I'm on section 8, medicaid, SNAP, SSI and SSDI...is the water boiling yet and if so, is it time to jump out of the pot? In other words, should I be terrified/thinking of contingency plans? You can DM me if you'd like. You seem knowlegable about this stuff and I have a lot of questions.

To any deity that might be listening: please don't let the light of hope burn out. Please keep the flame alive throughout the Winter that is coming (is already here, at my front door, mouth open wide, icy breath billowing up from the cracks in the frame.) Please keep my friends safe and warm πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Seeking light within the darkness. This is my current life's mission. Igniting a flame when no other light source is to be found. This is my contingency plan.

I read that in college! I don't really remember much of what happened in it and I don't think I have my copy anymore, but I'm sure I could easily get one and read it again with a fresh perspective 19 years hence.

Congratulations!! (or should I say, "cumgratulatiums!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚) I sound like one of the Rugrats when I say it that way 🀣🀣

Skeletal angel hanging from a streetlight at dusk.

The darkness knows its name

It's brain, an artificial moon

An approximation of sex

Yin within Yang

Like saints marching from Mary's womb

Straight to their graves

With black roses in their teeth

To the beat of my heart

Against yours.

God is all that is good in the world. Or rather, goodness itself, which encompasses the concept of morality, the people and things you love (art, music, creativity) the concept of love itself, is God. God is also a state of mind. In these times, I feel an intense need to see the beauty in the world.

Hello Bluesky! My name is Brett. I am a writer of weird/horror/science fiction, drummer for death rock quartet The Dionysus Effect and frontman/guitarist for sludge punk duo Raziel's Tree. This is my first post here after my exodus from the Zuck apps, so I figured I'd introduce myself 😜πŸ”₯🀘
