Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

Put the planet on the P&L, nothing is worth this hellscape we see and smell. Widgets and gizmos given life and taking flight. It might be unwise to prioritize a brand over human life. Count up each #cost: the battle won, war lost. #vss365

I'm looking at the moment thru my "favourite artists"-folder. Those gorgous paintings are by Jerome Lagarrigue. I love his technique. 🎨 #art

With their discerning eye they notice dust I cannot glance and shout at me to clean it kicking up a fuss. I wish my living standards were up to their standards, but alas I, a silly poet, only notice far-off clouds #poetry

The #product and the production line, every extrusion a misleading illusion of mechanical monotony. See the form firm in the factory, homogeneity heralded, though variability persists, insists upon themself, juts a corner out and cuts the operator’s mouth. One day we'll wear the belt out. #vss365

Following my post from yesterday about leaf-mimicking katydids, here is one of the species I encounter the most - Typophyllum bolivari. The species has sexual dimorphism; This is the male with the "chewed up" leaf look. The female looks very different, like a large intact leaf!

Some new work. Soft light, a breaking wave, and Cornwall’s rugged coast. My recipe for happiness.

Accidentally startled Mrs Hornbill on her cask of amontillado-ass nest. Not half as much as she startled me, I'll tell you that 😂😂😭 🪶

I’d like to write something today for the #vss365 but this Seinfeld quote is literally all I can think of🤣

I gathered all my unshed tears in a #reservoir of bad thought. I looked at it not, pretended I forgot. When it burst, I didn't expect the carnage it wrought, nor the life it brought, as aquifers finally filled in the desert field, allowing me to grow. Thirst quenched, life, lo & behold! #vss365

In the dry summer heat, where the stream beds slow to a trickle, a mangy brown mound moves about. It takes branches from the ground, places them in the stream to stop up the flow so a #reservoir can grow. #vss365

That Tor piece, sans type. Really had so much fun with this, and figured out some stuff to play with later

I studied on Roke isle, I thought that was something. All the while ignoring the truest trial: a shadow dogging my heels, it all feels too real. I ran, I sprinted til the moon glinted, I couldn't escape. Turn back, embrace the self you hate, accept your fate, know nothing else. #quickquill d2r7

Languid of language, haggard thoughts wrangling amber liquor lap listful, launching from the spout, brought to my mouth: a new sound sounding out. Theanine theatrics working magic in my synaptics. A subtle symphony of chords brought forth from the healing #tea. Once again I feel like me. #quickquill

There was no coming back from the depths of such void no light has ever breached to touch the dead space the only thing that ever carried through was the despair eating at you like waves #quickquill 4

#quickquill Two old oaks, eight meters apart. As saplings, their leaves would brush. Thrushes nesting in one or another. Roots reaching each, tickling rhizome feet. Canopies colliding, a branch broke bark and pierced her heart, circuit now completed phloem flowing, homes growing. Round 1 & 2

CYH 1998 Oriental Beauty. It's better western style. Thick, sticky texture, herbal and stewed fruit notes actually come through in the liquor. #tea #gongfucha #oolong #teasky

Sandstone tomb hovers above, souls peering heavy. Base skyward, point down, piercing crown. Blood drips a line, pining zygote. I defect, vasodilate. Pyre punches sand, I reach out both hands, I'll find you. #vss365
