🥰. Hazel eyes are awesome. I have them too. Mine change from brown to green when I wear certain colors, but never blue or violet. So lovely!

Screenshot of a page from "Chrysanthemum #36" (April, 2026) haiku journal. One half of the page has a grey background (in English), the other is white (in German); and reads: Tim Chamberlain shade slipping in and out of lamplights Schatten schlüpft rein und raus aus dem Laternenlicht

😔

Yes, I remember this now, but it had dropped of my radar. Thank you for the timely reminder!

Ooh I need to check this out!

Capitalism is just such complete BS these days. Even in government run programs. 😞 100% driven by profits and cost savings over people.

Anything not coated I can’t even drink with water, need to have milk or some other flavored beverage.

I just realized this is part of a whole renku sequence between the two of you, and now I love it even more

Truly!

I love this!😍

bus doors open
i brush petals
from my sleeve

the perfect apple
in my hand
the urge to throw it

Grief gets caught in the riptide, tossed, tumbled, and thrown undersea.

Surfacing on shore, tattered yet
there.

undertow

Thank you very much!

Yes. Last year’s choice was the second worst option. Let this be redemption year.

They really should have been awarded it last year, but yes, this year please.

Were you … hiking?

Whee!

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
