This soft green fan at the wrist, where blood unbraids into the hand. The tide returning the heart to itself, slowed, silted, almost alien now. #vss365 #delta

Photo of a long shadow of a figure stretching out over some rolling tiny hills. There are many narrow paths worn into yellow and green grasses. There is a town in the far distance. The sky is very blue with huge white and pale grey clouds. The photo has an LOTR vibe.

making me nervous. 3 days left and last stretch. in an age of slop conmen and seedy rights grabbers, feels all the more important to focus on the reliable mags we can trust. if you enjoy their work and are able, this is a good time to chip in. the best time even, some might say.

For #SmallPoemSunday, @tomsnarsky.bsky.social, here's No Mention:
No Mention

I shall not be remembered on
my birthday. I shall lie on the floor
like all those times before, singing
with the hounds as they pass by.
My name forgotten but my song,
also forgotten. Even the floor
is gone.

Calm came for me the way a lover does: uninvited, through the wrong door—mid-yawn, sports socks, unbuttoning its starched shirt. I let the house fall quiet around it, cool air loosening. Through the walls, the neighbours murmuring. Outside, the smell of ripe tomatoes. #vss365 #calm

My collection, Moonlit Capybaras! I wanted to celebrate the lunar phases with my favorite animals snoozing in the moon glow. #moonphases #moon #art #capybara #sciart #painting
A series of 5 paintings with different phases of the moon, pink and purple clouds, and capybara resting in the water. The moon are reflected in the water. Each of the paintings have the artist's signature and @joyousjoyfuljoyness watermark. The 5 lunar phases from top to bottom and left to right are waning crescent, third quarter, full moon, first quarter, and waxing crescent.

'The trees are revealing their structures. There’s the catch of fire in the air. All the souls are out marauding. But there are roses, there are still roses. In the damp and the cold, on a bush that looks done, there’s a wide-open rose, still.' Ali Smith, Autumn #BookWormSat 🎨Elena Smal
Abstract painting of unknown blooms across the canvas. Pale peach and gold, with flashes of coral and apricot.
