every day is a good day to read Maya Angelou:

i keep on dying,
because i love to live.

#poetry #poems #booksky #currentlyreading #books #mayaangelou
page 131 from Maya Angelou's Poems book: the lesson i keep on dying again. veins collapse, opening like the small fists of sleeping children. memories of old tombs, rotting flesh and worms do not convince me against the challenge. the years and cold defeat live deep in lines along my face. they dull my eyes, yet i keep on dying, because i love to live.

🎶people can be so cold
they'll hurt you
and desert you
well, they'll take your soul
if you let them
oh yeah, but don't you let them🎶

(it's a James Taylor on repeat kind of a day)

this is Tychus.
today he's requesting:
more blankets,
less fascism.
pleaseandthankyou

#dogsofblusky #blueskydogs #tychusknowsbest #tuesdayvibes
a close up of Tychus's face, a blue nosed pitbull who is just trying to sleep on his soft gray couch. his brown eyes are half open. his ears are floppy. he's a handsome, sleepy guy. he wears a blue, white, and purple scarf. the left side of his face is adorably smashed up against the couch cushion. he has a very boopable nose but he's prefer you'd leave it alone. in fact, please stop taking his picture he'd just like to sleep.
