Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Hey, my friend and her kids are in a housing emergency. Please, if you can help, check out her GFM 🙏🏻 ko-fi.com/oraclekeke/g...

Friends, Your input, pls? Our local county parks is having an Autumn Photo event. I’m definitely submitting this Aspen Quote Post, but I want to submit a skipper pic, too (bc bugs). The purple alfalfa or yellow rabbitbrush pic but titled “Skipper’s Last Sip.” Your thoughts?

My morning sky in the East.

Sunrise through the fog Sweet dreams, nocturnal orb weaver. Hello birds singing sweetly. Fog comes late this year, I wonder if winter will too? #poem

The waning days of insects.

If you are finding your experience on social media a little grim, I suggest following more artists. Artshares like this one are great places to find new people to follow who will bring some beauty and wonder to your life!

Trying to blurb my book: Animals rise from the dead and kill all the humans is accurate but kind of brief 😂 Drop me a link to your book so I can read some blurbs and get inspired! Might even choose one to read and review! 👀

QRP with something watery #art I guess photography counts as art

The nicest thing about bluesky is just having a core group of people where you like each other's posts and repost for each other and drop little comments now and then and basically just serve as a reminder that someone has an interest in you. A small connection with a wider world that is important💜

#whistpr In spring I start to twitch, I have an itch Only a hike can cure, A hike for color A new cycle for the year. #Yellow is first to show In dandelions, daffodils, forsythia, And a pale blue lavender Is the tiny bluet First to show, To say to the others The ground has thawed, It’s safe friends.

#whistpr They called him Skeeter, because like a mosquito he buzzed around & finally tapped a #vein to drink the #nectar of the gods, leaving behind an itchy bump as he disappeared into the night. He never drained or killed anyone, he just sampled and sipped throughout the night at the human buffet.

#whistpr #orange Into autumn I creep like a cat, Scanning everywhere For glimpses of orange I’ll bring home to cook Foraging for supper A satisfying task.

#whistpr #center As the sun rises Its light shines warm In our hearts Vibrating Like a water droplet ping Of a skipping stone Echoed forever in our minds.

#whistpr #center Like a vortex some circles draw you in calming you with vibes of peaceful bliss. Each one reminds me of spinning fast clinging to the bars of a merry go round, focused on clouds. Where is my center? Is it the ink black pupils of my eyes? Is it my navel at body’s middle? 1/2

If there are numbers such as prime are there prime words?

Assuming it’s my finger closeup, what have you photographed in your sleep?

The good news is you won’t have to have surgery on your knee for a long time. How long before I can hike again? Hiking? You want to hike? You’ll probably need to have surgery on your knee if you want to hike again. Hmm… living alone surgery isn’t an option, so baby stepping my way to watch me.

I am lost in my journey with words, no new poems, I never think about reading books, and I am forgetting way too many words. So taking a bit of a break from social media. Working on fabric art instead.

Slowly getting back into my reading and reviewing routine after a reading drought that lasted too long! I read about 95% indie and small press books. You can follow along at my website's blog posts or check out the book review section for reviews by genre! #booksky #indie www.helenwhistberry.com

What's happening in the garden today? 🌱 #bloomscrolling The white flowers are fleabane, I think, and probably considered a weed but they are quite lovely little blooms and seem to attract tiny pollinator people. The red flowers are bee balm and cardinal flower, super hummingbird attractors!

Taking out the garbage I glanced over at the arborvitae and thought: wtf??? Which one of my neighbors put fried eggs in my yard and why? On closer inspection they are mushrooms.

Helen’s books are quite good and the animal characters really draw you into the stories. I think our coauthored book is enjoyable as well. I liked her illustrations so much I got one tattooed.

Y'all, this is a great deal, and I highly recommend snagging this if you don't have them!

Peekaboo sunrise, rise and shine lovelies! Rock this day like the superstars you are! Be kind and may the world treat you kindly! Peace! ✌️
