Reminder that June 30th is the last day when you can observe queers in the wild. In the evening of that day they'll start their journey to the spirit realm where they'll remain until June next year. Go to the beach before 10 pm if you'd like to see their migration.

#vss365 There are nights I am uncertain If I'm dead or quick Weeping black mascara tears I stare into a mirror The #carrion stench of myself If this was a dream of the afterlife I could be an angel Carrying torn wings as eyeliner

Rage to the word Turn blood, Not the page Daggers, Mix better In the Carrion Of ink Flesh, Lifts from the page I rage, I rage, At the same page #vss365 #carrion

Death's doors in torn flesh Why does decay feel familiar? Bones remind us we're temporary The smell unmasks our ending What remains when life leaves A lesson in impermanence Decay asks what we fear The earth reclaims everything #Carrion humbles the living #vss365

reminder that this is running though monday!! my jaw has been sufficiently obliterated (owie) and i may need to miss even more work for complications oops 😅

I wrote this poem about my great-aunt's passing. I never got to know her, but after going through her belongings I realized how similar we were. #vss365 #pull #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

Under her shade, cool times and cooler blades of grass. Her leaves rattled in the hourly gusts, the chimes clanging her soul's last song. The bees hummed, birds chirped, and he coughed, once. There, he read her words under the shade chime tree, once upon and forever young, at last.

Once again I'm up at 2 am unable to sleep. Whatup insomniacs and Americans, I guess.

You never really forget your first love As sad as it is to say, ended in heartbreak Too naive to know better, too foolish to care to find out Cruising through red flags at the speed of light Pulled me out of my fantasy As cruel as can be #vss365 #pull #poetry #poem

I'm such a quicksave fiend, I can't handle the consequences of my actions. #videogames #gaming

About to make yet another new character in #BG3 despite not even having finished the game yet. I'm thinking Dark Urge, but I'm literally incapable of being evil in video games no matter how much I try. #BaldursGate3 #videogames #gaming

It's a noun! It's a verb! It's minty fresh! It's the #vss365 #prompt for today, Wednesday, June 24. It's #pull.

I like to think of myself as a chill person, then I read my own #poetry and I'm like, damn girl, relax. #writing #writingcomunity

“All the mystery novels are filed under gardening, Sholmes" “A dreadful #lurch, Hatson. Three readers have already mistaken a murderer for a rose bush" “Geriarty?” "Who else. He fears readers finding clues too quickly" #vss365

I love reading my own posts because they're so relatable to me.

Post a gif of how you hide from spoilers and unnecessary drama.

This is his own mat. #Cat #Caturday

Happy Wednesday!! The theme for this week is .. #triangles 📐 #Cassiopeian is a #weekly #prompt for #poetry #photography #collage #art and #resistance Feel free to tag me so I don't miss your piece due to occasionally glitchy tags.

Can't help but feel like you were a bit too quick to forgive yourself We're all sinners, I treat repentance like masochism I don't consider myself to be a good person, but at least I can say I'm better than you My skin shudders as I #lurch back into my body, creeped out by the thought of you #vss365

Does anyone have any southern gothic books to recommend? I'm a big fan of Shirley Jackson and Flannery O'Connor and I'd like something in the same vein. #booksky #books #gothic #reading

Things that Lurch unloved lagoon creatures the economy our fungibility ships to the side in a storm the things that leave us in it Unable to run in a dream I don't remember. Maybe something was chasing me. Maybe nothing was. #vss365 #zuihitsu #micropoetry

What's your early summer look? 1. sea witch in a sun dress 2. shade goblin 3. dusty garden ghoul 4. sweaty elder goth

They congregate for hope. Pens cross the flesh and lay down the fundamentals. Spells they weave for selfish gains. Their confidence will #lurch in the face of toxic veins. The course of a million dreams stuck in the church. Their mind was the sermon and judge. #vss365

Funny, I don't miss those days even though I should. What's wrong with me? Lurched into a state between dread and ecstasy. I long for a place that I fear is imaginary. Maybe one day I'll go there, but for now I visit in my dreams. Are there worlds beyond that which we can see? #vss365 #lurch #poetry

Ever post a #poem that makes you hesitate? #vss365

#vss365 #defenestrate #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

Um... #witchsky my great-aunt passed last year and my mom bought her house and now we're cleaning it out together (she was a hoarder so it's taking a while). Today when we went to check on it the mirror in the bathroom had fallen out of the frame and smashed against the floor. Is she pissed?

Don't really like how this one turned out, but oh well, it is what it is. #vss365 #batch #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

A poem I wrote. We can not continue to ignore the atrocities…. #poem #poetry #WritingCommunity #booksky #writer #author #prochoice

Party Knight. ⚜️

Barely got any sleep last nigh, but my sleep deprived brain was able to come up with this. Weirdly enough I feel more creative when I'm tired, the words just flow easier. #vss365 #undo #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

Insomnia strikes again.

Happy #midsummer #witchsky! Did you know that there's an old Swedish custom that says if you pick seven different flowers during midsummer's eve and put them under your pillow you'll dream about your one true love? You gotta do it silently though or the magic won't take hold!

Midsummer's eve is upon us, hold hands and dance. Drink deep from your cup. Spirits are here to remind you that we have more than enough. Unclench your fist, don't hold on too tight. You'll choke out whatever life wants to thrive. A bountiful harvest is best coaxed like a tune. #vss365 #clench

Why do I have to be such a fast reader? I don't want it to end so soon 😢 #booksky

How do you ground yourselves? Me, I literally just stick my feet in the dirt 🌱 #witchsky

Pulled me away from my world; kicking and screaming. #Novel shores, so ancient that they're new to me. I'm a child making my way through the shrubs. Foreign people, a familiar tongue, my mouth form the words; thought I'd forgotten how. A stranger in these lands soaked in my own blood. #vss365 #poem

Rather than overcoming my nervousness I need to accept that I'm just a nervous person.

She is a gatherer, face like moonrise above her screen bright in borrowed light. Eyes spear a passerby. Nails lift the texture of the table's edge depositing it in clicks and jabs on unseen keys. She meets my gaze. She looks at me, then through me, and now her #novel holds me as well. #vss365

With bloodied hands and forced smiles, I built us a castle, stacking each brick with devotion, never noticing how the walls were slowly becoming a prison. Now the truth settles in my chest like a stone I can’t swallow: I am not enough for you. Not truly—not as I am. Maybe I never was….

💫carrying the scent of rain to a place that has forgotten how to bloom Dark clouds dance across the sky while your breath reaches me before you do, warm and restless, carrying the scent of rain to a place that has forgotten how to bloom #leaving_my_heart_defenseless

I have my war paint on and thousands of angry ancestors behind me.

Finally crossing this one off the list. Can you tell Naomi Novik's books are my latest ADHD obsession? #booksky #books #reading #fantasy

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get to taste that sweet nectar. Is it my own fault or just a matter of circumstance? I am my own #fiend, but I have an invisible burden I carry and I'm tired of living this way. #vss365 #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

The ineptitude of the healthcare system never fails to surprise me.

It fills me with such pain, sears my retinas and burrows deep inside my brain. A fiend's love twisted beyond comprehension. A cruel reminder of a once soft place, now gone to waste. A lingering sensation of false safety. Taunting me at every turn. #vss365 #fiend #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

As your #vss365 host for June 16 through June 30, I thought I might inaugurate with a word that I don't think gets the love it deserves. There are bad guys and then there's next level: Today's word is #fiend!

I have a love-hate relationship with #Hades2. I've rage quit for today but I know I'll be back. #videogames #gaming #supergiant
