lol twas thinking wow this ridge sure is windy moments before passing by windy ridge ranch 🤭 I love being so easily delighted. ☺️

Shame on the Riverside voters who supported “sheriff” Bianco’s election. He hates children. He’s a sadist. Shameful. #California #riverside #bolicebrutality #BiancoisanAhole #pinks

Rubia tinctorum #poetry

Duck feeds grain from the tray to the fishes instead of eating alone. 😍

#vss365 #prompt for 15 May 2026 is #forgiveness I smile as you hug me from behind the morning after a nightlong argument this is your way of saying sorry and mine is to hug you back our wordless exchange of forgiveness makes our love deeper

#vss365 #Forgiveness didn’t ask her to forget. It just asked her to feel him. Really feel him— standing there, afraid and present, choosing her anyway. She reached for the flowers. That was enough. That was everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“I am awaiting perpetually & forever a renaissance of wonder” 💕

Good morning, #writingcommunity and #poetry lovers 📚💙 Here’s your weekly #poetrybrew ☕️✨ and here’s to taking it all. 🍃 “Instructions on Not Giving Up” by Ada Limón

#vss365 #fleeting never planned on sharing this, but I sure do love the ending 😌

There’s a ghost that #haunted me Told me I’d never be free But fragile egos cannot separate accountability from the collapse of their identity. #vss365

- it has not rained for weeks - your roses have wilted i prick my finger daily trying to coax them back, how they love to bleed in service of purpose two doves coo beneath the juniper you loved so much death shall pass me by tonight - #vss365 #poetry 🥀

#vss365 #prompt for 6 May 2026 is #moonbeam clasping your elbow, with my head resting on your shoulder, we bathe in moonbeams, sitting on the terrace, listening to the song of the silent night

Also a big case of “the only thing I pay attention to are the things that upset me.”

Good morning and happy Cinco de Mayo to all. El Jefe de Covfefe has done more to punish Jimmy Kimmel over a joke and James Comey for a photo of seashells than he has to punish the 300+ powerful politicians, celebrities and wealthy businessmen in the Epstein files who raped children. ¡Chinga a Trump!

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

#vss365 Little amatorculist, pretender to #affection, architect of almost. Busy, of course. Impressively, importantly busy. Calendared to capacity with reasons he couldn’t. And yet— mysteriously available to tell you what you weren’t doing right.

Was it ever really love? Or did you just like the way my #name caresses your tongue, how my hips answered your pull, the way I slipped so easily into whatever shape you asked of me? #vss365 #name #poetrysky

Yes I do read 800 page books. But if your email to me goes to a third paragraph, forget about it.

“D&D is a space to play, to formulate, to waste time. We need more spaces to come together and imagine other worlds.” Scott Hudson on unproductive play as a subversive act.

Beautiful non-utility is everything 🥰

It’ll be gay marriage next. Then interracial marriage. Then segregated schools. They’re already working on that. Then whites only public spaces. They’ve already re-segregated the federal work force by firing as many Black people as they could.

Wild Things Not all #lions roar. Some of them just show up and remind you what love feels like. But I keep thinking about my bear. How close yet lost we always were. Expecting change without changing. Waiting to be loved without risking it. The loop goes on. #vss365 #poem

Over 50% of American adults can't read above a 6th grade reading level, and this is an absolutely catastrophic civil rights crisis with implications for every facet of individual and collective life, including processing political statements by politicians, doctors, and so on

smoking that shit that heralds the end of a nation

I love these wild grapes I found earlier. Reminds me that some days I’m the grapes, but today I’m very much the blackberry vine; thorny and tired and just trying to be, and somehow that was still enough to be somebody’s trellis, and I am so grateful for a community that lets that be enough. 😌

Well, today was great until I experienced first hand the sound of bunnies dying at the beaks of blue jays. And my kitty wants outside so badly 😭🙃 I’d rescue the rest of the bunnies but what to do with them? At least my deity tea was lovely— creating a space for connection was pretty special. ☺️

Tomorrow is the day! & I just keep reminding myself that nervousness and excitement feel the same in the body— it’s just all about perspective, and godsdamnit, I will be excited. I will. 😬

Can we talk about the men who perform the loudest outrage about 🍇 culture online, while the people they've personally threatened are watching? Because it's one of the most disorienting things to witness. How do you even process that? I didn’t even realize how unsafe I still felt about it until now.

… I folded the silence instead, kept it in the drawer where your #letter would have lived. #vss365

the possibilities are not boundless they never were yet i thread the symptoms together the dreamer dreams turns breathes here is an endless ocean here are the mountains that kiss the stars here are two lovers fated to touch subjective inevitability #UnchainedSymphonies

Post a picture of yourself as a doctor.

I was reading a great book today and it said something along the lines of, "it's okay to neglect your responsibilities if it saves your life because if you die the responsibilities are still there. You aren't." Just wanted to share. Take care of yourself. #booksky #mentalhealth

I wanted to hold the sun but was afraid of being burnt. So I watched from my window, palms to the glass. The moon was lovely too— but she never warmed me the way I knew the sun would have. Had I only been brave enough to bask. #poetrysky

#vss365 #UnsentLetters It’s strange how your #letters can hold such intense feeling long after you‘ve been gone.

Warm peanut butter cookies taste like everything is going to work out in the end, and the criss crosses are so satisfying to make. 🤗

Forever Wars help evil people to Avoid Accountability…. “Netanyahu Criminal Trial Will Resume After Iran Ceasefire—But He Wants To Delay Testimony" One wants to delay his trial, one wants to deflect from Epstein. Neither cares about their country.

“There are many reasons to treat each /other with great tenderness. One is / the sheer miracle that we are here together / on a planet surrounded by dying stars. / One is that we cannot see what / anyone else has swallowed.”

The real story of smallpox vaccination begins not with Sarah Nelmes (the milkmaid in question), or Jenner, or James Phipps, or Benjamin Jesty but with Turkish folk practitioners of variolation, enslaved people like Onesimus, and Indian variolators. There would be no vaccination without variolation.

not sure i would’ve gotten through this week emotionally without artemis ii

The self awareness people perform and the self awareness people actually practice are two very different things. I think I’m finally making peace with that. 💕

Brutal.

three weeks until our first deity tea! tea is brewing, clay is drying, and spots are filling up fast. join us— the table was set for you.

The hypermobile joy of realizing your dominant shoulder has been partially dislocated for years. 🙃

He started a war, didn’t know how to win it, was immediately over his head, became quickly overpowered by an enemy he vastly underestimated, and now is trying to sue for peace and then convince you that this was a victory. Dying empires produce leaders like this

I love serendipity! Ordered kids work gloves and received two similar looking, but very different gloves. Replacement sent, same thing…except the mismatched gloves coordinate so now we have two pairs with matching construction and leather weight and it is just so neat when things works out so well ☺️
