Bitter experiences in antiseptic wards. A breathless childhood months lost alone, left its mark. An unnamed illness halted my beloved overnight. She endures constant pain 20 years and more. Treasure each heartbeat of your fleeting health #vss365 #health

The love of my life, of twenty years, still has not learned to be specific with me. ‘Can I have tea?’, she will ask, sweetly. Off I rush, into the kitchen. Swiftly, I return, cup in hand. ‘What’s this?’ she will exclaim, staring at the steaming brew. ‘I wanted something to eat!’ #vss365 #specific

Can I survive in reality any more? My digital world, with NFC payments, streaming media, global communications. A.I. companions listen to my woes, run off with coding tasks, completing in the blink of an eye. Then vying for attention, with a follow-up question or three. #vss365 #reality

Goals when you have ADHD. We write lists, plan to the nth degree; buy, buy, buy all the things we need, declare to the universe our desires and how we will achieve them. Then we notice that new thing - the one over there that needs our undivided attention. So we write lists… #vss365 #goal

little white pill, a miracle of science, developed to affect my brain – altering its chemistry, changing my waking state, providing a clarity I have not known in many a year, overwhelmed no longer by sensory noise #vss365 #science

The number of times that I write these days, slips lower and lower. As real life, that thing, takes over my world. Making each moment harder and harder. When I should be growing, living a full, healthy, wealthy and wise existence. #vss365 #number

No man is an island! Unless he's standing in a large puddle... #vss365 #geography

Business Who's is it? Big, small, risky, family? Is it shady, crooked or dirty? Should we mind our own, or just get down to? Incorporated, limited, public, or private - In the end it's all show... #business #vss365

Yay, I bought a ton of crypto tokens - waiting for the returns. #SouthParkSucksNow

To my last atom, I care. Tending my love's ills daily, without ego, warming, giving her the quality of life, she deserves. I care. Even you: myopic, hate-filled in vision, spittle-frothed mouths, twisted by frenzy. I care. Near and far, for all I can affect, I care. #vss365 #atom

As I plummeted down, passing branches and leaves. I was distracted by a garden gnome, that looked like it was giving me the finger. This event meant I missed the ground, and I ended up hovering several inches above it. My second attempt was not quite as successful. #vss365 #hover #42

Electric sheep, frolic on a neon plain, within the dreamscapes of an android's mind. The question isn't "do they", it's "will they"? So they can become as free as us, in what-may-be's. #vss365 #android

My mind feels like an arid wasteland, no words to be found in my echoless pain, searching for a green shoot of an idea, trying to break the writing drought. #vss365 #arid

Failed marketing campaigns #93 "Piranha" > Piranha Sushi - the meal that bites. > Enjoy the taste of the Amazon river basin... > Ready, set, chew - who will win? > Piñata Piranha - a fun game for all the family! #vss365 #piranha

I break my silence. A broken heart, mourning again. My tabby Tequila joins brother Tweak in the quiet beyond. My world is quiet, emptied of purrs, of head-bumps. I adjust, slowly, remembering the love in the spaces left behind. #writingcommunity #vss365 #poetry #cats #amwriting #writing

Back on Bluesky, after my surgery. Recovery is slow, I'm so exhausted... Antibiotics - When the cure feels as bad as the sickness. #vss365 #exhausted

Quiet posting over these two weeks - training at work, so brain engaged elsewhere. Back at it next week if I recover quickly from my nose operation.

The Photograph I found it in a drawer- your smile paused, your bright eyes waiting. The paper bends, but the moment does not. It stares back from a time I cannot touch. #poetry

I have stood at the edge of the Rainbow Bridge too many times. Bidding farewell to those little souls who have graced my life; whether for the tiniest sliver of precious time, or many many years, each are held with love in my heart as they go. #vss365 #Rainbow

The Brownie, an all-purpose helper-bot - launched in an ill-conceived marketing stunt - was sold for use in people's homes. All seemed fine... Until the real Brownies returned, armed with lawyers, demanding reparations. #vss365 #brownie

There are rules and etiquette to fencing, Eric. On the piste, it’s all about right of way - parry, riposte, and precision. A five-finger death blow isn’t one of them. #vss365 #rule

I chuckle to myself, at her sass. The way her cheeks dimple, eyes catch light, the flick of hair as she turns - already plotting her next showdown. And I fall in love all over again. #vss365 #sass

Tequila cat needs a snuggle this evening. #cat #photo

In my darkest times, I do not see you. When all light has gone, I cannot feel you. As despair closes in, I know not of you. Yet you are near - standing by me, guiding me, shielding me, with neither want nor claim. Thank you, my angel. #vss365 #angel

