My "No" is my super power. #Metoo
My no is my super power.
My no is the master of my mother fucking destiny.
Your yes does not determine my
Worth
Future
Sleep
Peace or
Dreams.
My no is my super power.
My no is the law of the law of the land.
Mightier than the police, the judge,
the powers of patriarchy that be.
My no is my super power.
My no will save me.
Let down repeatedly
when no was not enough.
Standing up, choosing love,
still no gets rebuffed.
Where is its strength then?
you may ask.
A question, truly fair.
Most days that answer
is fully less than clear.
Regardless, I will
Shout until all you hear,
Our no is my super power.
Our no is the law of the law of the land.
Mightier than the police, the judge,
the powers of patriarchy that be.
Our no is our superpower.
Our no will save you and me.

Music Prompt? Music Thingy!
At work a few weeks ago, I was using that Spotify DJ thing, the AI tool that slightly bugs me on principle, but not enough for me to boycott it. (You know the one?) Anyway, I was jamming out to songs I was familiar with, a few new ones, and then all of a sudden, I was stopped in my tracks.
