I think, maybe, social media isn't the problem. Social media is the light shining on the problem. And we don't like what it's showing us about ourselves and our companions on this planet. That said, I really hate social media.

Status update for my fans (both of them!) I haven't been streaming or posting because, first, I had COVID, and my throat needed to recover enough that I could stream or record audiobooks. But also 70 hr weeks now in my day job, which will probably continue for a couple more months. I'll be back!

Oppression/Restraint Yes, child, you are quite clever indeed. You see things the world does not see. Thoughts churn in you overflowing energy when you see ideas expressed wrongly. But could we, perhaps, maybe, try to disagree more quietly? #whistpr #poetry

Our double knickerbocker glory has two red cherries on the top. Mum says she's tired of telling me to make do with ice pops. She says she's tired, that's all, putting down her sundae spoon. Vanilla strawbry tells me, we'll be moonlight flitting soon. #mpotd #whistpr

Every chorus a tapestry of threads uniformly woven If one stands out the whole unravels Every aria's embroidered on a fabric such as this #whistpr #poetry

What are the words to the chorus of your life? The recurring part that catches in your mind playing again again again. The part you can't let go. Not the rousing anthem the triumphant prayer you wrap yourself in. But the one you did not choose. #whistpr #poetry

Confusion of Love Dearest Cherry, sang he, Thou art the soul of me Thou'st gossamer blossoms Palpitating my bosom Tumultuous as the sea That's lovely, truly, I replied, but my name is Charlie. #whistpr #poetry

They still see it when they close their eyes. When they drop a dish and break it. Your cherry paddle hanging in the kitchen carved by your hand with loving care. They see it swaying on its hook standing outside the bar when a car rolls up beside them. #whistpr #poetry

To build a chapel so you can enter Heaven is easy, let me show you why. Start by building two. Make the spires tall so they can reach the sky. Then stack them up spire to spire balanced carefully. Continue in this manner adding faith until your salvation is nigh. #whistpr #poetry

It's very telling, watching The Traitors, how neurodivergence and general weirdness are treated as untrustworthy.

"I'm bored" the child said. "Let's play castleball." "We can't, we're out of castles." "Only cuz you won't play anywhere but France. They build new ones in America every day." "They're so chintzy tho." "But they fly faster." "Fine. But I get Mjölnir. You can have the Golden Fleece." #whistpr

The stone was there before men ripped it from the ground cut it up and built their castle bullied other men around. Those men are dead but not the stone nor their travesties of blood and bone. #whistpr #dailyprompt: castle #poetry Maybe not my best. Might try again tomorrow.

The house we had when I was young a worn-out ranch from better days My mother tore the carpet up I thought she'd gone insane The wood beneath was rough and marked with glue She sanded sweated stained it shined it golden smooth And it was still a worn-out ranch and we prob'ly were insane. #whistpr
