Hi bsky followers, I've reached the point when being on here is eroding my already battered mental health, so I'm taking a break

Be kind to yourselves and each other, and see you in a while

777: The Loneliness One dare not sound
Emily Dickinson 777 The Loneliness One dare not sound - And would as soon surmise As in its Grave go plumbing To ascertain the size - The Loneliness whose worst alarm Is lest itself should see - And perish from before itself For just a scrutiny - The Horror not to be surveyed - But skirted in the Dark - With Consciousness suspended - And Being under Lock - I fear me this - is Loneliness - The Maker of the soul Its Caverns and its Corridors Illuminate - or seal -

Public transport in my city has a new "why you should use trams and buses" campaign, and the reasoning seems to be "because on trams and buses, you can be an asshole."

(Translations in alt text)
Ad for public transport that shows two men on a tram talking on their phones with laptops open. It says "we're more than public transport, we're your office" Ad for public transport that shows three lads on a bus, one of them turned backwards, playing cards and laughing. The ad says "we're more than public transport, we're your casino"

Today: Emily Dickinson has homophonous thoughts on ears

733: The Spirit is the Conscious Ear.

733 The Spirit is the Conscious Ear. We actually Hear When We inspect - that's audible - That is admitted – Here -- For other Services – as Sound - There hangs a smaller Ear Outside the Castle - that Contain The other - only - Hear --

576: I prayed, at first, a little Girl
576 I prayed, at first, a little Girl, Because they told me to - But stopped, when qualified to guess How prayer would feel – to me - If I believed God looked around, Each time my Childish eye Fixed full, and steady, on his own In Childish honesty - And told him what I'd like, today, And parts of his far plan That baffled me The mingled side Of his Divinity - And often since, in Danger, I count the force 'twould be To have a God so strong as that To hold my life for me Till I could take the Balance That tips so frequent, now, It takes me all the while to poise - And then - it doesn't stay -

The desperation in this. This place could be beautiful, right? Right?

"Good Bones" by Maggie Smith
Good Bones Maggie Smith Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I've shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I'll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that's a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
