Itching, like clothes that never fit
Fainting, spinning like a top
Fever dream, I am a mermaid above the water
Waterfall, I grasp onto the waves that cannot hit my lungs
Again, I love you without fail
Stop, I grasp onto a hopeless situation
Gears, I can’t wait until I am whole and without boundaries
Me, I am so sorry I can’t be there, I feel like I am enough but I am drained, so constricted in my form
Bursts, the way my body tightens and sinks and the pressures burrows and steels me up inside
High fever pitch,
Dysphoria

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
