She wasn't waving, but drowning at work. Her boss saw her fixed smile and carried on adding more jobs to the pile. Always happy to stay late, he told the other staff, as he headed home to his wife and kids, leaving her in a glaring pool of blue light. Didn't see her fingers clinging on. #mpotd

How did we get here? Do you remember the night we met? Rain drenching the city, end-of-the-world torrential. And us, hunkered in that new bar, eyes alight as we explored each other. Then the dull drift into the routines of a shared life. This is the end of our road. How did we get here? #mpotd

Darkness gathers beneath the plane trees. She watches the shadowy branches reach out, dispelling patches of daylight. She shivers, unsure whether the cold air or her cold heart are to blame. Wraps her arms tight to her sides. She waits in the gloom.Waits for the footsteps. Waits for him. #mpotd

Amber liquid splashes into the Waterford crystal. He rotates the tumbler, refractions from the desk lamp glimmer on blank pages. Where it has gone, the inspiration, the drive he uses to feel towards writing? He lifts the glass to his lips and drowns his dreams in the fiery spirit. #mpotd

Fantastic weekend with @sgscarso.bsky.social and Suzanne. We missed @fionamckay.bsky.social and @itssonoemi.bsky.social but they zoomed in!

Algorithms brought them together, that windswept night at the pub on the precinct. For the first time not wanting to swipe right. They settled down in a glut of wedding gifts, espresso makers and hand held blenders whirring around their relationship. Until their new baby cried real tears. #mpotd

Blokes like him are always here. Watching us girls on the revolving dance floor, tumblers in hand, suits shining under the glitterball sparkle. Tapping their pointy shoes to the disco beat. Tonight I popped out for a breath of fresh air on the Princess' deck. Turned to find him behind me. #mpotd

"I'm broke," he said, pulling out pocket linings to illustrate the emptiness. "Ay, but you weren't at the start of the night, when the bar opened were you, Jack?" She left him there in the chair, walked past the fug of stale alcohol, out down the yard under the sharp stars dotting the sky. #mpotd

We sat in the library surrounded by past voices whispering as we planned our futures. We would love without restraint. Write seminal novels. Change the shape of the world. At the reunion, we sat in the library surrounded by our past. Surveyed the empty shelves, the blank pages of our lives. #mpotd

The faster we find our followers here, the faster we can leave the dying bird site (we still rely on it a lot for site traffic!) so do a smol business a favour and share the shit out of us so we can find our gang. Pretty pretty please 🙏 🙏 🙏
