Suse Poem Number 4 It's titled "Cernunnos." I'm done typing. Just posting original handwriting. Can't read cursive? What the hell's wrong with you? ALL the cool kids are doing #cursive. 🤓 And the REALLY cool kids use #fountainpens. 😎 #Suse #Poetry #Writing #Cernunnos #Heathen #Pagan #TheOldGods

I swear I could be living in a van down by the river (and I almost was) and I'd still be thinking about fountain pens. There must be a clinical term. 🖋️🤘😁🤘🖋️ #FountainPens #Pens #Writing #Pilot #Platinum #Pelikan #Sailor #Lamy

"His idea paints the sky" Ideas fade, the sky remains, He always sees lightning when he closes his eyes, Yet it holds all the universe contains. Each breath in is that of multitudes, Each breath out brings sweet relief, In between the breaths there's freedom, (Continued) #Poetry #Suse

"Your gentle spirit, my guide, My head in your lap, grace, Eyes for me that never lie, The bliss from your legs' embrace. Your soft scent, my peace, The hum of your sweet, valved voice, Thoughts of you will never cease, I know I have no choice. (Continued in comments) #Suse #Poetry

I've been searching over a decade for what my mind finds to be the perfect purple. I wanted purple hew, yet dark enough to fool the eyes, asking, "Wait. Is this purple or black?" I found it. Diamine Purple Bow. Oof. Magnificent. #FountainPens #Pens #Ink #Purple #Diamine

(Continued from above) Reach down to me with wisdom, Oh ancient gods on high, Reach up to me, my daemon friends, With love and lust that thrives. "Dimpsy skies beckon me home," But they have gone awry, My home will be with a new love, In a bed that's warm and dry. #Suse #Poetry

Inspired by Suse @bookish33.bsky.social starting a new large Leuchtturm1917 notebook today for poetry, and maybe some prose. A new #Leuchtturm1917 always makes me feel like Göthe, Schopenhauer, or Friedrich N. 🤓 In my opinion, the finest notebook money can buy. #Writing #Words #Notebooks

Photos like this have me champing at the bit to get back out, yet, high heat and high humidity are getting in the way. Merlin Bird ID says this is a Northern Mockingbird, yet dozens of birders online say it's a Catbird. I don't care. I was lucky to get this shot! 🤓 #Birds #Birding #BirdWatching

I think I'm done with the dying of the beard. Dying made the beard softer, which I thought important if I was ever to kiss a woman again. Yet, I'm 57. I am poor. I live with chronic illness. Time to embrace the Old Ragnar/Yogi/Zarathustra phase! 🤘😎🤘 #Vanity #Beard #BeardLife #AestheticWizard #Fool

For the first time in over a year, I had the energy and the drive to go birding. But 93°F,feels like 100°F? At 7pm on September 1st? No thank you. So here's a shot from 2 summers ago. Crows. Crows rock. Thank you for your time. #Birds #Birding #Photography #Crows #CrowLife #NaturePhotography

First, thank you. I searched the internet myself. I initially thought it was from the 19th century, but was wrong. Still, saw much amazing art! Turns out, was done by the person who makes the tshirt, someone named Torvenius. So. Now we know! FYI - It is a high quality tshirt! Worth owning.

I'm only connected to one person on Facebook. My buddy Patrick from high school. To this day, possibly the nicest person I've ever met. He just sent me this pic, circa 1985/1986. He's on the left, I'm on the right. My gods. Lotta mileage since then. I hope it brings a smile. 🤘😁🤘

#FountainPens for July. All #Pilot Vanishing Points. The only model of which I have more than two. The horizontal pen up top is always inked for in my opinion, it is perfect - a Platinum Urushi. Oof. #Pens

I've been accused of being non-materialist to a fault. That's what happens when one lives by Buddhist, Stoic, and Absurdist teachings. But if dark fairies ever wanted to lure me into a Nether Realm? They'd just have to hold up a #Pilot Vanishing Point #fountainpen. 🤓 #Writing #WordsWordsWords

Until causes and conditions are in place for me to return to birding, I'll be sharing some favorite #Birding pics of mine from last year. I hope you don't mind. Thank you! #Birds #Nature #NaturePhotography #Beauty #Peace #NotLettingChroncPainAndFatigueGetInTheWay

My favorite t-shirt. I've loved myth since I picked up "Bullfinch's Mythology" in grade school. It pains me to no end when fascist, right-wing, racists try to connect Odin (originally "Wodanaz" in Old German) with their views. He is the "All Father," not the "Our Father." #Myth #Norse #Odin

Not all pens have to be a grail pen. The Pilot Prera. An amazing pen. Easy on the bank account and it makes a great EDC. And if you enjoy the sensory pleasure of touch, there is something especially satisfying about putting the cap back on. 🤓 #FountainPens #Pilot #Pens

I have little actual talent with drawing.Yet, these books are: 1) Wonderfully simple... 2)...and an excellent overview of basic line drawings of nature. "Pacific Northwest Line Drawing" and "Botanical Line Drawing," both by #PeggyDean. A perfect path to take along side #fountainpens and #writing.

My "go to" aesthetic for #FountainPens is definitely black and gold. But on the day my son came out as bi, I ordered a Laban Rainbow Skeleton fountain pen to show solidarity and support. I'm straight, but want to reinforce to him we have love for all. #LGBTQ+ #Parenting #Gratitude #Love #Rainbow
