Creature in the Black Night by Dayseeker is such a fantastic album, I loved every song, listened to it through three times now. Angst, death, yearning, vampires - everything you need in a solid rock album.

While I was waiting in line for labs I looked down the hall and saw this surreal sight.

I think I'll call it "Empty Promises/American Dream Lying in State".
4 black empty wheelchairs face a torn and dripping American flag encased in glass with a single florescent light illuminating down.

Bees and the wasps love the goldenrod. Good summer blooms (cut down before it seeds or you will get thousands of babies).

Finally got outside to survey the yard! The Spicebush Swallowtails *love* the Mexican Tithonia (sidenote: those plants get 10 ft tall! Not 6 like the packet said. Definitely prune when small.) 🦋🌸 #butterfly

reskinned an Ernest Hemingway quote
There is no yearning like the yearning of the heart; those who have yearned for love long enough and held it, never care for anything else thereafter. by Adelphos

Don't ever let anyone tell you brown eyes aren't beautiful.
White text on a black background that says: Brown Eyes By Adelphos Very little do the poets write of Brown eyes But that's because they never gazed Into yours Dark earth Charred Ember-glowing They are twin fires burning late at night Moonlit Warmth radiates from charcoal pools of ash Into me Loamy Night Endless summer If sunrise struck their ancient flames, I would burn  And fall into them Willingly June 7, 2025

I'm nearing the end of "An Echo of Things to Come" by James Islington and while some parts of it have frustrated me this banger of a monologue seized my brain. #booksky #reading #fantasy 📚
“The true evil is always in the reason and the excuse, not the act. I was fooled. I was angry. I wasn’t thinking. I had to do it, else worse things would have happened. It didn’t hurt anyone. It hurt less people than it would have if I hadn’t. It was to protect myself. It was to protect others. It was in my nature. It was necessary. It was right. We have both been alive long enough to know that evil only wins when it spreads. It can cause destruction, it can cause death—but those are consequences of its nature, not its victory. Not its goal. The danger of evil, the purpose of evil, is that it causes those who would oppose it to become evil also. And that, my friend, is what happened to you.” ― James Islington, An Echo of Things to Come

Brain hurt, here poem. #poetry
Not Yet Awake By Adelphos Gentle morning dew, Soothe me in the shade, Shelter me from sun And its burning rays Of painful truth.  I’m not yet awake From Dream's embrace but, Since their kiss denied, I close my dark eyes And find them there.  April 13, 2025

I got to go to the High Museum in #Atlanta for the first time during their sensory-friendly hours. Really beautiful pieces (some of the oils from the 18th/19th c looked 3D, I swear). The floors creak like mad but overall a very chill experience to share with someone. #art 🎨
Quote by Medford Johnston painted on a white wall: "I think that art is, in general, abstract. The artist and their ideas have a ballet or a battle (usually both) and move singularly forward until parts gel and some form of acceptance is established. That result is art."

Cardamine hirsuta aka bittercress is non-native/ invasive to the Americas and very weedy — but it's just so stinkin' cute! It loves cool, damp soil and can be put in salads (peppery flavor). It's seeds can launch up to 16 ft away. Many insects feed on the flowers in the spring. 🌱🌸
