#vss365 is how I say "good morning" to the world now, and I can't say it's a bad way to live.

I miss Florida
I miss my grandparent's house
I miss the 3 mile drive to
the most beautiful beach I've seen
it's white sugar sand &
clear blue water, so clear I can
see fish swim near me and
dolphins not too distant
So I'll shuffle my feet
into the water so I don't meet
a sting #ray too

Just gonna leave this one right here for the people who don't believe in science.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines can trigger the immune system to recognize and kill cancer, research finds

The researchers found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines could potentially help patients whose tumors don’t respond well to traditional immunotherapy.

love isn't a guarantee,
it's more like a wild
#experiment, a game,
maybe just something
we do to kill time and
amuse ourselves.
then again, it's a fact,
no more theories -
this equation shows
that love for its own sake
has already been solved.
it's what we live for.

“There’s a reason poets often say, ‘Poetry saved my life,’ for often the blank page is the only one listening to the soul’s suffering, the only one registering the story completely, the only one receiving all softly and without condemnation.”

My boyfriend was friends with Christopher Golden's brother when he was young, and we were JUST talking about him, and I said "Tim Lebbon writes tie-ins, too" and voila, here you are!

Our question: How do you get the rights for that? Do you go to them or do they come to you?

Good morning! Time to write my daily poem. I love writing first thing in the morning, and I can't believe my brain is actually functioning enough to do it!

I just tried #Anthropic 's #ClaudeAI and I don't think I ever want to see that blank, soulless ChatGPT screen ever again.

I think there really are only about three weeks in the year that I can say I'm happy with the weather.

The other 49 weeks I complain every day. Fun? FUN!

Cheney Meaghan @cheney.me · 4d

I'm writing poetry daily. That's the plan anyway!

Hey, you, hold onto your humanity. You’ll thank me later. — Harvard Gazette

Columnist and alum Alexandra Petri offers a little advice for the graduates — or, at least, for one of them (you know who you are).

I've never felt #small
in any sense of the word.
I've always taken up
too much space,
too big to fit,
too much to handle.
And after a lifetime
of feeling so small I
barely believe I matter.
It's easier when you're less
to let yourself slip away
to nothing at all.

Wow.

Crazy how things can just change so completely and unexpectedly.

Makes you wonder what the grand plan really is, huh?

Reminding yourself what you should be thankful for and lucky to have is important for mental health.

Title: A lucky shot in the dark

i think of my life sometimes
in the context of Tswift lyrics:
“we never had a shotgun shot in the dark” to
“we are a shot in the darkest dark” to
“august sipped away like a bottle of wine -
'cause you were never mine”
yet, look - here you are next to me
on the couch having coffee every morning
here are your boxer briefs i wash and fold
with my heart full of love and feeling lucky
because i get to be the one to fold your underwear
how easy, how comfortable, how perfect it can be
the conversion of stranger to lover,
from a fool’s dream
to the absolute love of my life

It's heartbreaking when people know exactly what they're doing to hurt you and they just keep doing it anyway.

if not for my #website
we wouldn't have met
but we were a couple
connected on Twitter
when it was still a bizarre bazaar
of people in the world
ready to be known
now you know me
you see what you get
you know what I mean
so make your choice
and choose wisely
