will return some time is social media for me? no doubt how I feel 10-23-2026 #inktober prompt = anti-#dapper mood + #vss365 I #doubt that I'm going to be doing a very short story 365 any time soon.

#inktober prompt made me ponder a #beacon of hope, for a little while today, and I then thought about after a storm or in my case a mood clears.

After voting, I just decided to take a day off from social media and inktober. I did draw it, posted on IG then got upset with myself, … and now I just want to draw and think about all the things that do not talk with words, or ballots, or initiatives.

quiet sloth at home kicking less than ideal thoughts kept far from nervous #inktober 20th prompt #lounge + #vss365 #haiku #nervous

not confused at all text training to be human cat to keep the house #vss365 #training + #inktober #confused

Becoming a werewolf wasn’t as great as movies and books made it out to be... #vss365 sneakers #vssdaily must #microfiction #flashfiction

No #contraption, for #intober prompt. A dream. A house, foundation way up above water, all by itself. Looked abandoned, but at closer inspection, a safe house? Young man in a wet suit holding a beverage. His stare said, "how did you find me?" Did he won the #lottery ? An oligarch's son? #vss365

all shadow and light unexpected reflection gift given to self #vss365 prompt #unexpected #haiku morphed with #inktober prompt #gangly

Hi Lin Hart @poetry-with-hart.bsky.social Been over pondering the algorithms a bit too much also, as the past few years since around 2018 apps have gotten bad. The end of blog era about 2012 ish. The beginning of social past the 90s forums 2005 ish? Anyways. Being to verbose. Nice to "meet" ya.

#inktober prompt #hooray ... who even uses that word today? don't look at me I used to be a pumpkin with guts and seed potential.

Oh? If I'd bothered to notice the #vss365 prompt is #dead could have written a #haiku for my jack-O-lantern. no guts dead inside lit candle melted and burnt grin cut with a knife

war for old white men over rated bravery the coward lived on #vss365 prompt #bravery huh? #haiku P.s. #inktober prompt #lady... sort of all in one because, burning daylight and have to get back to work.

Bravery it is not the hard thing you prepared for all your life knowing you could do it it is your darkest day when even breath is a struggle and you get out of bed #vss365

It really seems the prompts #spread #project would be a no brainer for any social media app. This seems to show exactly what kind of #prompt people would use for their own ends, but algorithms don't grok. In the hey day, you'd have gotten a hundred books or indie movies, etc :(sorry, I have thoughts

Write. Create. Be inspired. The #2WordPrompt for 13-OCT-26 is: Spread & Project #Prompt

Dog on mind-body problem not working I think therefore I am, about many things. But words are flimsy, flim-flam, just sounds or written symbolic reduplication, without a path past good intention with a smell to it to make those words solid and work in reality. #Inktober prompt #flimsy

words repeated like rocks are there deltas in time-lines? stream of life flows on #vss365 prompt #delta #haiku title: friends always

The big fish eat the little ones, -- but, we aren't fish, and AI isn't intelligent. #Inktober prompt #toss Our copyright, our intellectual property tossed to the digital "sharks". See previous post for link and the full rant text on SubStack note. substack.com/@uvabe/note/...

Message in a bottle. #Inktober day 11. Today, saw the prompt was #rescue . Then thought about the last critters I've rescued, spiders with glass and paper and a few snails nibbling on old fire wood, lately. Then felt, Un-Cat needs to be rescued a bit perhaps? ... and I need to be rescued from it.

no sound airless scream drowning in cement silence heart #quakes and flutters #haiku title: cut off from other people by an algorithm #vss365 the hashtag is the only thing they are allowed to see

I know it's perhaps lame and "small" thinking of me, but it is true. The art and worse the writing I produce has been totally changed by algorithms programed for greed, instead of supporting artists and future authors. #inktober

Today's #inktober brought to you by me going to the #phone store yesterday, and talking to this poor guy about how I hated the direction of the new phones and I wasn't going to buy any of the ones they had in stock because they all were #AI pushing digital harassment devices.

Oh wow, today's #inktober prompt is #panic ... well, this may be irritation more than panic, but accidentally, almost.

Cross posting quick today to go back outside/away from screens. #Inktober ​​https://www.instagram.com/p/DeDHVtLAXEW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

and of course BS didn't read the IG link as a link. *blerg* whatever, why am I even bothering to do this?

Hello October #inktober drew for a while today, and the first idea, a heart in a winter tree with no leaves was the one that stuck I guess. P.s. I don't care what the prompt is, that's not what it's about for me. LCD Digital #inkdrawing

The Spiral of Silence is important today. We are being silenced on social media. So that billionaires can earn more money from our on-line time. We see videos and advertising from people or (animals) we don’t know, instead of seeing our friends and followers posts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_...

Inktober is coming. …hmm…? #Inktober is still a thing isn’t it? Hasn’t been bought up by some company who thinks they are a person or something… I hope.

hence the last novel don't want to be a writer salty tears crisis #2wordprompt - hence/crisis #WritingCommunity #WritersOfBlueSky #haiku

Looked up the yellow needles branches close to the trunk of Douglas fir trees. It is drought and heat stress, it happens in the fall or late summer when the trees are stressed.

Aug 12th, I’ve decided not to “give” them my “free” time. … but that doesn’t mean I’ve given up. There’s no such thing, you know what I mean.

Hi @premeemohamed.com thanks for making me laugh today, I needed that. At our house, we have a running joke about words we read and don't know the meaning of. Just saying, it can be a ton of fun to learn new words. Or new to us science data, or new to us artists, philosophical ideas etc...

Every single time someone is like "Oh can you stop doing do X, Y, or Z in your writing" I'm like a) I don't care what you want b) I will continue to do what *I* like c) Go eat a pinecone d) You can think it all you want but you CANNOT ASK. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY. YOU CANNOT. NO. BAD. NO.

ALSO THIS, which is so well-put. (And I swear this is the last thing I'll say about the word discourse.) To me is it not really the 'I don't know this word' that bugs me, it's the ask. You do not get to ORDER UP what an artist provides! You get what you get! When did this change?!!??
