Why public health is a shared responsibility: “Safe affordable housing, quality education, a livable income, stable employment, clean air and water, access to affordable fresh food, and a sense of belonging in a trusted community—these are cornerstone pieces…”

Moderation is key to a healthy mind and a fit body. Whatever you like to do, it’s vital to have creative outlets, physical activity, and spend more time doing things offline. 👇

If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.

Remember, remember.

Patience, good lady, wizards know their times.

The rightwing response to the murder of Alex Pretti is predictable: to outshout and talk over anyone taking another position. The shrillness on Twitter is especially grating, but again, not surprising. It's Orwell's doublespeak. If the man had a cell phone instead of a gun, yell louder.

Yourself, but as a cartoon. ✨💙

✨Love this.✨ #LeonardNimoy #GeorgeTakei #StarTrek 🎥💙

Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

Indeed. Although his greed and lust for power is second only to Putin, to invade or occupy Greenland is a breach of Article 1 of the NATO treaty and the military must not obey illegal orders.

Love this so much. Great work, Gerhard! @oevermann.bsky.social #Poetsky 📚💙

Here's to The Professor! 📚💙 (Thanks for sharing this @rhunedhel.bsky.social) #Booksky #Tolkien

Belated Happy New Year to one and all. We're certainly not out of the woods yet, but may 2026 be a much better time for us all. Keep on reading, writing, exploring, enacting and sharing your creativity. 📚💙

Spending a peaceful Sunday celebrating books and the importance of reading and writing. In this regard, I'm sharing a favourite passage from Sagan's Cosmos. ✨Books are indeed proof that humans work magic.✨ #Booksky #WritingCommunity #Booklovers 💙📚🪐

The saying, "No two snowflakes are alike," is true. While there may be exceptions, every snowflake is formed and affected by the atmosphere differently and follows its own path, and is therefore, unique. Sharing the beauty of Bentley's early snowflake microphotography via @openculture.bsky.social

✨Monday Mood✨ Sharing an inspiring letter written by the incomparable E.B. White. “Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.” —E.B. White #Booksky #WritingCommunity #Authorsky 💙📚

Grateful for the many blessings in my life, for family and friends, and for the new acquaintances on Bluesky and #Booksky 💙📚 To all who partake, Happy Thanksgiving!

There's nothing more magical and fascinating than viewing the original work and artistry of a master storyteller. This one is truly a wonder.✨ #Booksky #ClassicBooks #Booklovers #AliceinWonderland 💙📚🪐

✨Sunday Love✨ Another prose treasure written by Gerhard. @oevermann.bsky.social #Poetry #Poetsky 💙📚

Happy Sunday, everyone! Love this photo a friend sent to me and said, "Mornings may not always be magical, but STARLIGHT certainly is." 🙂 #BookLovers #ReadingisMagical #Booksky 💙📚 🪐

✨Even if it's only the last dream of my soul.✨ #Booksky #CharlesDickens #ATaleofTwoCities 📚💙

Whilst I concede that texting is “convenient”, I much prefer all correspondence to be in the form of a handwritten letter composed on an oak desk by candlelight with a quill dipped into a bottle of ink, enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal, and sent via raven.

Saturday inspiration. In every story (as in life) there's a moment when the hero fails or falls down, when mistakes are made, and faith is tested. That's when courage and hope rises and shines, leading the way out of darkness. Keep the faith and shine. #PowerofStory #Booksky 📚💙

My guilty chuckle for the day. 😂 (Thanks for the share, [email protected] ).

According to 2025 reports, Stephen King is the most banned author in U.S. schools. Others include: Judy Blume, George Orwell, Jodi Picoult, Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, & Sarah J. Maas. Parental supervision is a good thing; book bans endanger freedom of speech & expression. #BannedBooksWeek 🪐📚💙

Farewell and Godspeed, Dame Commander. ✨

The first step on the path to knowledge, creativity, and comprehension begins by simply reading to and exposing children to wonderful books. 📚💙 #Booksky

"Free speech for me, but not for thee" isn't Freedom of Speech or Expression as guaranteed by the Constitution, and corporate cooperation in silencing the truth—or ideas, criticisms, and viewpoints that may not please a regime to increase their profits and monopolies, will affect everyone. 🎥📚💙

Sad to hear about the passing of Charles Robert Redford. He was the ultimate actor, director, film and environmental steward. We shall never see his like again. #Storytellers #RobertRedford #EnvironmentalSteward #Filmsky #Booksky 🎥📚💙

Everyone has their own voice, a certain style, and a unique rhythm. No matter what it is that you write or whether it is published or not, stay true to your instincts and write for yourself. #WritingCommunity #Writesky #Booksky 💙📚

Truly enjoy everyone's work. Thought I'd share a WIP entitled "Girl on A Swing" for today's #vss365 prompt, inspired by Maxfield Parrish's "Girl on A Swing," 1905-06. Just some thoughts, really... P.S. May everyone have a peaceful weekend. #writing #vss365 #prompt for June 20th #parallel

Both Winter & Summer Solstice are expressions of hope, the wonder of nature, and that light shall overcome darkness. In honour of #SummerSolstice, I'm sharing talented artist, illustrator, & author Angela Porter's art. Plus, Zukav's quote sums it up nicely. #Inspiration 📚💙🎨 Source: artwyrd.com

Friday Favourite. This quote has always been a fabulous reminder that no matter how tough it gets—whatever we set out to do, our intention will see us through. #Inspiration #Writing #Creativity #BookLove 📚💙🎨

Love this post. One of my lifelong beliefs is that there is always time to be kind.

Truly grateful to everyone across the U.S. and the world who stood up today with courage and unity to reject authoritarian oligarchs, despots, dictators, and tyranny. #NoKIngs

Alas, have no idea who created this art for #PrideMonth, but wish to share it to show my respect for everyone. Everyone is welcome here. Happy Pride Month! (P.S. If you know the artist, please leave credit in the comments).

A lovely piece of prose and a wondrous photograph of The Witness Tree by Gerhard. @oevermann.bsky.social #Poetsky #poetry #Booksky 📚💙

I long to go down to the sea, to the waters of memory, and feel the brine on my cheek, but I recall the haunting thoughts I dare not speak. The lavender sea of my youth brings an unbidden tear for all that is good, for all that is lost, and all that we hold dear. #vss365 #writingprompt #brine

Monday inspiration is a lovely graphic illustration of a quote by Thích Nhất Hạnh created by artist Katie Daisy, katiedaisy.com Whatever we set out to do—write a poem, read a book, finish a novel, plant flowers, paint a picture... Remember, everything is possible. #Authorsky #Writing #Booksky 📚💙

While Democracy is endangered in the U.S., His Majesty King Charles III rebukes the regime and reminds us, "The Truth North is indeed strong and free." May we heed his words and protect Democracy. Without it—our freedom of speech and expression will be lost. #Booksky #Authorsky #Resist 📚💙

When writing STARLIGHT, I thought of how we are made of the stars. Our journey is a cosmic story, one filled with constellations of thoughts, emotions, needs, and desires. I drew from a well of influences and inspiration, including Carl Sagan, a wizard of space and time. #Booksky #Inspiration 🪐📚💙

This magical fairy tale painting, entitled Midsummer Eve (1908) by Edward Robert Hughes, has always fascinated me. Inspired by Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, it was featured on a book cover in a collection my father kept in his library when I was child. #Artsky #Booksky #Inspiration 🪐📚💙
