All I can say is I hope the two dudes responsible for this took their time with it, and if I can find out their names and such, I'll send those fuckers the nicest care package they've ever seen.

Seeing someone post about Ginna at all broke me, me and my buddies used to go to Sodus and sit on the dock by the lighthouse and watch the reactor lights back in high school. What a blast from the past.

So you're telling me the photo I took with my phone to upload to Discord was fine, but if I copy that image to a *different* discord, it exceeds the file size and I need to buy Nitro. Any alternatives to the raggedy-assed, useless waste of space that is Discord?

Sup everybody, I'm back and it's day 21 of sharing my #poetry. Another poem I wrote during the darkest times, and some of my favorite rhyme work I've done. Just because life is a mess, doesn't mean you can't make something beautiful with the pieces. Thanks for taking the time to read this+

Beside Myself
Jan 21, 2024

Hearing the voice near the nape of my neck, my mouth falls agape, can’t keep my fear in check.

I plead with the needles, like ice, as they wheedle and worm their way greedily into my brain.

A whisper just kissed my ear, pissed, fists raised in the air, praising then laying me low on the deck.

The blows fall like snow on my mind as it squirms, slowly freezer burned, yearning to banish the pain.

Who is that man in the mirror, in fear I say, wiping the steam away, he becomes clearer.

Tired eyes sagging with bags from the baggage I’ve tarried from carrying out to the trash,

Leer at the fat balding steer with the shell of my face which once held the dreams I held so dear.

Gagging, I stagger away, my reflection inspecting this useless old thing I’ve become.

That didn’t rhyme with the line that would make sense, but what sense would that make when real life makes none,

I checked all the boxes, but foxes broke into the hen house and stole the eggs I’d yet to lay.

Alarm bells are blaring, but people keep staring at eyes that stopped seeing a long time ago,

Life is a masquerade, I’ve never seen your face, praying each day that I’ve not long to go.

I’ve half a mind that entwines with its brother to grind down and smother the best parts of me,

They’re winning the war, but I’m losing the battles, this shattering symphony won’t let me be.

Yesterday was our two year wedding anniversary! We went to B&N, got sushi for lunch, and then spent the day being lazy as fuck. Quite possibly the perfect day.

Sup everybody, day 20 of sharing my #poetry. This one has nothing to do with Halloween season, and was just something I wrote a while ago about how I was feeling during a terrible period of life. Thanks for taking the time to read it, and have a great day!

Manic
Jan 17, 2024

Manic-depressive philosopher conceding to the fact

That he's the reason every plan he forms will jump the track.

He loves a dozen hobbies, but can't seem to choose a focus,

Indecision gnaws at him like swarming plagues of locusts.

He feels the need to end his days as soon as they begin,

A lazy oaf with no ambition, stinking of cheap gin.

A suffocating fog assails him when he's left alone,

It steals the air within his lungs, sets all his fears in stone.

A mammoth undertaking, just to rise each breaking dawn,

His shattered psyche suffering sits screaming on his lawn.

The neighbors are a bit concerned, he's looking quite unwell,

Afraid of what he'll try to do to flee his living hell.

One night, a gunshot echoed through the sleeping, peaceful town,

And when the daylight broke at last, the tragic scene was found.

Sup everyone, day 19 of sharing my #poetry! This is a #horror - #fantasy dealie about a magical vault holding an immortal terror. Thank you for reading it, I hope you enjoy it, and if you think it deserves a repost, it would be immensely appreciated. Thanks again, and have a great day!

Returning the Ring
Jan 17, 2024

Sordid creatures lurking in the depths of Shepherds Hollow,

Sacrificing serfs and swains to dark gods heathens follow.

Suffer not the souls of mortal beings breathing lies

In subtle susurrations seeking aid from lords on high.

Desperate pleas to deities despised in ages past

Heard only by the impish fiends with cries like breaking glass.

A mass of swarming horrors falls upon the barricades,

Retreating people, weeping, fall exhausted on steel blades.

Entire bloodlines butchered by a seething wall of hate,

Carving their way through a sea of vermin towards the gate.

The metal buckles easily beneath sustained assaults,

As the hosts press onwards to the sacred, magic vaults.

Lost in the cacophony, a craven, mourning cry,

Escapes the lips of mewling lordlings so afraid to die.

The marble halls become a flaming charnel house before

The gutting flames rip through the warehouse, reaching powder stores.

A panoply of detonations ripple through the keep,

Obliterating friend and foe, all are buried deep.

A muffled shriek below the rubble scatters brick and bone,

Zharraniah rises from the vaults of shattered stone.

With a cackle, blackened, bony nails pierce through a seam,

He steps behind reality to plot world ending schemes.

Hey pals. I have a friend right now who's going through it with Crohn's Disease. After putting her in the hospital, she now needs a surgery that they're demanding 30% up front for or they will cancel it. Her husband's income is now at the mercy of the government shutdown.

She really needs help. 🙏

Some piggies I painted for the very good podcast horror series, @thewrongstation.bsky.social ! This is from the episode "A Long Slice of Ham".

Some pigs in the dark, lit by a flashlight, behind a wire fence. they look rotten and diseased, with dead white eyes. one of the pigs is grinning and showing a mouth of rough flat teeth. in the darkness, more eyes glow in the light.
