Yes, after our chat, I put in a ticket and then had a follow-up conversation with them. I've updated the app, cleared the cache/cookies, changed servers, and toggled between desktop & app.

I hope this is resolved soon. Some of the feeds, in general, don't seem to be including the latest posts. 🤷‍♀️

Spotted in a Wal*Mart parking lot this morning, one of my favorite photo subjects: a Peacock Flower!

A Peacock flower with bright orange flowers and red pistils (sorry if I misused flower terms, its not my genre of knowledge just of photo subjects) on a background of slightly blurry green leaves

Blended truths
resemble a painter
mixing pigments
on a canvas
where some colors
bleed into others,
creating a believable picture
that persuades the eye
without claiming
absolute accuracy
or certainty.

Clinging (to) shadows
creeping fellow
Hello
Oh Hell
Where did I go-
wrong
How the Hell
did I get-
here
Two-ways in
but
no way
out
...
Yes, I'm lost
...
Back the way
I came
are you mad!?

#moonmystic Shattered windows are a shock, an affront, an assault, the act of a coward. But bullies go back under their rocks, glass is swept up and daylight returns. #writingprompt

I’ve
never
seen
the

cradle
teardrops
on
the
beach
and
then
retie
promises
in
the

The full moon rose under a clear sky. I entered the abandoned, reeking building through a shattered window. The room stank of piss and faeces. "Another night in shit paradise," I smiled, "one night less until death."

Forgot his keys and his password in a myth that's an urban one.

This is a bitter ode to him; he soon became undone..

..victimized by all of those clinging shadows.

Soon he collapsed, all evidence lost in the shattered windows?

I'm choking
on the bones of this world.
My misanthropic verve
drives me to write
in venom
but I'm getting fatigued.
I want to love,
I want to rise.
Bitterness becomes
a coping skill
and soaks in like a virus.
My vomit speaks;
it curses
then sputters
into binary code.

"grinding"

work till the
clock strikes then

work some more.
no days off when the

bills are due. work
work work. hustle them

bones so you can
stay in your home.

#fatigue a feeling you
can't keep or you'll be
missing the days you could
sleep.

end of a rope just
means you need more.

Emotions being
What they are
Tethered to
Nothing at all
Time and memories
Perceptions true
Or imagined
Too few calories
Or an abundance
Thereof
Even a lack
Of sleep
A body #fatigued
Vulnerable to
Their machinations
Animating a body
As they will
When even a little
Peace
Preferable

Be wary
of #clingingshadows
Be sure
to count how many
you cast when
you step into the light.
Make certain
that somehow
you haven't picked up
a hitchhiker.
