A new micro by Colleen Addison. Amid pain and rancour, a relieving reminder of the love we carry, that lifts us up. templeinacity.com/micro-fictio...

Catching up on RM’s smoking in a non-smoking area scandal and my goodness my goodness can these be our scandals please

Usually the process of writing it out endears me more to a poem. But this time, it made me actively hate this one! My lips are sealed as to which poem. And if you haven’t read my post about this practice of mine, please check it out and try it yourself! www.maureenlangloss.com/in-the-bee-l...

Breathe with me…

Who’s up for a little breathe of poetry that believes in life? *raises hand

My quiet little piece is up in @templeinacity.bsky.social today. Please do go check it out. I'm really proud of this one!

Just finished Longshore Drift by Bronwen Griffiths. BEAUTIFUL descriptions of the sea and shoreline, well developed characters you really care about, and a plot that moves crisply along. The ending is fabulous and the Epilogue is gorgeous! A wonderful read! ❤️ @bronwengriffiths.bsky.social

Honestly, whenever a hoofed animal is sitting, I am very pleased. I feel like they not supposed to be allowed to do that, since we almost always see them standing. And whenever something or somebody does something sensible they’re not supposed to be allowed to do, I support them.

Thank you @epistemiclit.bsky.social for doing these monthly highlights. I’m someone who came to ND awareness late in life and it was so affirming of my early life friendship failures, social confusion, many sensory issues etc etc. If this is your story, then I see you. 🧡🧡🧡

My first poetry collection is up on kofi. If you appreciate haiku and tanka, please go check it out. ✨️💜✍️ #poetry #collection

"Dad’s back.​ He's at the window. Or he's coming around the house now. Maybe he's right behind me, hiding in the trees, waiting for me to pop out like a rabbit from the den so he can chase again."

So much love back. This is a brilliant story. Proud to be able to put it out into the world.

‘Everything just wants to live. If you understand that you get along. Okay? You give a little of your blood or dreams and everything goes on. But some things won’t stop. They start small but can’t help it, they take until everything is destroyed. Even themselves.’ mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

"Sometimes in group we play a game. We call it survivor though it’s usually the opposite. I win a lot because people have funny ideas about that word." @eireneeleni.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

"...join me on the highway moving at a snail’s pace, eager to reach the Island where you are, cooled by the ocean currents like an expensive champagne. The Tamagotchi would run to greet you, jumping on you and licking your knees, scraped up in some game, while it blared the notes of “Ode to Joy.”"
