A Jefferson salamander being held by my friend. He is wearing gloves which you should do if you ever handle a salamander because their skin is incredibly sensitive.

A spotted salamander with bright yellow spots. We found him chilling underneath a log.

A large fairy shrimp.

My friend took me to the bog where he found those fairy shrimp and we found lots of cool creatures! Yet another W for the grass touching community

Picture of sapph's cat kevin he's orange and his face is flat. He's staring intently at something past the photographers shoulder, in front of a window

Kevin is so funny like I'll try to move him towards me to cuddle and he'll run away. So what I do now when I want him to cuddle with me is I'll pick him up, 720 his ass, toss him in the laundry (gently obvs) and then bro will run up and start cuddling with me for the rest of the night.

Stationery by Agha Shahid Ali The moon did not become the sun. It just fell on the desert in great sheets, reams of silver handmade by you. The night is your cottage industry now, the day is your brisk emporium. The world is full of paper. Write to me.

If you don't know this poet, you should. He died too early and I have carried this poem with me since his death in 2001. I believe everyone should know it... those last 2 lines.

From Rooms Are Never Finished by Agha Shahid Ali.

Egg nog and cold brew is a combo too many of y’all sleep on….

I just had a dream that they made an Ohio movie. They cast Adam Sandler as The Rizzler.

today is a day to celebrate. it's publication day for this wildly powerful and inventive poem by @willowpoet.bsky.social!

THE WHITE, THE RED & THE PINK IN-BETWEEN When the wall I say I've hit gives under my hand like skin I'm told Breathe deeply but if I did my ribs would crack like a book like the nave's ceiling with its grayed teeth grinding away on the old story She must be in the pages somewhere in the drifting snow of February She must be here in the petals held aloft like planets & suddenly soft as bathwater on the back of my hand in the cottonwood Aurry & catalpa trash of May like film catching fire here at last in the hemorrhage of summer roses the canopy of crisp blood & Cro-Magnon brow of the Japanese maple She must be here somewhere within the gothic bones of my rib cage riding the twin gales Sorrow & Desire

queen of the rodeo Once I held her to me I held her long & in me our skin breath bones blood one story chewed off like a limb

riding the twin gales Sorrow & Desire

Wrote three poems this summer and one was for @tbq.bsky.social 💅💅☺️

I started journaling recently and I’ve never felt more productive?? I just use the thing to write down line/entire poem ideas, write about my day, etc… and put things like movie tickets and shit and it helps me get into a creative zone when reading isn’t getting me there :)

Picture of my cat, a Persian with a flat face, and his tongue licking his nose. His name is Kevin.

Kevin!!! The kittiest of cats

While watching Barbie I saw the pink light from the projector reflect off the screen and then reflect off of a bald man’s head and I got the strangest tinge of appreciation of life and it’s beauty.
