Nighttime Tea
@nighttimetea.bsky.social
A hot cup of tea on a cold starry night.
Living in Kanata. They/ Them. Left, and I don't mean handed. No AI.
I follow people intentionally not for numbers, so if I followed you, I think you're neat.
Am I writing the book or is the book writing me? :O

Magic, my birth right
yours too
Is just #science.
Locked in Bluebeard's tower.
But many hands are picking the lock, now.
The wife of Prometheus hid in that terrible room. You've never heard of her but her husband is famous, unkillable,
She's been holding a fistful of fire for 1000 years.

I have nothing normal to say about literature that hasn't already been said.
I could get crazy with it.
#Literature? More like cliterature, bro can't find it without help and when he does he doesn't know what to do with it.
What do you mean Fight Club isn't an aspirational tale?

"Making history" as though it's bread to be broken and shared as spoils and not a moving, breathing thing.
History, the largest living organism, measures not in distance covered but it's unbroken temporality.
From "now" to "back then", the best way to travel, is, books.

What's he thinking? Wrong answers only. (Because no one can truly know the mind of a cat so we're all wrong in advance).

Earth drew her map with the quills of living birds - described shorelines, air currents, hedgerows and tree lines.
Migrating Elk write tracks, now the wolf's border, now the bear's.
We took her pen and dipped it in blood to hold the borders still.
#Geography is written by the conqueror.

Why don't I become #famous
so I can hate it
Why don't I become adored and scorned, different from now
ignored, bored, and a little sore about the whole damn thing
Why don't I stop dredging up painful dark truths and say the line
"And they lived happily ever after."
Famously boring.

To know without context is the hand grasping for the line, the shadow, the feeling
The hand is small and unconnected to a body, yet
It was not given lessons on love, it was born to follow the curve of a smile and return it
#Education passes or fails
The hand still grasps but knows not why

In order to get the proletarians back under control in the wake of the golden age of workers (post successful peasant revolt) in the 1500's the government of France legalized rape against proletariat women in order to pit the working class against each other and weaken them.

#Creatures whose existence is disputed:
-Birds
-Cryptids
-Mother Earth
-A Good Billionaire
-The Forgiving Ghost
-Jesus, the real one, who was extremely gay and a socialist.
-Me, but only disputed by myself at 1am, by the morning I am somewhat confident I do exist.

The blackberries were so big I could only fit a few in my hands before gently laying them into the basket.
It smells like flowers, honey, and sweet dark wine.
The pride of this season's growth, here, I am grateful. So I swear to care for this hedge, as it cares for me.

It's Batty's 2nd birthday!
Mischief Night suits him very much.
Likes:
Hair elastics
Pipe cleaners (I stg he can smell them. He's banned from them but if there's a stray one in the house he will find it)
Strawberry cat toys
Morning cuddles
Happy drooling
Attacking feet
Showers

Melted tin simmered in the crucible on the table, bathed by full moonlight coming through the open window.
The alchemist muttered, possessed,
"Lunam turn stagnum ad argentum!"
Lunar moths were thrown in the molten metal, to turn tin to silver.
The moon wept and hid her face.

If I could write something that would get me a deal
Recognition
A medal to hang that says, "#1 Not Imposter, Definitely Worth Reading"
My words would still be dark, disjointed, too weird, and give splinters.
I would never wear that medal or believe it anyway.
But I can't stop.

High school is an #experiment. A petri dish of confused multi-celled organisms reaching out with anxious tendrils, slapped away, cradling the child with one broken arm and laughing outward.
Query: What happens to the wide-eyed child?
Conclusion: Close your eyes and bark.

Spring, Year 1101
Can you drown on dry land? Mist began to feel like a living thing, creeping down the mountains as ice melted.
A silver white hand wrapping around trees and boulders, clawing down the throat and into the lungs, sprouting fungus.
Still, the rain did not end.
