My #Introduction. I talk about life in #CambridgeMA and #Boston, #engineering, #science, #radios (#SDR, #HAM, #LoRa, #MeshCore), #pinball, #film, retro computers/video games, and more. I collect #art, #LaserDiscs, study #horology, visit museums (The Met, MFA, Harvard Art #Museum) and support my local #library. I read #poetry and books on #architecture, #design, and #urbanism. I walk or take public #transit everywhere. I practice #permacomputing and self-hosting, running #BSD where I can.

I finally scanned the covers of my great grandma's #poetry books that she wrote. They were printed in the 90s and were sold at a hospital she was at and they raised funds for the hospice. I typed each of the #poems up and they are on my #wattpad. Now I have done the front covers (that she drew!) I think I can lie the project to rest.... That is unless I know someone in publishing who could republish them again on a grand(er) scale 🤔 https://www.wattpad.com/user/TessiaEliseKirkShaw #poem

So this night I have completed #writing up the first collection (of the two) of #poems that my great grandma wrote. She wrote them in the late 90s and sold them with the profits going to a hospital that she went to. I discovered them my grandma's attic a few years ago and wanted to do something with them... And so part one of my task complete. It gives me a weird sense of pleasure and finality to present 28 poems that she had written. https://www.wattpad.com/story/358487380-simple-rhymes-by-ruby-n-ramsell #poetry #poem #poet

A re- #introduction I'm a #writer and working on yet another draft of a novel. I post about things that interest me and will engage with thoughtful people. For mental health reasons, I don't post about #politics much. The #worldonfire and I grieve over it every day, as well as show-up, contribute, protest, and vote. I respect people who know the source of their news & cull out misinformation. I read a minimum of 3 newspapers a day. (IMO we have to keep #journalism esp. #localnewspapers alive.) I'm a member of one of the groups our (USA) House Speaker would like to get rid of: #LGBTQ I'm a #breastcancer survivor. I hate war, nukes, guns, nazis, and bullies. I love my wife, my #dog, the #cats across the street, my friends, #theatre #musicals #films some #tv #nonviolence #qigong and #taichi #greenchile and #NewMexico . Books: I'll read most anything. Esp. #mysteries #scifi #poetry #haiku #history

A snippet from one of my favorite illustrated #books of #poetry "What Shall We Do Without Us" by Kenneth Patchen.

I might just post the whole series since its such a hard to find book.

#introduction #aboutme #vegetarian #nonviolence #doctorwho #amWriting #punkrock #peace #mentalhealth #poetry I'm a former teacher and nonviolence facilitator. I blog prolifically and create lotsa videos. I self-publish, and am trying to get a literary agent interested in my new novel... I like word play, so feel free to scroll past my silly puns. What else? I'm an old punk rocker, a social justice activist and I eat vast quantities of #chocolate. Also, I write a lot about #ocd

The end.

Here’s something I wrote about being #asexual and the assumptions allosexual people make about me because, just by existing, I pass for what I’m not. Once I found the name for what I felt, what described me, I realized I didn’t need to “perform” in order to be loved. #MastoArt #poetry #art #Pride #PrideMonth

Escape When we get out of the glass bottles of our own ego, and when we escape like squirrels turning in the cages of our personality and get into the forests again, we shall shiver with cold and fright but things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in, and passion will make our bodies taut with power, we shall stamp our feet with new power and old things will fall down, we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper. - D.H. Lawrence #Forest #Poetry #Gondwana #Rainforests #ForestBathing #Escape #DHLawrence

As I was writing this, the only thing I could think was “Yup. Makes sense. 20 years later and I’m now officially in the Big Sty ‘Itz A Problem’ phase of my artistic life.” And that was the instrumental that played in my head the entire time. Except I’m not going to war with the hip-hop industry…my beef with IG and TikTok all these social media monoliths and how they favor only the bigger creators. All while the rest of us are trying to figure out how to get “the algorithm” to stop gatekeeping and open the door for us too. #HipHop #Poetry #Art #WritingCommunity #MastoArt

【Drink Blood Of Apples】 Drink Blood Of Apples © Surazeus 2023 05 28 My face has turned so white with joyful angst I disappear in marble statue core, yet leave my name, and dates of birth and death, carved into hard flesh of the universe so when I walk away from my own tomb only my voice remains as wordless wind. Though I have forgotten all I once knew I read my story in strange words I write with blood that flows with tears of hopeless love which glow as weird dramatic scenes of life on flashing television screen of truth to blind millions of people with fake news. Because my living body conjures love as screaming shadow of newspaper tales I clothe my naked mind with simple faith till I become alien to my best friends who walk shattered hillsides of scarlet trees to drink blood of apples with careless laugh. Awake in misty dimension of facts which people hide in secret treasure chests, I challenge divine doctrines of old priests who strew ancestral seeds in rancid soil so screaming warriors burst from field of dreams to dance on wooden bridge of anxiousness. With musical potency stripping lies I choose to believe unreality appearing clear around my naked soul when I rise fragile from skeleton veil to incorporate passion of weeping words poured from wild blazing wisdom of the sun. When lucid dome of Heaven forged from gold shimmers bright under green waves of innocence I sail small fishing boat of eager hope toward sacred isle that sinks in sea of eyes since I must choose the meaning of my life by writing novel no one would believe. So I dance barefoot with unfettered glee on fallen statues of rebellious kings who die alone in castles of cracked skulls since no one listens to their prophecies misconstructing strange visions of the truth which echo vacantly through eerie caves. Archaic sentiment for river towns, which I deny could poison my foul heart, disturbs that universe of fallen gods because we need no tyrants to obey, so we will vote for intelligent clowns to lead our empire from the broken throne. surazeus.blogspot.com/2023/05/… #Poem #Poetry #Pastoral #Necropastoral #MetaModernism #Romanticism #MetaRomanticism #AmericanDream #Symbolism #Existentialism #Surrealism #NegativeCapability #NewGnosticism #MetaRealism #Satire #NationalPoetryMonth #GlobalPoetryMonth https://venera.social/display/85a863ed-2064-73f9-26a6-c20061827669
