FYI I have transitioned from my regularly scheduled insufferability to Taylor Swift album drop gargoyle brain abomination mode for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #taylorswift #thelifeofashowgirl

I just want to eat strawberries and read books in a world where everyone is safe. Instead I explain the difference between racism and prejudice and witness the aftermath of what bombs do to human bodies. #humanrights #wedeservebetter

so bizarre to watch a physics program from before the Higgs boson was discovered. #physics #higgsboson #higgsfield

i’ve spent over half my life listening to @brighteyesband.bsky.social and i’ll spend the rest doing the same. #brighteyes #conoroberst #somethingvague #poetry

When our mouths met, I tasted it— the grudge on your lips. The first omen wasn’t poison, just the way that you kissed. Our bodies made language, our mouths filled with flames— if only fire had soft things to say. excerpt, ‘the taking light’ #poetry #poetsofbluesky #poem #writingcommunity

excerpt, “pretty little labor machine” I gave up wishing on stars, In favor of engineering your dreams— white picket fence, a pretty little labor machine. Made babies and forgot I was supposed to eat. Became just another way to transfer heat. #poetsofbluesky #poetry #poem #emotionalphysics

poems my alter ego is working on: dear gravity (you heavy bitch) to my 12th house (landlord from hell) dear chaos witch (valentine from a parallel dimension) dear literary journal editor (i have submitted my entire personality, again) #absurdpoetry #poetsofbluesky #poem #poetry #astrology #science

I write grief like it’s a scientific method. this one is the control variable. from my manuscript-in-progress: emotional physics. #poetry #poetsofbluesky #experimental #writingcommunity #poet #hybridpoetry #emotionalphysics #authors #books

#Like this if you’d #read #poetry about a #Gemini moon exiled to the 12th house, working doubles at a haunted Cheesecake Factory where she argues with ancient gods in the walk-in, dodges cryptic texts from the #zodiac #groupchat, and gets spiritually subtweeted by her #exes in the astral plane.

Words are weapons. #poetsky #poet #politicalpoetry #resistancepoetry #politics #us #poetry

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

More of this, America.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

Excerpt, “apogee, perigee” #poem #poetry #poet #writing #writer #poetsky

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

#Mississippi doesn’t want to deport #immigrants, they want to pay bounty hunters to capture them, and then imprison (enslave) them for LIFE. Mississippi prisons run FARMS. #prisonlabor #modernslavery #humanrights

Excerpt, “july, immortal” I welcome constructive criticism, I’d be grateful to hear your thoughts. #poem #poet #poetry #critique #poetrycommunity #writing #poetsky #ohiopoets

Last night, you were tucked warm under her sheets— while I swallowed fire, the pressure making diamonds of my teeth. Images of you spiraling into a hotel bed went spiraling through my head— Is she my equal or opposite? I perspire in infrared. (Excerpt, the weak interaction) #poem #poet #poetry

#Rereading 1984 to stay ahead on the #news bc at this point Orwell’s just giving us spoilers. Doublethink? #MAGA has it mastered. Newspeak? Sounds like his truth social drafts. Room 101? Probably filled with Diet Coke, classified documents, and a case of w/e #weird ass shade of foundation he wears.

I’m still hanging on, Listening to all our songs— Every iteration does damage double. If I could empty my head, like a gun empties lead, Maybe I could save myself a lot of trouble. (Excerpt) #poem #poetry #poet #poetrysky

#booksky people, I just want you to know that when I see y’all’s gorgeous, perfectly curated, bookshelves I am both happy for you and consumed with envy. My poor #books are haphazardly stacked, double parked, or homeless and I have a lot of guilt about that. #📚 #reader #tbr

That feeling when you remember #borders are imaginary lines we drew on maps and we have the ability to provide a decent standard of living to literally everyone on #Earth, while reducing environmental damage but we don’t bc won’t someone think of the #billionares and the #shareholders!

