Looks like I need to buy or borrow this writer's book, as i can't seem to find a full copy of this #poem online, 'cause wow, what a stanza #poems #poetry (H/t @minnesotareformer.com )

"Brett Ortler, a Minnesota writer, sent me [journalist J. Patrick Coolican] a poem of his, “The Smoke from Distant Fires” that’s timely this week. Here’s a piece of it:

'On the water, you might be able to spot the sun.

If the veil of smoke lets up, the flat red disk

limps across the horizon,

but its reflection on the water is something else—

a bright wavering flame,

a warning that what is coming

is already here.'"

Switching back to "The Man Who Died Twice", which is the 2nd in @richardosman1.bsky.social 's "Thursday Murder Club" series, and the character of Joyce (the sometimes narrator) is just killing me 🤣 #BookSky 📚

"It must be fun doing all the training, I suppose, and creeping around with no one knowing, but blowing a man's head off from four feet away probably doesn't suit everyone. It wouldn't suit me, and it and it doesn't suit [redacted to avoid spoilers]. Actually, perhaps it would suit me? You never know until you try, do you? I never thought I would like dark chocolate, for example"

With apologies to @mementomorty.bsky.social & @boozybadger.lawyersandliquor.com , *synergy*! 😂

User Memento Morty posted "if he makes a full recovery, I will post a nude", then quote-posted themselves, saying "well.fuck". Right below, user Boozy Badger posted "If Mitch McConnell appears in public now, we know that the GOP just sacrificed Lindsey Graham in some bizarre ritual transferring life forces", then quote-posted themselves, saying "Welp"

We've got coriander! Harvested a bunch of cilantro, the rest flowered

Found it! We always get at least one four-leaf clover in our yard (one year i found a five-leaf clover!) and i was having a hard time finding it this year, but I got it! 🍀

Can't quite get a clear shot of it, but we have one, fuzzy, red clover blossom in our yard! I love it! 😊☘️

Omg, the synergy 🤣

Post from Rural Indexing Project that shows a store called "Horney's". They say "Horney's (on main) Clinton, IN" this is below a post from Rev. Solomon, who says (in response to "posted by you, this could mean several things"), "You think the worst of me...keep that up 😌"

Oh a bunch, but two that spring to mind

Album cover for Florence and the Machine's "High As Hope". Florence Welch in pale pink, short-sleeved dress, holding two flowers, standing in a corner - the paint peeling. She stares intensely at the camera

Album cover for Maggie Rogers' "Heard It In A Past Life" (blurry Maggie Rogers in a white tank top and jeans, a large red cloak/sheet billowing in the moon; the full moon in the sky - also blurry)

And here is its wonky partner Crooked as hell, but the coloring is cool 😎 #art

A sort of hourglass shaped vessel, crooked; leaning to one side. It doesn’t really come across in the photo, but it's a pretty cool-looking dark purple (and you can almost see my reflection, taking the photo!)

Overhead shot of the small vessel. Here the rim is more easily discernible as purple, while inside, the blue dripped down in cool drops, not quite reaching the bright red center

BEHOLD 😆 I was trying to make something small, but not THIS small 🤣 But the fact that i was able to glaze it without losing it in the vat of glaze is a win in my book #art

A teeny little pot/bowl, in my palm. Not even an inch across. Glazed a sort of gradient pink to red to dark blue-purple

Y'all, I'm dying 🤣

A selection of visual jokes, all a take on the phrase "what on tarnation?" The first is a map of a nation titled "Tar"; a location pin points to a spot, saying "what". The next four all show a cowboy hat on: foundation bottles, a tampon, a double helix DNA strand, and quotation marks. Hence, "what in": foundation, menstruation, mutation, quotation

In case they delete

I got a notification from a person that replied with nah. I wanted to tell you if you have nothing to contribute, silence is better. That you made another reply, stating nothing, makes it very clear to me. Ignore account option. Bye, waste of time.

Statue of a woman sitting, and leaning forward on her knees. She is looking forward, her face tense with worry or perhaps disgusted confusion. A human hand holds a smartphone up to her, thus making it look like she's reacting to something awful on the screen.

OMG THESE CAME OUT SO GOOD! 🤩 I'll take more pics later when I'm not so tired, lol. Been doing pottery with my mom for a over a year now and these are some of the best pieces I've made 😊 #art

I was trying for jammy eggs and I overshot just a tad, but I'm not upset; this is delicious! 😁 😋 🍽 (Ramen noodles, mushrooms, eggs, chives) #dinner

Yet another wonderful poem, h/t @prisonculture.bsky.social "Like You", by Roque Dalton; translated from Spanish by Jack Hirschman #poem #poems #poetry

"Like You"

Like you I
love love, life, the sweet smell
of things, the sky-blue
landscape of January days.
And my blood boils up
and I laugh through eyes
that have known the buds of tears.
I believe the world is beautiful
and that poetry, like bread, is for everyone.
And that my veins don’t end in me
but in the unanimous blood
of those who struggle for life,
love,
little things,
landscape and bread,
the poetry of everyone.

And finally. Depressing as hell, but I'm so glad I read it. I would definitely encourage other Minnesotans to do the same (Sorry I made a huge review of it, lol) #BookSky 📚 #TheWarAtHome

"Readers will likely find other aspects of the home front story that catch their attention and provoke serious thoughts about what can be learned from this history. Studying our past can be challenging, especially since it can undermine comfortable myths about our ancestors and the place we call home. But it can be intellectually rewarding, and perhaps provide some help, even some hope, as we face today's conflicts"

I wonder how much knowledge of history these women had to draw on. What i mean is, should they have know that supplicating to these men was not going to work? It seems logical though, doesn't it? "If I agree with you amd help you, you'll help me then, right?" #BookSky 📚 #TheWarAtHome

"If the government wants money from me it will have to tax me. I no longer have any heart in giving help to causes which are controlled by a group of short-sighted, incompetent men" -Sarah Colvin, Minnesota chair of the National Woman's Party, as quoted in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, October w, 1918, refusing to buy more Liberty Bonds after the U.S. Senate defeated the suffrage amendment
