Is it just a comically large hand on a wheel you pedal

The simplest words
can flow, crush, provoke;
or so we say.
Our chests will swell
with love, joy, fury;
static we stay.

Literature
can show, spark, inspire.
It's up to us
to run, change, believe.

If words can move,
will you?

When in Waterstones...spend too much money on pretty books.

Been wanting to read this since @devilligan.bsky.social recommended it on steam a while back. Looking forward to the plane read when I leave Edinburgh!

Up for Edinburgh recs of any kind from anyone <3

Love your work so much 🥰🥰🥰

Yesss i realized after I commented I could have just looked at your profile and answered my question 😅 it was great to meet you!

Wait YOU hi!! I was just thinking about how I didn't have your socials! Hi!!!!

You da best *skip turn* 🥰🥰🥰 I'm so happy I got this from you!!

Aaah who are you haha where did you get to see it? I'm the Mystra cosplayer who had it at Scotland this weekend!

Shadowheart is on a broom stick with Corinna the squirrel. They fly over the ocean with bird versions of bg3 characters.

A commission I did for @crinklycrisis.bsky.social - such a lovely idea and fun project. I loved making the gang into lil birds.

@aliona.bsky.social and Jennifer English are into bird watching and love that for them hehe

So sorry for your loss Katy 🫂

You are amazing *places skip card*

I have defeated your uno reverse ♥️🥰♥️

In spite of it
My grasp holds fast
Unseen, unheard
Anomaly of flesh.
Innate response,
A quiet compliance
Bound to rules
Unfit for defiance.
Ignorance, ravaged
A bliss made broken
I hold what's left
Words kept unspoken.

I regularly say "that's a problem for future me"

I watch your words
Form deviant spiders
They crawl into my ears
Benign until
They fill my skull
Webs hypnotic
And mendacious

You were a cold shoulder
In a fit of fever.
I knew it was wrong,
But I didn’t have a right.
I let you explore
Where you shouldn’t;
And I liked it,
As much as I wished
It would stop.

An excerpt from a longer piece I hope to finish one day.

My husband is a great guy, if you can resist the pale elf 😘

Numb hands
Held you then;
Moments and memories
Estranged.
Reflections fractal
In vacant eyes
Seeking vision
In a frozen void.

#WordedArt #vss365 #poetry #WritingCommunity #poem #PoetryCommunity #keepwriting

I'm a vessel on
A foreign sea
Most days are calm
But storms are sudden,
Violent.
The winds scream
Water bares teeth
Brine burns my lungs;
I'm afraid again.
Can I tame
The beast this time?
Or will this storm
Be my last?

#WordedArt #vss365 #poetry #WritingCommunity #recovery #support #hereforyou

Your icy vines
Churn dread
As you explore
My body–
You seize my throat,
Squeeze the lungs
Wrap ‘round my arms
Trace long worn lines
With a fondness
Sickening.

Pillowy soft
Caresses the crown,
I’m frozen,
Frightened
At first.
Her sweetened songs,
Alluring tongue
Softening, familiar.
I’m left with little choice.
She knows me best;
I fear her most.
I’ll imbibe
In her cold arms;
She’ll smother me
And I won’t care.

#SenseWrds 72 #poetry #anxiety

The kindest words:
Sharp as steel
The softest tone:
A tempest.
The pen is stone that aches to hold;
My racing mind is breathless.

#poetry #poetrycommunity #lostinthought #CBT #mentalhealthhomework

With pretty lies
I fall in dreams
Putrid ground grows
Violet blooms
I know the rot
Filth and comfort
I’m terrified
Of what’s above
I fear the breath
Of naked flesh

Thank you! So exciting!!

Still up for some volunteer effort transcribing if you haven't gotten it covered yet 🥰

I stare again
Into the pool of then
Searching still
For substance
My memory of you
Fine grains of sweet,
Poured into
My watery mind
All tumbled down
In blackout depths,
Dissolved, dispersed,
Forgotten

Knitting is a lot of fun! It definitely takes a bit of practice to get your own "feel" for it. But it's such a cozy, keep your hands busy hobby with a fun payout at the end 🥰

That's wonderful ♥️ I have a strange "relationship" with my brother, and I sometimes see snippets of his life like this that make me happy for him, even if we don't really know each other anymore.
Life is strange and families are stranger. It's nice to be happy for them.

Hoping to get an update about their transcription plans ♥️

Wonderful news! Thank you so much <3

@devilligan.bsky.social Hi! I was thinking about the podcast you & @neilnewbon.bsky.social (& co) were working on and had a thought: if not in the works already, would y'all be interested in having a few volunteers transcribe episodes for our deaf and hard of hearing community members?
