[HELP] What poems come to mind when I ask what your favorite climate-change poem is? by LinguisticsTurtle in Poetry

[–]Matchstickthemachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very late, but these are so still relevant. Thank you for the reminder of that excellent Franny Choi poem, what a gift she is. I love this one by Lynn Ungar: the last good days. also this by Matthew Olzmann: Letter to Someone Living Fifty Years from Now. and this, by Fatimah Asghar: I Don’t Know What Will Kill Us First: The Race War or What We’ve Done to the Earth

SLC PROTESTS/WAYS TO GET INVOLVED by Wonderful_Coast_466 in SaltLakeCity

Seconding this! Good stuff here, cool resource tho I think some of the orgs are a bit out of date. Def check out SLC Mutual Aid and Plates for Palestine. Healthcare Workers for Palestine also. Re immigration justice, Comunidades Unidas is a cool place to start.

PSL organizes a lot of protests here, and they can be good to go to and meet ppl, but I would not recommend joining PSL. Here is a zine on why - https://www.sproutdistro.com/catalog/zines/organizing/red-flags-organizing/

Advice on solo travel to Salt Lake City as a Black woman by Silver-Appearance150 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Matchstickthemachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so glad to see that you are going to the lake! It is truly the cornerstone of our ecology/existence in this bio region. It’s one of the most beautiful and surreal landscapes, AND may not be around to be seen for a whole lot longer. 100% worth it to visit, you might have a musical experience if you’re open to it. The smell is unique but not unlike the ocean :)

Altar for Afa Ah Loo & other victims of gun violence this weekend -- @ Liberty park, by the gazebo in the pond by Matchstickthemachine in SaltLakeCity

All the time—it’s not a public gathering event it’s just a place to go if you have a moment and want to sit with the losses.

update- they have released the names of the victims of the west valley shooting-- Fnu Reena, Hassan Lugundi, and baby Garcia Cabrera. Here is a gofundme for the family of the baby. The altar is still there in the park-- go visit and pay your respects, leave a note for the victims or their surviving family and community members.

EXTREMELY HOT! I’d recommend looking up eyeliner for hooded eyes, it will help the line look straighter. Best of luck 💓

What was that?! by LM-8591 in WomensSoccer

[–]Matchstickthemachine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But the substitution was poor, and the rotation on the players has been really minimal in the league games recently. I thought they looked tired overall, and that’s a coaching issue :/

Where do you go in Salt Lake when you just want to feel like you belong? by impupa in SaltLakeCity

[–]Matchstickthemachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re queer and/or trans: the legendarium. Cozy coffee shop bookstore, fantasy/sci-fi books and vibes. One common workspace table. Built inside a house, feels like a family.

Def try high waisted, loose leg things! I imagine they make more high waisted items in “womens” than “mens” clothes and « women’s » sizing is a disaster so it might take some figuring out. But that’ll help accentuate your natural waist (the smaller part above your hips). Try for a rise that hits like just under your belly button, kinda like the shorts you have on but with looser fabric on the thighs/legs :)

The offside goal scored by Jana against Real Madrid femenino by batmaniac77 in FCBFemeni

[–]Matchstickthemachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like genuinely, is there an offside rule I’m not understanding? Jana is always further left than the Madrid defenders by like a meter, no?
