Northern Flicker. I know your habitat, call, nesting habits. But I know not your name, which your lover called and called, though you could not get up. Maybe if I had learned it, I could have saved you. Who can teach the language that will save us all? #nature #poetry #death #vss #poem #writing

"Check the action on this bad boy." -cocks gun- "Bad boy? That's a bad girl, mate." "What? What...do you mean?" "Yeah, no, for sure, I mean, look." -points- "I uhh..."-looks- "I...don't see it." "LOOK." -looks more- "You really gotta get in there. Closer." -slap- "Hey!" "Idiot." #vss365 #action

I'm not enough for this world. Not cruel enough. Not hard enough. Not thirsty enough for the taste of blood. I have spilled my own blood, but it wasn't I who drank it. I guess it soaked into the earth and it's still there waiting for me to join it. Not yet. #writing #poem #poetry #depression

If #reality bites does that make it a vampire or a leech? A cat bit me once, bad. I scared her accidentally. I was only 10 or so. She chased me down the block Is reality a parasite or is it just trying to protect itself? Don't startle reality, it might bite back. #vss365

Added this to my read pile today. Moon, Sun, and Witches: Gender Ideologies and Class in Inca and Colonial Peru -Irene Marsha Silverblatt #booksky #history #feminism #genderstudies #gender #witchcraft #reads

Magic, my birth right yours too Is just #science. Locked in Bluebeard's tower. But many hands are picking the lock, now. The wife of Prometheus hid in that terrible room. You've never heard of her but her husband is famous, unkillable, She's been holding a fistful of fire for 1000 years. #vss365

Let me be the first to say that @trashphalt.beauty 's new haircut looks super adorable and gorgeous 😍 and maybe she will bless us with a pic.

I am looking for poems or pieces to read for a Trans Day of Remembrance ceremony, does anyone have any recommendations? #trans #lgbt+ #tdor #poetry #poems #writing

I have nothing normal to say about literature that hasn't already been said. I could get crazy with it. #Literature? More like cliterature, bro can't find it without help and when he does he doesn't know what to do with it. What do you mean Fight Club isn't an aspirational tale? #vss365

My next read. The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: Vol. 1: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island #booksky #read #reading #nonfiction #lgbt+reads

Historical figures you hate? I'll go first- Descartes. #philosophy #history

Chicken Marsala, a first for me, but for sure, not a last. #cooking 🍜 #food

"Making history" as though it's bread to be broken and shared as spoils and not a moving, breathing thing. History, the largest living organism, measures not in distance covered but it's unbroken temporality. From "now" to "back then", the best way to travel, is, books. #vss365 #history

Daily Batty What's he thinking? Wrong answers only. (Because no one can truly know the mind of a cat so we're all wrong in advance). #catsofbluesky #cats #blackcats #cute

Earth drew her map with the quills of living birds - described shorelines, air currents, hedgerows and tree lines. Migrating Elk write tracks, now the wolf's border, now the bear's. We took her pen and dipped it in blood to hold the borders still. #Geography is written by the conqueror. #vss365

Why don't I become #famous so I can hate it Why don't I become adored and scorned, different from now ignored, bored, and a little sore about the whole damn thing Why don't I stop dredging up painful dark truths and say the line "And they lived happily ever after." Famously boring. #vss365 #poetry

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #BookSky #bookchallenge #readingchallenge #readingcommunity #booktok #bookish #books

To know without context is the hand grasping for the line, the shadow, the feeling The hand is small and unconnected to a body, yet It was not given lessons on love, it was born to follow the curve of a smile and return it #Education passes or fails The hand still grasps but knows not why #vss365

In order to get the proletarians back under control in the wake of the golden age of workers (post successful peasant revolt) in the 1500's the government of France legalized rape against proletariat women in order to pit the working class against each other and weaken them.

One writer to another, I invite you to write a haiku about my cat. His name is Batty. #blackcats #writingcommunity

#Creatures whose existence is disputed: -Birds -Cryptids -Mother Earth -A Good Billionaire -The Forgiving Ghost -Jesus, the real one, who was extremely gay and a socialist. -Me, but only disputed by myself at 1am, by the morning I am somewhat confident I do exist. #vss365

The blackberries were so big I could only fit a few in my hands before gently laying them into the basket. It smells like flowers, honey, and sweet dark wine. The pride of this season's growth, here, I am grateful. So I swear to care for this hedge, as it cares for me. #write #food #gardening

It's Batty's 2nd birthday! Mischief Night suits him very much. Likes: Hair elastics Pipe cleaners (I stg he can smell them. He's banned from them but if there's a stray one in the house he will find it) Strawberry cat toys Morning cuddles Happy drooling Attacking feet Showers #blackcats #cats

Ray of life. Conceptually, a dark seed. Until I stretched out in all directions and screamed from the pain of once being infinite possibilities Now, narrowed down to a line that continues indefinitely in one direction. #vss365 #ray #poetry

Melted tin simmered in the crucible on the table, bathed by full moonlight coming through the open window. The alchemist muttered, possessed, "Lunam turn stagnum ad argentum!" Lunar moths were thrown in the molten metal, to turn tin to silver. The moon wept and hid her face. #vss365 #argent

If I could write something that would get me a deal Recognition A medal to hang that says, "#1 Not Imposter, Definitely Worth Reading" My words would still be dark, disjointed, too weird, and give splinters. I would never wear that medal or believe it anyway. But I can't stop. #writingcommunity

High school is an #experiment. A petri dish of confused multi-celled organisms reaching out with anxious tendrils, slapped away, cradling the child with one broken arm and laughing outward. Query: What happens to the wide-eyed child? Conclusion: Close your eyes and bark. #vss365

Spring, Year 1101 Can you drown on dry land? Mist began to feel like a living thing, creeping down the mountains as ice melted. A silver white hand wrapping around trees and boulders, clawing down the throat and into the lungs, sprouting fungus. Still, the rain did not end. #vss365 #creep

Looking toward the teeth of the mountain I see a star held between canines In this absence of light named Night, in this darkest moment, touched only by the eyes of those who eat the moon's madness, she is the fleeting jewel set heliacal on the spines of first sunlight. #vss365 #heliacal

Black and white of me from a lifetime ago. #photography #b&w #winter

The terror of a place lives in its soil and vines. Spiritus Loci pressed into wine and drunk, releasing violence, blood and stories, making us ill, head aches, heaving to be rid of the possession, haunted by something dark that tells its tales in our very bodies. #vss365 #terror

It is not alien behavior for man to worship the ruler of the planet Mars; the God of War, the ever expanding, the licker of blood. Did we bestow our own attributes on imaginary Martians as justification for the conquest of the universe? #vss365 #martian

This looks like an amazing, cozy autumn read. And what a good cover.

Baron Batrick "Batty" LeBelfry sternly surveys his kingdom like the noble, yet somewhat bloodthirsty, ruler that he is. #cats #blackcats #catsky #autumn

“We're closer than the branches of the same tree. Even if we're separated, even if we die, we'll still be together, so nothing can make me lonely anymore. Now I only pray he'll find the way he's searching for.” -(Novel)Musashi, Eiji Yoshikawa- #novel #japan #love #historicalfiction #quotes

Pulled pork, braised potatoes, restaurant style slaw. Veggies from the farm stand, nothing tastes better this time of year than local produce. #food

A walk: from the perspective of my 7 year old. I love the photos they take, they have an effortless charm that makes them interesting and touches my heart. #photography #flowers
