I’m practical : my pen can’t stop a war : not by itself : not w/ quiet drops of invisible ink ::: but these words could be magnetic : if your script aligns : a billion pens can sway a planet : to favor peace & creativity : abandoning war to dust and history

@ZelenskyyUa it’s getting worse, not better
— may peace take over this story swiftly because the world collectively decides there’s no higher priority

This is why I stay active in this space: the #gift is constantly being given, received, reciprocated and elevated by poets, artists, writers and creatives for whom i’m grateful on a daily basis.

#vss365 #prompt for 15 June 2026 is #gift
#Gift is a fitting prompt for my last host day. I enjoy nothing so much as intriguing, imaginative, beautiful writing. Thanks for giving me the #gift of your work. Reading you is part of my writing routine. It reminds me why I write.

how far from the atom does a soul reside? uncontainable yet never #distant : the mystery of your existence.

When a reader connects to your characters and story this deeply, you know the world has changed.

“Her work is the sort you can read and re-read. The kind of poems that become friends and companions. I keep her books on my bookshelf. They are a place to go when I need to hear a friendly voice.” —Pablo Pereyra

@TheCinesthetic Russell Crowe as Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love

why not consume poetry the way you devour a bag of chips / steady crunching crumb shower / salty leaving grease stains / on everything you touch / who cares if it’s not a meal, verified nutritious / each slice lifts you up and tastes like love in the moment

@Vincent_Ledvina That coronal hole looks huge ☀️ or is this me being a novice when it comes to understanding the scale?

@WaniTutor the journey of self discovery, with its marvelous twists and turns ✨

[Laurie Perez Novelist @joybroker]

Too early for a lamp, too dark for a human eye to sort things out entirely. I’m awake, holding a notebook, aware the page is blank. How will #dawn invent the day? Will peace prevail tomorrow, or right now because I choose to let it win…

@Vincent_Ledvina wow 🤩

[Laurie Perez Novelist @joybroker]

@ZelenskyyUa peace sooner than later — may peace and sanity take over immediately — no more man made strife — we have to believe harder that this is possible

“We are living in a K-shaped economy that is getting all the more extreme. Oracle just laid off 30,000 workers. What happens when the winners are vastly outnumbered by the losers, but the losers are invisible?” @AndrewYang https://t.co/P4YIziBj80

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

In America, we’re obsessed with the winners, no matter what. https://t.co/zkEj2YH2wx

[Laurie Perez Novelist @joybroker]

will I win - at love, at life, at being? will I lose - my mind, your affection, this fickle field of popularity? who is the victor and who bears defeat - the mighty, the meek, the monstrosity? sometimes #victory is an unruly child born of dearth and wishful thinking

@ExploreCosmos_ Love this. So much metaphorical potential seeded in this field of science.

[Laurie Perez Novelist @joybroker]

My skeletal form reconfigures to deliver on the promise of new life arriving. Joints widen. Muscle… engages, driven by instinct and the ageless chemistry of love. Pain is neither bearable nor unbearable. It’s an instrument aligning me with outcome.

Beautiful eruption minutes ago from AR 4461. Associated with a large filament snacking through the active region and an M1.86 flare. Not sure this AR will have much left after this large event since the filament has released. Possible Earth-directed components with this CME!
