Promise Every step taken every sweat dropped and hill climbed Brought me closer to the me I was destined to find Each dawn that broke and night that came Lay a path of struggle leading to my flame Now I sit higher than before Knowing the past will hurt me no more! SLB Thought I'd do a positive one

The best Emotional Support Canadian @traviscleary.ca made my little Milo into a coffee at my request ☺️😂💙 He also added us in lockets and it's so funny and sweet. I can't handle it. Little Milo would have been the best coffee 😂 I mean, clearly 💙 I got to be with Milo for 15 years and it was the best💙

When you annoy a neurodiverse creator, you damn well better expect to receive a VERY long essay as to why your proposal is a f*cking awful idea. [Paraphrased] 'The issue of copyright when it comes to training AI models is unclear' - no it isn't: don't. steal. people's. stuff.

Going to see a movie today with one of my best long-time friends! @brandihowe.bsky.social 😁 Question: What's the point when long hair has become *too* long? When does it get weird? Is it now, or do I wait until it's reached the counter? 🥲

Beneath the flood, where shadows gleam, A creature lingers in a dream. With gills that breathe, it softly stirs, A keeper of the waters’ mirth. It shuns the earth, the fire’s call, Unchanged, it dwells beneath it all. Where life begins, it stays, untamed, A ghost the lake has never named. #Vss365

The trail dissolved, a phantom’s breath, The pines stood still, like shades of death. A raven’s cry, both dread and guide, Led him where the shadows bide. Through cursed woods, where time does rot, He walked, yet knew the path was not. #hbp48

Followed the advice of the (soon to be) renowned Rewan Tremethick (@rewantremethick.bsky.social) on the opening sentence of my novel. Not only is his advice solid, you'll have a great time reading! ☺️💙 And if you don't for some reason, feel free to yell at me. 😂 rewantremethick.com/what-makes-a...

Use the leaf blower to inflate a bounce house next door. Then climb in and scream, “I have transcended lawn care!” Your neighbor will either stop or join you in eternal leaf-related chaos.
