iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Amid blood and sand, a woman traverses it all, her wife at her side, her weapon on her back. A passionate love story entangles death and danger, yet love refuses to yield. Two lovers against brutal odds. One tale of the Sunscarred Reach. Mother is waiting. Are you ready? #Booksky #CoverReveal

A dark navy and gold fantasy book cover for The House of Titanhips: A Tale of the Sunscarred Reach by Laelette Vanhook. The title stands boldly across the top in large, weathered gold lettering. In the center is a simple gold symbol of an upright hand with a long vertical line running through it. An ornate golden border curls around the edges, giving the cover the feeling of an old, treasured fantasy tome. The deep navy background has a worn, leather-like texture, with the subtitle and author’s name in gold below.

Thank you! It was the first line I came up with so I wanted to figure out how to make it work.

I found a journal, deep cleaning. It's cover is ripped. All pages are full. I should throw it away because it's clutter. But across its pages, I can see where I was, what my priorities were, and what they are now. I’ll keep it for now. Because it’s not junk. It’s history. #Poetry #PoetrySky

I absolutely agree. No one can make the time for you. At the end of the day you need to put yourself first.

Laelette Vanhook @laelette-vanhook.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

That's beautiful and very clever. Sometimes we need to stop and organize our backpacks to clear out what no longer needs to be in there. Nowadays when can you find the time to do it?

Aww thank you! I just kind of sat there and played with it like a puzzle until I felt it looked right.

A cold morning. Time to bring out my favorite cloak. What’s in my pockets? Left pocket: wrappers, tissues, and junk mail. Right pocket: rocks, acorns, a random smiley-face eraser, and my missing lip balm. Time to refresh them to fill up next season. #Poetry #PoetrySky #PaintByWords

Dear Grim Reaper, So many deaths in such a short while, and not enough time to grieve. Why take them? Why were they next? Out of all the evil people you could've chosen, out of all the ones covering the world in darkness, why do you rob from the light? 🦋🦋🦋 #Poetry #PoetrySky

Nietzsche says “If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” In the ocean, it stays dark until we cut on the lights. Are the creatures we see truly monsters or do we fear our idea of them? It may be better to turn off the lamp and let the void be the void. #PaintByWords #Poetry

I saved an inchworm today. It was dangling right in front of me so I scooped him up. I feel like we're all inchworms at some point in our lives. And all we need is a hand to reach out and help. #Poetry #PoetrySky

A close-up photo of my hand outdoors with a tiny bright green inchworm resting on my knuckles. Behind my hand is are green fields, trees, and forested mountains in the distance. I found the inchworm dangling from a strand of silk while walking home from dropping my kiddo off at the bus stop, scooped him up for a couple of pictures, and then placed him safely in the grass near my house. The original photograph was taken by me. An AI illustrative filter was added afterward.

This is the pittie in question. Her name is Rowan and she is the sweetest girl. It didn't even take her .2 seconds to recognize me and immediately crawl into my lap and stay there the entire time.

Seeing friends after nine years. Our kids became fast friends. The family dog remembered me immediately. Nothing changed after all this time. Everyone just got older. #Poetry #PoetrySky

Warm, storybook-style illustration of a nighttime backyard reunion beneath glowing string lights. Two couples laugh together in the background while three children, two girls and a boy, gather around an elderly brown pit bull. The dog has a heavily graying white face and chest and wears a huge, happy pittie smile as the children pet her. A fire glows nearby, giving the scene a cozy, nostalgic feeling of old friends reconnecting after many years.
