In case of doubt poet-away

Among other things this is an occasional queer (self)poetry blog

[reverierhymes]

just like there’s freedom in abandonment

There’s empowerment in losing everything

There’s optimism in hitting rock bottom.

There’s power in knowing your worst fears came true and you’re still surviving

Someway. Somehow.

[fox-n-trinkets]

in honor of Loki and Trans Remembrance day

hail loki,

who changes shape so easily,

who helps carry the fire of strength and resistance in our hearts.

may they protect those that don’t confirm to the gender binary,

help them stay strong and safe.

be yourself to the best of your ability in honor of those who have been lost, continue to do what they can no longer do

me on an average day: i need a treat

me on a bad day: i need a deluxe treat

Maybe it's just cause I'm not feeling well, but I heard something on a post here that really irked me.

I came across a video where this woman was already speaking nonsense, but then, she makes an off-hand comment about how Odin was the figure head for Nazi's cause he's perfect for the role as a death and war God.

Like, girl, don't piss me off right now.

We already have enough on our plates trying to explain that heathens and nazis are two separate groups and that our gods don't support that shit and neither do we.

Like, she could've literally said that norse symbols and the imagery of the gods was STOLEN, and misused.

But no, she had to call Odin the perfect Nazi symbol or whatever.

Is it true that our symbols have been misused? Yes.

Does that need to be addressed and is that an ongoing battle for us to take our symbols back? Also yes

Are our gods fucking Nazi lovers??? NO.

You can talk about history, you can discuss a current issues, but for the love of the Gods don't say stupid shit to offend and entire religion and make our lives harder.

"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

[aropride]

what my atoms are doing is their fucking business man i'm busy trying to stop my dog from eating tissues directly out of the box

[duckbunny]

nuclei don't touch, but the nucleus is not the core of reality. reality is made of electrons dancing. reality is made of bonds.

you pet your dog and the atoms that are you brush up against the atoms that are him, and the electrons that are you press into the electrons that are him, and both of them change their movement.

electrons of course are not really particles and do not really move.

you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur, and both are changed by the contact. you are not made of little motes floating alone in a void. you are a single unfathomable chord formed of a trillion vibrations, and so is he. and the note you play is changing at every moment by what you touch and how you breathe, and so is his. and atoms do not really have edges, and to touch is to interact, and when you put your hand on your dog the universe does not know that you are separate. the song expands to hold you both.

I've found my anchor, oh old and wise one.

The eloquent one.

It's a faith in myself that like springtime makes the icy springs flow back to life.

A safe space inside my mind.

I'm growing and creating roots, learning to live in the moment.

Learning to trust my steps back and forth in order not to fall again.

It is simple and yet

It feels safe and nice.

Is this what healing feels like?

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

[rose-of-pollux]

Reblog if you're a writer who doesn't use AI.

[pghumfort]

I have never used AI and I never will.

[tarttygoodness]

Never used AI. Never will.

[bitchin-beskar]

let me say this with my chest, loud enough for the people in the back:

FUCK AI

I'm back to the old house.

The one in a suburban land.

From the street time stood still

The same buildings,

the same neighbours

welcome me

It should feel ... familiar,

Should I feel the same way? ...

Is it wrong to flee? ...

From the path which was taught

by my forefathers? ...

The house just

doesn't feel the same.

The old owners are long gone,

the lived in furniture,

and the walls who once florished with pictures of happier times.

No longer stand beside me.

Now.

The walls are bare naked and white.

The roof has started collapsing,

The garden is a jungle,

and the faithful dog

has followed the path of the owners.

Leaving it's kennel for good.

I should feel something

but I can't summon my memories.

They are foreign to me.

Nonsense! They aren't.

They can ...

never be.

The hot sun burns my skin yet

leaving me chilled

because the chimes,

have kept ringing

from within the skeleton

that stands inside the house.

Saying remember me ... always ...

[scavengedluxury]

I don't know, how about switching it off?

[wilwheaton]

Have you tried turning it off, and not turning it back on again?

Riddled with poison darts, I pull them out one by one, missing you terribly with each withdrawal.
