🧦🧶 I hardly knit stockinette only designs, but helical knitting is super addictive. Mind is blown 🤯 #knitsky

My heart rate has not dropped below 40 for two weeks. I thought finally my heart realised that I am not a marathon runner and was a bit relieved. Today i came to my senses and undestood it is because weather is cooler. Sigh! #pwme

Just listened to Victoria Adukwei Bulley's collection Quiet on audiobook and it is incredible (the writing and the performance).

How swiftly the strained honey of afternoon light flows into darkness and the closed bud shrugs off its special mystery in order to break into blossom as if what exists, exists so that it can be lost and become precious - BY LISEL MUELLER #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous, or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular, but because it never forgot what it could do. - Naomi Shihab Nye #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

🧶 Crocheted a scarf after a long time as per a request. Love the pure merino and the horizontal waves. #crochetsky

Pulling this out because my desperation for survival extends to need for distraction (Ive been awake for going on 3 days because Im in too much pain to rest). Help me find some relief any way youre able? linktr.ee/wylder

There is a window that, once opened, can never be shut again no matter how many good people who love you fill up the room, try blocking it from view; no matter how long you go without glancing in its direction- (years, sometimes, forgetting that tempting) - Megan Williams #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Everything is still available. I know I need to post this information daily. But brain is not braining when it is required. #bsnm #nightmarket #pwd 🧶

Also! My book A Stage Over Ruthless Stars is available on Kobo Plus! It’s a YA sci-fi with disabled and queer best friends that you should totally check out! 🌈📚🪐

I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura is powerful and deeply moving. Beneath its fantasy and defiance lies a raw, tender story about grief and courage. I found myself pausing in silence more than once. Few #graphicnovels capture pain and strength this honestly. Loved it. 💙📚 #BookSky

The anthology of love poems I bought for a quarter is brittle, anyway, and comes apart when I read it. One at a time, I throw pages on the fire and watch smoke make its way up and out. I'm almost to the index when I hear a murmuring in the street. - Ron Koertge #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

I had to order all my supplements, eye drops, electrolytes etc all together this time and they came in a huge sack. Reminded me that I am dependent on them more than food. #pwme

Bonzy buddy took unemployment hard

When grief comes to you as a purple gorilla you must count yourself lucky. You must offer her what's left of your dinner, the book you were trying to finish you must put aside and make her a place to sit at the foot of your bed, -MATTHEW DICKMAN #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Locke & Key: The Golden Age was such a treat to read. I loved diving into the Locke family’s past & seeing how the mythology of the keys began. It’s slower & more reflective than the main series, but deeply satisfying. Gorgeous art, rich storytelling.. absolutely loved it 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels

I severed a leaf from its tree And a water-drop in the green flagon Cupped a hunted bit of your smile. All things about me were steeped in your remembrance And shivering as they tried to tell me of it. - To One Dead Maxwell Bodenheim #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Reminder that if you want a custom, one-of-a-kind knitted gift for someone for the holidays, the best time to order something fro my shop and get it ON TIME is now! Knitting takes time and if people ask me in December it just won't be as feasible or even possible at all. #GiftShop #BSNM #OpenComms

🧶🧦 16 of 2025 - Raindrops on Roses by @stoneknits.bsky.social from the Charming Colourwork Socks Book. Second day of not touching hooks and needles because guess who overdid sock knitting? 😭 #knitsky This is for the person who loves cotton socks, but I had the complete creative freedom.

Been thinking a lot about expectations, perfectionism and people pleasing recently Inspired by britchida’s work

Wave of sorrow, Do not drown me now: I see the island Still ahead somehow. I see the island And its sands are fair: Wave of sorrow, Take me there. - Langston Hughes #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken, a shatteredness out of which blooms the unshatterable. There is a sorrow beyond all grief which leads to joy and a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength. - Rashani Réa #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Loved Ballad for Sophie by Filipe Melo & Juan Cavia for how honest and human it felt. It’s about art, ego, guilt, and finding grace when you least expect it. The illustrations are pretty, the storytelling patient. A reminder that redemption often comes softly, not loudly. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels

The lightest touch if it is gently giv- en can yield as much affection as a deep embrace soft as a glance swift as a drop of rain light as a leaf I give you these again. - James Laughlin #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Porter stopped their all India parcel service. 😭

For many of us, the most we can do is shout and advocate on Social Media. Because… well we’re actually disabled. And it means we don’t have the time, energy, or capacity to do any more. And for some they can’t even do this. Doesn’t mean they’re bad people.

🌍 People worldwide used their limited energy to finish “ME/CFS is…” Their voices show the challenges, losses & urgent need for change. Thanks to matching donors, every gift to OMF is tripled up to $500K! 👉 Donate: www.omf.ngo?form=donate-.... #mecfs #pwME #mecfsresearch

Often a sweetness comes as if on loan, stays just long enough to make sense of what it means to be alive, then returns to its dark source. As for me, I don't care where it's been, or what bitter road it's traveled to come so far, to taste so good. - Stephen Dunn #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

So close to the end of my childbearing life without children - if I could remember a day when I was utterly a girl and not yet a woman- but I don't think there was a day like that for me. - Marie Howe #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

When I die, I will see the lining of the world. The other side, beyond bird, mountain, sunset. The true meaning, ready to be decoded. What never added up will add Up, What was incomprehensible will be comprehended. - And if there is no lining to the world? - Czeslaw Milosz #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

I found my alt Text mandatory setting was turned off. What is this, bluesky?? 😬

🧶 I was informed that this one, the Royal Begum, didn't have any trouble in adjusting to her new comfy place. She instantly claimed it as hers and started resting. 😂 Made my day and so I am going to curl up like this and let the day pass. 🥰 #crochetsky

WHAT SPACE FAITH CAN OCCUPY I believe that witness is a magnitude of vulnerability. That when I say love what I mean is not a feeling nor promise of a feeling. I believe in attention. My love for you is a monolith of try. - TC Tolbert #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

I should start making the things for the nephews before their arrival. I don't really want to be bombarded by "finished?" every five minutes like the last time. They are worse than micro managers! 😬
