Title: Cascading Calm This picture is one of the earliest photos I ever took that I was super proud of! It’s 1 of the first 5 photos I ever made as a photo print. 😍 📸: July 2023 #photography #photographer #disabled #disability #coxarboretum #daytonohio #canon #canoncamera #nature #naturephoto

1 espresso, 2 espresso, Strong espresso, new espresso. Hot shot, cold shot, Bold shot, old shot. Sip it slow, drink it fast, Feel the buzz—it doesn’t last! One more cup? Why not two? Espresso here, for me and you!

Our main drip coffee machine went out on us this morning 😓 praying it’s an easy (and cheap) fix!

Life is short… you deserve joy. And good coffee.

Poetry nights here are always so inspiring. Dayton’s got suuuuuch talented writers

The good news is, our new seasonal drinks are here and are — my unbiased opinion — incredible

Big thanks to @blueskycoffeedyt.bsky.social for these pics! 🫶🏻

Getting all set up at Blue Sky Coffee! These pics are just off my phone, camera photos will be coming in the next few days! @blueskycoffeedyt.bsky.social #photography #photographer #disabled #disability #nature #naturephotos #naturephotography #canon #canoncamera #canonphotography #photoprints

Been thinking about the coffee “alternatives” I’ve been seeing, like mushroom coffee, fig coffee, chick pea coffee. How do we feel about these? #coffeesky #coffeefeed #coffeechat

"The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a mans heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." ~Albert Camus (the absurd reasoning)

"Higher intake of caffeinated #coffee, particularly the unsweetened variety, was associated with reduced risks of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and Parkinson's disease, but not sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened coffee." www.sciencealert.com/study-finds-...

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Tag yourself

Every sip of coffee is a moment to recharge, refocus, and keep moving forward. Let’s brew some kindness and caffeinate connectivity #coffeesky #coffeefeed #kindness #coffeelover

The hardest part about running a coffee shop, is getting everything set up in the early morning, before having coffee

Drawing on our walls, the pictures come to life! #coffeesky #artsky #creatives

You can draw/write on every single wall in our shop. It’s so fun seeing what people make! #art #coffeesky #artists #artsky #scetching #creative #heart

Good Sunday morning Wishing you a day of new possibilities and renewed hope...

In a porcelain embrace, it lies, A gentle brew beneath the skies. Whispers of herbs, a fragrant stream, A liquid warmth, a waking dream. From leaf to cup, a journey steeped, In quiet moments, solace keeps. Tea, a balm for weary hearts, A simple joy, where peace imparts. #teatime #poetrysky #coffee

David Lynch and coffee, in a piece by @sprobeforebros.bsky.social in @sprudge.bsky.social from 2023: sprudge.com/david-lynch-... #CoffeeSky #CoffeeFeed

How cold outside is “too cold” to order an iced latte?

Reminds me of the poem by Gary Snyder “There are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea.”

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Nothing beats the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the buzz of community conversations😌

Just hosted our first silent book club. What a blast! So many good books, people, drinks, and conversation. Can’t wait for our next on 2/3! #daytonohio #booksky #bookclub #coffeesky

I have Harry Styles stuck in my head, but instead of Strawberries, he’s singing: 🎵 Tastes like coffee…on a winter morning🎶

Steam rises softly, Morning whispers through the cup, A new day begins. #poetry #coffee #mornings

What do you do about post-coffee breath and overall mouth health? We discovered this new Ohio-based mint company that developed specifically to solve that issue! We’re excited to partner with them this month giving away tins all month long! #coffeesky #daytonohio #coffeefeed

What is something you are thankful for today? For me it's having a home I feel safe and loved in.

Replacing “see you later!” with “see you latte!” until someone notices

I know it may not seem like it sometimes, but if you’re a writer, painter, sculptor, comedian, DM/GM, craftsperson, etc… You’re an artist. Even if you think your work is “bad,” it’s still art, and that act of creation is never a waste.

Why are coffee beans such troublemakers? Because they always get grounded! #coffeesky #dayton #coffeebeans

"Back in my day we didn't have all this autism." We didn't discover Antarctica until 1820 but that has always been there too.

Some days it’s a 1 cappuccino kinda day. Other days it’s a 5 cold brews and 6 shots of espresso kind of day. Today is the latter

If I had to recommend 3 things to writers (at all levels), I would start with these 3 (with options for adding more): 1. Be persistent. 2. Be curious about the world, people, history, everything. Expand your horizons. Curiosity is your soil, your ocean, your rock, your air. 3. Never stop learning.

Drinking coffee is just part of my daily grind.

Dayton folks!
