to break open steam--
to seethe. to boil like for tea,
ghosts of raged mists

I had a mental health win yesterday! I'm an hour from Belle Isle, in Ypsilanti, and I wanted to go there very early. My friend was going to drive us and she canceled, but I still went alone. I went 6 miles even though I got lost on the island.
I would have never done it in the past. #ypsi #travel

i only know of sharks and anemones
jellyfish stings and pee
i know of starfishes and barnacles clinging to places far away
to start a new home around ponds in the great lakes
i am midwestern and not northern and superior

If I had wings, I think I'd be blessing survivors of the pulse shootings, blessing the queens of stonewall, and drying the tears of HIV survivors which now survive everyday, for they carry the true weight of the world.

if you were to be me, you would see
i have a complicated pass with divinity

if you were to see me, you’d see
i have a powerful relationship with anxiety

if you were to hear me you’d see
i like talking about more you than me

if you were to taste me you’d see
i am a rare delicacy

see the king took control

Old movies, some so obscure: Something about angels, and something about dirty faces, a movie 87 years in age. About those angels with dirty faces, a Sum 41 song, that had me searching later for influences + connections to the songs that kept me alive as a teenager. #vss365 #2000's #sum41 #oldmovies

the tides tore open
memories of how she used to be-
before the tyranny of her scrutiny-
reached me

i remember her eyes
i remember the flush i felt,
falling in love, and smashing
bodies together
like cashmere touching silk
i will always remember it fondly

Thanks 4 inspiration!!

I don't think it's
a feeling that would
could ever go away

Remembering how her eyes
saw me

Remembering her fingers
tracing me

Finding myself
searching for her
not as she became
but as she was
that day

i am feeling sad
the empty wells of my eyes
look like red-orange rocks

I have hope, but things are getting bad here for trans people and even more so for immigrants. I kinda just wanted to write a #senryu. #poetry #magma #grandcanyon #feelings #checkin

Holly Chessman @hollychessman.bsky.social · Jul 28

How are you holding up?

Are you feeling angry?

Sad?

Nervous?

Alone?

Share your feelings with me.

Let me listen.

You are not alone.

Picture of the word “hug” with arms hugging it.

when the storm cries see
me, i cry for for soothing
lotions and perfumes

A lot of my family is afraid of thunderstorms, hang in there!

Kraken Viara🔞🐙(Vimbos Gen 1) @krakenviara.bsky.social · Jul 28

I'm terrified of thunderstorms. And to be fair, I live in an area where there are occasionally tornadoes, so it's not a completely baseless phobia. I use headphones when a storm comes. So imagine my surprise when I reach for them at the first crack of thunder...

Only for the power to go out 🥲

A song brings a memory, brings a tear from my eyes. The memory of country songs, and also hip hop fusion. I listened to everything hated, first ironically, then unironically. So cure me of irony now Lil Nas X. I am ready to go to old town road, and fight for my queer freedom. #vss365 #queer #lgbtqia

I said, "It's over. I never promised out golden years, forever together. I never promised a rose garden."
She said, "I just want another week and you still to love me after you leave."
I said, "I'll never think of you again."

A burst of color for your feed: bubbles!

#photography #Stunday #ArtYear #bubbles

Two very large soap bubbles, stuck together, floating in the air above a green grass lawn. Through the bubbles, a garden shed and several trees visible through an iridescent rainbow sheen. Reflected on the bubbles are a couple different houses and a few trees.
