The Carnivorous Plant

The things I love enough to share

Awakened Again

Two days without sleep is apparently too much now

The imprint of the door hinge screams at a low cranial whisper

Mind defending reality

“Things have changed

there will be grace

Resting isn’t an unforgivable sin.”

THEY RETURNED

notifications blaring

doors slamming

“Is it me?”

it was….

The leaf blower began

The impression of that old migraine

Sinks deeper into each sulci

seducing nausea

The leaf blower holds a constant violent note

Battled to find protection…

it was nowhere in sight.

…so iSpoke

The small gash echoes their message

“Do you need to go to the ER? Hospital? No? then!…”

right as hot tears well

They retort “Yeah it’s like that!”

Coming home from Barbados to sewing patterns on the table and dog hair on the wooden floor was too much for them….

Graciously, full ears drown out the words whispered between mAI name

Until the cold silence returns again

Coming out of the cave revealed

Clothes packed in trash bags

Belongings boxed up

In the place of mercy

Rules were found

No wonder the lessons learned were

to lie

to hide

to crave the blessing of being dust again

“A new thing”:

quietly

with patient kindness in hand

iAsk God

what’s needed next

to clear this level and fly to freedom

even if every rich thing must be left

[mollisetpacifica]

That’s the best love they know how to give.

It’s a challenge

When you’d rather be comfortable

have it all your way

control.

It’s suffocating and

if there’s anything to be said imo…

Die.

To everything that keeps you there

To everyone you’ve stayed for

To everyplace that anchors you somewhere you don’t belong

You don’t even know how many will be freed

Through your act it dying

A leaf blower indoors is wild work

Almost like sweeping would have been a taxing task 🤔

To be so frustrated by a “dirty house” you’d think they would have cleaned it before they left!

Was glad to watch them cut her off and she just walk away! No {over}explanation, no fighting for love, just walking away and choosing to take care of herself. Like, why let them see you cry when you know they don’t care like that? Good on her.

Btw

Went out and put the garage workspace together once *whatstheirface* got tuckered out

Was worried they’d try to justify throwing all your materials away

PS: the vessel has a few more dings and that splinter…finally got removed

Really hoping to watch this turn around for

I love nature. Look at this animal. It’s made of bowling alley carpet. Beautiful!

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

[rubysapphrald]

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!

Today's wasp of the day is Embolemus nearcticus!

Credits

This is another very ant-like wasp. And that may very well be on purpose, as the (wingless) females are most often found within ant nests and the burrows of small mammals. This family in general is poorly understood and rarely encountered. What I personally find most interesting is their face shape— it reminds me more of a grasshopper than anything I've seen among wasps!

one of those things you only learn if you’re still and quiet enough at low tide is that thousands of fiddler crabs moving in mud make a pitter-patter noise like soft raindrops

it would be fun if an angel and a vampire were friends i think

[valtsv]

vampire: ugh, you mortals simply can't comprehend the timescale i live on. i've watched your empires rise and fall, your cities crumble to dust. i find your short little lives amusing at best. i -

angel: HI, I HAVE BEEN ALIVE SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME AND I NOTICED YOU ARE ALSO SOMEWHAT OLD?

vampire: ...sure. hey what was the dawn of time like?

angel: PRETTY BORING ACTUALLY. NOTHING ELSE EXISTED YET.

vampire: oh, man, i feel you. i slept through, like, the entire 14th century it was so boring. everyone was dying of plague and shit anyway so i didn't miss much.

[valtsv]

vampire: hey i am outside your apartment

angel: YOU'VE JUST BEEN STANDING THERE? FOR HOW LONG?

vampire: uhhhhhhh a mere speck in comparison to our immortal lives so don't worry about it honestly. i need you to invite me in though.

angel: OF COURSE, I'M SO SORRY. PLEASE COME IN.

vampire: *steps over the threshold and immediately starts hissing and coughing like a cat with a bad hairball*

angel: OH, I'M SO SORRY. MY APARTMENT IS CONSIDERED HOLY GROUND BECAUSE I LIVE IN IT. I SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU.

vampire: *coughing* it's fine. do you - *cough* *wheeze* what are your thoughts on chinese? i know a great place just a couple of blocks from here