#question What’s your favorite #quote from a #book? Whether it’s something profound, comforting, or just beautifully written, I’d love to know the lines that have stuck with you. Share your favorites in the comments! #booksky #📚 #reader

“ #Fascism is #capitalism in decay.” – Vladimir Lenin (debated)

So my skin finally cleared up after a #breakout, but I can’t even enjoy it because I’m currently dying of consumption like a tragic Victorian cat lady. Someone bring me a fainting couch, a fistful of kleenex, and some #tea. Think of me fondly from time to time when I’m gone. #fluseason #dramatics

I #write to spite exhaustion, my mind is a zealot. Waging war in #lines on paper, my hand-stitched delusions surrender. I can’t tell if I’m #healing, or just getting better— at arming myself with obscure #metaphor, and beguiling the messenger. (Excerpt) #poem #poetry #poet

#poem with @goruckusgo.bsky.social P2 Your warmth commands me, I sway in your circle. I am defiant in my mortality— You’re nonverbal, Orbiting the weight of your own maladies, Fear is inertial. Return to perigee with me, Shed your armor of apathy. Learn to let it be, Everything is symmetry.

Hi! I’d love to create a starter pack to connect poets and poetry lovers. Please let me know if you’d like to join— I need at least 7 people to make one. #poets #poetry #writtenword #poetsky #writers

Space. I’ve seen enough horror movies to know the ocean is just space but wetter and with more teeth. #space #ocean

I refuse to believe my cat has zero concept of taxes. She looks so stressed sometimes. #cat #catsky #cattax

“The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the means to its own destruction.” #democracy

Real quick, can anyone tell me what the fuck? #roseannebarr youtu.be/nb7fAEQaJwE?...

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” Often attributed to Sinclair Lewis, but its origins remain unverified. #quote #fascism #usa

There’s a lot of inconsistency in what users are able to comment/search on #TikTok. Some report being unable to get hits on search terms related to “ #Trump rigged election” (I was able to) Similarly, I couldn’t comment #freeLuigi though I found comments from today that were not removed. #censorship

Don’t bend the knee. It won’t go as well as you believe. Don’t bow down to the fascist clown, who believes he’s wearing an anointed crown. Don’t do the fascist dance. Don’t obey in advance. #booksky #poetry #poet #FascistDance

Y’all, I was right- the vibes on TikTok are rotten. ‘Free Luigi’ comments used to be everywhere, but now? Boom, instant removal. Luigi’s not free, and neither are we. TikTok is the bad place. #tiktok #censorship #thebadplace

In honor of #sethcapella, here’s a secret time: I often make tea just so I can dunk the little lotus biscuits in it. #zodiacacademy #booksky #📚

Reposting this like she wasn’t talking to me ✋🏻😭 #booksky #📚

“The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power.” Shakespeare, William. Julius Caesar, Act 2, Scene 1.

Republicans are about to go from “America must ban TikTok” to “America must buy TikTok” because of fucking course they are.

Where the poets at? I yap a lot, but it’s just a clever disguise for my crippling anxiety and overwhelming fear of rejection. Let’s connect - gently, like two nervous cats circling each other. #poets #poetsky

So what are our grandkids supposed to say when someone on the school playground tells them to ‘shut up,’ and they can’t clap back with ‘this is a free country’? I know, bold of me to assume there’ll be a playground. Or a school. Or a planet.

Can we stop pretending the US isn’t an oligarchy? Elonia’s basically running for president of Mars and Zuckerberg bought up free speech like it was on clearance at a Nordstrom rack.

So TikTok is back, but the vibes are giving “maga cookout hosted by a crypto bro” cursed energy. I’ll just be here on Bluesky where the weirdness feels intentional. 🖤 #thevibesareoff

Middletown is putting up J.D. Vance signs like it’s Disney World, but the theme is generational trauma and bad takes. I live in hillbilly hell.

As a Scorpio, I’m legally required to ask: What are your favorite revenge plot books? And if they’re smutty, consider it extra credit. #booksky #📚