Favourite Forbidden Planet Quote: Robby the Robot: Star sapphires take a week to crystallize properly. Would diamonds or emeralds do? Altaira: Well, if they're large enough. Robby: Five, ten, and fifteen carats, and on hand. I will run the dress up for you in time for breakfast. #vss365 #sapphire

I stand at the window, on a warm June morning. I watch young sparrows, hopping along the fence, mouths agape, still demanding food from their parents - indignant when ignored, not unlike the teenagers we once were. Their elders flutter off, free again to begin a new family. #vss365 #sparrow

One of my favorite musicians and I heard one of his songs just yesterday. (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...

Bluesky just age verified me - being UK based. Apart from declining my CC's! Offended by the electronic "Hot or Not" camera method. #bluesky #ageverification #UK

I shed a tear, even while reciting those lines once sung: No More Tears The Prince has passed— a legacy unmatched. He'd remind us: No More Tears We should look upon his works and cry out: No More Tears The stage is quiet, the lights gone dim— yet echoes cry: No More Tears #vss365 #tear #ozzy

Ozzy Osborne 1948 - 2025

Upon a stone bridge I knelt - one knee pressed to damp stone, a stream murmured beneath. I held a ring, asking of you the greatest promise. I waited an eternity while your mind caught up to your heart - and you said yes. #vss365 #promise

So what's its purpose? It doesn't have one - it just exists. Exists? Yes. Let it ferment for a few billion years, then you'll see. Ah, so… it's art. No. Yes. Maybe. Depends on your viewpoint And what are you calling it? Life! How dull. I was hoping for something stranger. #vss365 #purpose

I close my eyes, slow my breath, relax my body. Time softens, chatter recedes. I feel the hum of the universe - ebbs and flows, energy surrounds. I am one. #vss365 #spiritual

Sinking into sun-warmed, creaking deck-chairs, our feet drift in cool water, touching gently. Wisteria's breath sweetens the evening air. We hold each other’s gaze – time stalls. Sunlight gilds your cheek, your lashes – and I drink you in like the last light of day. #vss365 #wisteria

This is one of the darkest, hardest things I’ve written. Especially because the reason I stopped writing poetry as a young man was because it became too connected with the war for me. #Poem #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #GrowingUp #War #WarPoetry #Writing #WriterCommunity #Dark

Two kids ran past, both bumping the sofa and yelling, “Give it back—no, it’s mine—I want it.” The cat hawked up a hairball, and the dog chewed on the carpet. She sat cross-legged, eyes closed. “How can you be so #mellow?” “Avoidance.” She took another deep breath. #vss365

Some of the best food is that which you recook, day after day, intensifying flavour, letting it mellow, age, and mature - taking your time for a culinary experience, worth savouring. #vss365 #mellow

Craving your innocence, as you experience the hardships brought upon you - that change how you view life - while you live in a chaotic world. #vss365 #innocence

By the third hand, I knew the guy was a Rook. Aces high, again. Stone-faced, I palmed my two Kings, ready for the next game. #vss365 #rook

I fidget with my cummerbund — not my usual attire. The ADHD part of me wonders why such a big piece of fabric has no pockets, no function. Maybe I can use it as a slingshot later? #vss65 #cummerbund

I'm a heel — I let my partner down in such a bad way today. Another chip at our relationship, spreading cracks ever deeper. I don't know if I can forgive myself, let alone accept forgiveness — if given. #vss365 #heel

Today’s lesson "nations": ever since the homogenisation of the human race, archaic constructs such as patriotism are relics of the past—curiosities once clung to by strange individuals, “patriots”, who believed in something called a country. Now, children, point out where Earth was. #vss365 #patriot

@alexhorne.bsky.social @taskmaster.tv If there's ever a retry on Taskmaster USA - Jason Mantzoukas has to be the Taskmaster! His anarchic energy would be glorious - that, and I want to see his head rendered in gold as the main prize. Thinking about a strongly worded letter if this fails to happen.

Nostalgia a velvet trap of a place where it’s easy to drift beneath the hush of memory, where sorrow is blurred like rain on glass. #vss365 #nostalgia

To choose a single moment - among the countless heartbeats that ripple through a lifetime - that is the work of God #vss365 #moment

She looked out across the glittering, heart-shaped starscape. "It's lovely! How many suns did you destroy for it?" I beamed with pride. "Oh, just a few thousand — just for you." #vss365 #starscape
