It’s your turn to host Thanksgiving.

More bad news and spewed hate abounds
Exhaustion permeates the air
Anger and despair rolls through me
I wish to throw it all overboard
Let it sink undersea and become fish food
But I fear even the fish would struggle to survive the rotten garbage we’ve created in this world

Holding the proclamation in her hands she looked around suspiciously. Investiture into godhood? Her? She watched the shadows for Loki. Surely this was just more trickery by her mischievous friend. Perhaps revenge for turning his hair pink?

Thank you! 😊

Finally watched Season 1 of Alchemy of Love (I know, I know I’m behind) and wtf was the finale. I was planning on skipping season 2 since I heard it would ruin how good the first season was but… how… what… grr… I’m having an existential crisis here and don’t know what to do. 😭 😅 #AlchemyofLove

Words flowed out of her like #seafoam upon the sandy beach. She tried to stop them from escaping but could only stand there as they bubbled up to the surface. Cheeks blushing she turned to run out of the room, but a hand clasped her wrist pulling her close before soft lips touched her own.

It was time to let it go. She could have swung a hammer at his head and it wouldn’t have mattered because you can’t beat compassion into someone determined to hate.Turning off notifications, she set her phone down and curled up on the couch with a good book and a mug of coffee.

Three words spoken true
A constellation of dreams
Lighting up the night
#vss365 #word

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

I see the infinite loop of memories
Cycling in your mind
The furrows of your brow
The silence
The tears you hide
They all betray you
But you are not your mistakes
You are not defined by them
Your mind may try to shackle you with that fear
But it lacks the power to make it true

One of the only positive things to come out of this year is my return to writing poetry. I stopped after high school (many moons ago) and never got back into the habit. Now that I’m older and the world is on fire, it’s easier to understand I don’t have to be a good writer to let myself do it.

It was a fixer-upper so water leaking in the kitchen was no surprise. What she hadn’t expected, however, was the metal tin of love letters hiding behind the sink. The last letter read, she dialed a number she couldn’t forget and let her voice sing the song her heart had written so long ago. #vss365

My soul shattered that day
The day I opened my eyes…
I looked towards my demons
And what did I find?

Not glowing red eyes,
Nor monstrous claws
But an image of me
Weaving the past into weapons
I could fling at my mind

My soul shattered that day
The day I was no longer blind…

Thank you! 😊

Flinging the banknotes onto the floor she took one final look at him. His words were apologetic but she knew better. Her eyes flashed for a moment as her face turned to disgust. Then, with a grace a ballerina would envy, she turned towards the door, walking out of his life forever.

I did a little snort laugh at the end there. 😆

Ink stains linger on their fingertips Another report of lost lives penned Ink stains reminding them of the hearts that have stopped beating and those about to break A basin of water inky black as they desperately try to erase the knowledge from their souls Centuries pass - Humanity doesn’t change Another set of stained hands tries to wash away the reminder of lost lives Lives deemed disposable by those in power Lives as disposable as the ink swirling down the drain Temporary ink stains caused by the endless hunger of power, hate, and greed An endless hunger staining the world with the red ink of lost lives An ink stain that can never be washed away #vss365 #ink

Sometimes it’s just impossible to fit the words that want to come out within the character limit. #vss365 #ink

Outstretched arms beckon across the abyss The promise of an embrace freely given A hand creeps forward in response Tentative and cautious in its movement Then a pause - Fate whispers words of courage A heart’s pull joins the refrain A leap of faith - Two bodies intertwine in comfort For a moment the abyss is slain #vss365 #hand #arm

Donating to help trans youth (and piss off transphobes) is a great way to start your week off right.

Sand swirls around her body cloaking the blood dripping from her hands. Her lips curl in satisfaction as she passes by the guard uninterrupted. A mournful cry from inside the keep alerts the guard to danger, but it is too late. She has disappeared, leaving only devastation behind her.

Thank you! 💜

A ringing in my ears
Suffocates the sounds around me
Making your words float lifeless in the air
An invisible caress rejected

Yet somehow my heart knows to search
For these vessels that you’ve sent
It whispers its own embrace
To battle that violent ringing and let you in instead
#vss365 #ring

Feelings swirling wildly Echo in my head Thoughts uncertain and elusive Dance upon those threads I place pen upon the paper Hoping for coherence Yet nothing worthy gathers Words only in appearance Perhaps it is too unsettled The chaos in my mind Or, perhaps, maybe what I’ve written Has yet to be defined Gazing upon the paper I read once more with full heart’s feeling A lightning burst of truth erupts And I witness my soul’s healing #vss365 #pen

Poetry is magic. #vss365 #pen

There used to be a man on the moon
He would watch us from a distance
He’d pretend to have the power to guide us from afar
But we were just his entertainment
There’s no man on the moon any longer
He said our show got too depressing
He’s gone away
Hoping to find a world more uplifting

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

Sharing for my friend Summer. She was awarded a small grant to help pay for bottom surgery but she still needs help to be able to fully pay for it, including travel and recovery costs.

Readers! What is the last book you loved by a trans author? And what is something you loved about it?

Poem reads: Nightmares cascading into reality Fears choking the living Truth and love cloaked in shadows The future a revolving door of fractured dreams A world becomes shattered and broken Its people discarded as trash No one left to stitch up the pieces Save the phoenix rising from the ashes Sounding a call to the forgotten With the breathe of hope Like a necromancer to the dead And the world returns once more #revolve #vss365

The character limit got me again. #revolve #vss365
