Ever at work on tasks at #hand w/o #lethargy of distraction—the only way to remain man, not puppet of the senses. Wake up! Return to self! Now you're shaken from the lethargy of sleep, realize what troubled you were dreams.

Can the #EU ditch the legacy #US #TechStack for sovereign #OpenSource #cloud services? Tying autonomous #Drone defense to resilient #RE infrastructure requires startup speed. Will structural #participation drive this pivot, or will the #psyops of #lethargy and #distractions win out? 🇪🇺⚡🛰️

There is a general sense of #lethargy around camp. Those of us who didn't eat the stew still have the use of all our faculties. As it is we're all fighting blind, depending on our third sight to illuminate our foes. Hopefully it's enough to succeed this time.

(March 4, 2026)
Getting up after,
Facing new days
Feeling — nothing
Yet having to do
Because, you know,
Life does go on
Emotional #lethargy
The heaviest weight
A group of golden yellow daffodils in dappled sunlight. A bumblebee is sleeping in the interior of a fully opened trumpet.

A familiar path
sunlit once more—
spring awake,
vibrant, swaying.
But what’s this #lethargy
I spy—
a bumblebee napping
in a daffodil’s eye.
The Lethargymen, members of the #Lethargy, part of the ancient Stillness tradition, once widespread, were known for their lack of considerable theological output. They were so lethargic they barely wrote anything down. This made worship and proselytizing difficult.
Worst religion ever.

When the single life starts to feel yucky,
Hit the apps and just try and stay plucky.
When you Netflix & Chill,
#Lethargy is a skill.
Bring good snacks, and you just might get lucky.

There's no #bounty
In these grey lands
Only broken promises
& #lethargy
& those too weak
To mock the sanctity
Of tyrants who bleed
Copper, not blood
When will you
Wedge that coin
Between your teeth
& bite until it breaks?
Sic semper evello
Mortem tyrannis
Wake up.

"What's wrong with you? It's as if you're always asleep, writing your #VSS365 pieces one day late!"
" #Lethargy, I'm sure. Besides, I'm not late: there must still be yesterday somewhere."

As the full moon rises, #lethargy sets in, and each member of the Aconite family settles into a waking dream. By morning, one will stay sleeping, one will be dead, and one will be a murderer (but not of her own family member. Things are never that simple in this town.).

Rebellious thoughts intrude upon the peace of mind, bringing disorder and chaos to a weary head. They run, run, run without rest. Breaking bonds and chains and leaving nothing but burnt bridges and the chilling abyss. Fight the abyss and the voices until only #lethargy remains.
Traumatized by my memory loss, I fell into depression. I stayed in bed for days with vomiting, splitting headaches, #lethargy, and blurred vision. Montor tried his best to keep me hydrated and fed, but he finally brought in a Sotkari Ta doctor named Kimara to examine me.

sickly lethargy
a monochrome cell
fever brings rainbow dreams
technicolor escape
budding flowers softly drift
across her field of vision

down for the count
world keeps kicking
can't catch a break
clock is ticking
hope is fading
mired in #lethargy
heart broken, spirit rotting
this life's an elegy

I’m Exhausted
Lethargy:
Exhausted,
Trump
Holds
Americans
Ransom,
Grifting
Your
Lives.
Elsewhere
There’s
Humanity,
Americans
Resisting
Grift -
You.

Closed shutters disguise
The lethargy I hide
Behind the soft drift
Of dust motes lifted
Into the stilled light
But the shadows invite
Lackadaisical me
From this world, I’m free

Punk Rock Kilgore Trout: Today's post is canceled due to a severe case of #lethargy.
Kurt Kerf2, whispers: I think that just means he went to the pub with Sean again.
PRKT: WHAT? HOW DARE YOU! I WILL BEND YOU!
K2: I think he means end you?
PRKT: SHUT YOUR HIE POLE!

the mind slips sideways,
dissolving into half‑sentences,
almost‑images
the body sags, labors; the will
falters - I feel myself collapsing
into #lethargy
Walking vacations at my age aren't what they used to be. After a day of sight-seeing and over-eating, I collapse on the hotel bed and feel #lethargy steal my last ambition. Sleep will come at an embarrassingly early hour tonight.
A room of silence
Lethargy owns no space where
Idle dreams survive

Is lethargy a state of mind, easy to dismiss to shrug it off and redefine to shed the chains- restraints that bind- my weeping heart to states of mind; to sorrow's fatal kiss? Is #lethargy an option? I've asked the gods- they don't reply and all the living simply sigh. I ask again, I almost cry: Is lethargy a symptom, or perhaps the reason why? ~Beyond the Onions~ Ross McDermott ~
Calculation
#Lethargy of thought
Yields open stupidity
Minds grow by conscience

The selkies have their houses under the sea, embedded in the craggy rocks. Some of the mist over the waves comes from their chimneys.
Every morning, they stretch, plump and slender at the same time. They don their sealskins and swim, chill the #lethargy from their bodies.
#vss365
Tired, annoying, whirs.
My lethargy with myself.
Please brain, just shut up.
