#fastprompt The ground beneath our feet The calming rhythm of the seas Starry nights, blue skies Nature does its own bidding Indifferent to humanity's designs Expressing itself with Unstable mechanisms To inform us Who's really in control

Found another homemade bookmark in the Library Returns machine, very cool design, but at this point I'm starting to think they are being used as an offering to the book gods! Either that or they are made by a very dedicated but forgetful artist!📚✍️🎨

Just read five poems from Fenton Johnson's "African Nights" and they are FANTASTIC character study prose-poems. Did some digging: seems this collection was never published. Anyone know how many poems were written for this, and where the most complete collection is? #poetry #poets

Well hells bells! I'm here in the office with the windows open while my wife entertains her guest (the one who cackles) and one of the neighborhood cats has just marked the porch territory and the whole room now smells of piss ... and so at some point, our guest will leave through a mist of cat pee

The Missus has a friend over tonight who literally cackles when she laughs. I have never actually heard a person cackle in real life, only read about it in books and seen it in fantasy films. But this is a high, ear piercing, joyous shriek. It is equal parts amusing, endearing, and terrifying

Toxic masculinity has been in the headlines a lot. “Not all men” the rallying cry for many men. It can be difficult to sift through it all. I know great men, toxic men, and men who have zero self-esteem and can’t dig their way out. Be good to yourselves. Be good to others. Correct the shitheads.

Hit the record store for RSD after all. Couldn’t resist the Bowie. Grabbed the Goblin soundtrack as well. They’re always up to something different…. #RSD #Vinyl #Vinyltime

Another mundane scene in Seattle that made me happy. I'm glad I overcame the urge to pass it by when I was in a hurry. #G+Circle #Photography #Mundane #Seattle

the sky split open like a secret too long held— thundered out every name I still whispered in the dark. grief came as rain on a roof with no shelter, a wind that knew where all my broken pieces lived. I braced, hands over heart, as if that could stop the ache from pouring in #QuickQuill D2R1
