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;

so many things seem filled with the intent

to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster

of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:

places, and names, and where it was you meant

to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or

next-to-last, of three loved houses went.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,

some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.

I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture

I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident

the art of losing’s not too hard to master

though it may look like (*Write it!*) like disaster.

The most significant downside of the mastodon and so-called fediverse is that it has no users. It's just me from millions of accounts, and to prove that i'll now post this from all of them

Apparently a bunch of black-clad heroes disassembled a TPUSA rally at UC Davis & just carried of their canopy. They look like mighty ants carrying off spoils--love to see that shit.

I'm not going to cite the conservative news site I'm getting the following quote from, nor name the dipshit interviewed who founded this wretched fascist organization, but I do love this quote:

"UC Davis is probably the most militant school in the country, with the largest Antifa presence :sob: :sob: :sob: * "

That sounds like a contest to me! I'm sure folks on many other campuses could do even better :happy_hopping_bunny:

*sobbing implied

I suppose if the fascist are coming after me anyway, my biggest regret would be not having more sex.

Like, way, way more sex.

Like ... figs & orgy sex on a massive scale. Occupy the theater-house & put on a six hour erotic play, with (functional) costumes & a sloppy script & plenty of (consensual) improv.

Like taking over a courthouse & lampooning bourgeois justice with mock trials & punishments.

Like ruin the beds in the furniture show-room, broadcast it on pirate TV kinds of sex.

If they're going to get me anyway, I should have made it like a thousand times more worth my while, damn it :grraccoon:

If the US ruling class indeed decides to make war upon the canadian ruling class, I suggest we open a third front, & defy them both.

The only real question is this: when the US invades an "ally," will we make the same mistakes that the working class made in WWI?

I find it grimly amusing, too, that the US congress attempts to make a law restricting its president to only invading canada in the case of an "emergency," as if emergency powers have not been the modus operandi of this executive office since forever, as if the con man currently inhabiting that fascist office isn't perfectly aware of what he can say to play the country like a fucking fiddle.

4. There is a golf course in New Brunswick that is so close to Maine that stray shots enter the US.

Need I even say more about this one?

3. The Canadian Coast Guard staffs a lighthouse on Machias Seal Island off the coast of New Brunswick. An old treaty suggests that it's not part of Maine, but the entire US is built atop a heap of treaty violations.

Canada runs a bird sanctuary there. Is that woke? "We don't know. We don't know. We have people looking into it, but we don't know. You know, some people are saying we have a bird flu. It's going around, it's killing the birds. It's terrible. Is a bird sanctuary to blame? We don't know. We don't know what the Canadians are up to, frankly. They won't let us in."

2. The "A-B" line in the Entree Dixon, a straight between Alaska & B.C.

According to wikipedia, the territorial dispute here that has never been settled leads to 4 different ambiguous zones. If oil were "discovered" in the sea floor here (even if this discovery later turned out to be completely fabricated or an outright lie), it could serve as a pretense for the US to occupy this area of only about 6,400 square kilometers.

There are also some rocks here, the "Nunez Rocks," which are "bare at half-tide," leading to a situation where "about half of each day, above-water territory that Canada regards as Canadian is surrounded by sea territory that the U.S. has declared to be American."

& if you think this land of republican liberty won't park a boat on top of those rocks for 12 hours a day just to antagonize a sister republic, guess again.

Here are a handful of other potential escalating points to watch out for:

1. The Northwest Angle, the only part of the US north of the 48th Parallel & considered part of Minnesota. The US is not above blowing any local events there out of proportion & most USians probably don't even know about the place. Fishing, timber, water rights, highway access, & sudden interests in Native populations or the governance of Minnesota, currently a liberal stronghold, could all come into play.

I've been awoken from sleep with a thought that won't leave:

"The world's longest unprotected border."

The US has a history of provoking other countries until it finds a pretext for war.

Remember "hand over Bin Laden"?

Afghanistan's government did not know where Bin Laden was. It was an unfulfillable demand.

Remember "weapons of mass destruction"?

Iraq's government did not have the weapons program that the US accused it of having "according to its intel" that it could never produce & was, years later, found fictitious. It could not dismantle a weapons program it did not have. It was an unfulfillable demand.

"Cease the flow of fentanyl & drug dealers into the US" is an unfulfillable demand. So would be "turn over this list of 100 US persons illegally held inside your borders" if the list is fictitious.

The US government has a proven track record of making shit up & invading on the most spurious pretexts.

You think a photo op with a warehouse full of US drugs will stop this? You think this madman will back down if he can be "pwned" as the gamers once said?

Trump *is* the madman the US sees in every other dictator in the world. He is the cowboy with the itchy trigger finger. He'll swear he saw your hand go for that gun. He will never admit to being "pwned."

The world's. Longest. Undefended. Border.
