I am brimful & saturated with all that surrounds me. My senses drowned in birdsong & tingling with flight. Imagination fertile & overflowing with fox fur & crow smudge. I am a fallen book, pages open & taking to the sky. I am both hawk & mouse, dreamer & dream. #vssdaily brim #vss365 fertile

Molting I cradle this old fragile heart That still finds it necessary to break During these tender moments Where the love I feel outgrows it Letting the skin crumble away And in its place, delicate new skin That life will toughen once more #Poetry #WritingCommunity #PoetsOfBlueSky #PoetrySky

I've created a website where bluesky users can post an anonymous list of their problems and then we all vote on who the list belongs to.

Hey, does anyone have a list of all the places it’s relatively easy to move to, visa-wise, if one is trying to GTFO of a bad country but able to work remotely? Genuinely actually asking for a friend. Cc @josie.zone + @sirosenbaum.bsky.social

Do not messe wyth writers. Thei are the kyndeste and meanest and weirdest folk on Earthe. Thei kan create a person yn a second, or make a partye be rememberid for two thousande years. Thei kan stitch and unstitch worldes. Thei give names to emociouns we do not yet understande. Odd people, mightye.

Wind-stirred leaf lifts a dance Crisp packet goes higher Excitement entrances airflow A bin lid skips clamour down a street The tree missing a leaf bows and bounces Missed by a set of red roof tiles Flying by Chaos swirls gyroscope and all fall down Ruffled feathers, beak soothed, end a day #vss365

I said “maybe” you’re gonna be the one that saves me

Waiting for the heart to get up again to finish breaking

Lucky it was only a drill, but there were times like this and this was why they needed drills. Dylan had ordered several, at random moments, but, for some reason, this one descended into #chaos. And that was the point. Find the problems and fix them before they became real problems. #vss365

Lean on me..✨
