Say hello to Barbara 👀🌳🌵🌴🪾 This is my nearest and dearest tree in the car park in Perth in breezy Scotland. I believe she is a Tremulous Aspen, and she just beams out glimmers every single day ❤️- just by being herself. I'm so thankful to live among Barb and her other pals

NURTURED
You in a fairylit womb
Gifted from she to me.
A pace is set;
A-slow-motion
of hands began
with cushioned consent

Skull deeply felt,
Spirals trace on hair,
Precise pressure in layers
Held firm, in knowing care.

Swept away beyond memory
Hair pulled with intent
adding weight to the stars...

Sheesh - have U been spying in my mind last week ???
A dream
And all that is healed collapses
Relapses
Start from scratch again
Memories that refuse to fade
I don't want them to
Your permanence
Cognitive dissonance

Thanks for likes, reposts + general blue sky wholesome-as-heck-love. More poetry(?)will follow but for now here's a moment from Bench-World, a wildly non-exotic but deeply pleasant haunt of mine, in Perth, sporadically-sunny(?) Scotland. Mystery mushroom and magpie eyeing up my KitKat

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades.

Not true.

Pure cursed madness!!!??
Hell and damnation to them..NO CHIPPY SAUCE,WHAT IS GOING WRONG WITH EMBRA
Fellow Edinburghers...there is a chippy in the Grassmarket that does not offer chippy sauce.
Yes, you heard me. A chippy in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle that doesn't do chippy sauce.
Horrified doesn't come close.

I wonder how many people on Twitter and Instagram will suddenly not be posting? I wonder how many less likes Farage and Reform will be getting?

Good morning, lovelies. Today's word is #oblioscend - to slowly let go of past hurts, like sinking them into the ocean of time.

"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in" Leonard Cohen quote, pretty apt for these wild days. There's always been turbulent times, & then change does come. Even the tiniest cracks can harbour light & life

Hard times to look closely at all that's going on, but it needs to be. It's all about profit now, not the customer, keeping the capitalist machine turning and us relying on it doing so to feed the shareholders as the priority. Ideally through our tech so we stay distracted + wanting to buy more
Why is absolutely everything so utterly depressing now? Is everything just ... poisoned by greed and stupidity and soullessness?

I'm so fucking tired.
