a sideways mob

Channel update: Mistakes were made. I accidentally deleted the entirety of Ch. 1 Folly Poet. On brand, huh? It gives me the opportunity to rewrite those pieces to be quicker reads. Forward progression will continue at a slightly slower clip; irregardlessly, it will continue.

Folly Poet Arrived, part ??? disco light soothed as i crossed the floor to stand in the shadow of the bust of Pallas may i have the key for trois Sign the Guest Registry while I check Vacancies. the ancient tome was red bound names listed in black ink #FollyPoet #vss365

@redsaid1 Thanks. Good parsing, everyone :)

If you're here, it's coursing through your veins. Some even flaunt it on the skin. We add it to paper in print or by hand. It stains and is more permanent than a line in the sand. It's another cognate shared by English and Afrikaans. The #vss365 #prompt for April 7, 2026 is #ink

Folly Poet Arrived, part ?? my tongue moved sign said different Different management why change They thought a roadway was to be built. I expect tourists. wait you redesigned the whole place but the sign Ran out of funds. Trois, the bird insisted, startlingly. #FollyPoet

@binhacked1 lost the entire Ch 1 in the attempt. some things just cannot be done by me at least. i'm sure others have managed it

@aSidewaysMob You're welcome!

I'm sorry I didn't realize Those are poems You wrote You're a poet An artist They're art I thought I had bought Into The rambling Diary of A patient Patient Scribbling Thier wares, Mares, Of insanity, On the page

@binhacked1 your encouragement means much at this moment. i'm trying to index all these poems, but it's so clunky... now i'm deleting w/ no idea of the results to come... thanks. you are the peek of light to my valley of task xD

@marczh68 energy spirals clockwise for me. works

@lakeswriter81 thanks for the giggles

“Just to recap, Sir: you drunkenly bet Miss Davenport that you could #arm wrestle a silverback gorilla with one arm tied behind your back whilst peeling an orange with your mouth.” “At the time, it sounded a marvellous idea and quite achievable, Hargreaves. Then I got sober and the gorilla got drunker. Then, as you can see, things took a sideways turn.” “That’s one way of putting it.” “Do you think they’ll be able to reattach my arm?” “They’ll have to remove it from your anus first, Sir.” #vss365

@binhacked1 i learned Vomitorium today. it's early to be this complete

The seismic dance Thrown against the cars Vomitorium Down the track Smelling of Metallic rot Downtrodden decay Overflowing Honeywagon With Lemon Of course! Stopping at death's Vocation vacation Station Toot Toot!

@redsaid1 Thanks. Good word hunting today, everybody :)

In English it also means to weaponise. In Afrikaans its other definition is to be poor. In both languages it's a cognate for a bodily limb. The #vss365 #prompt for April 6, 2026 is #arm

@binhacked1 this might be my favorite so far. the crumbles as particles plunging through lace with shears.

The fog Hides Truth From memory Dunked Like biscuits In my tea Delicately A fallacy Plunge and drown that fucking biscuit til it disintegrates. Delicate is a scam of pretention. Honesty is rough, worn, tired. And it doesn't need tea. Fog

@letothenot16993 Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind, puberty. Though I became a reader through Shakespeare comics at a younger age, which worked a similar change. War and Peace at 19. I read it at my first bar. Took awhile. I had read it in full before I was a legal drinker, mostly there.

Everyone has a coming of age story. A string of moments that washes away your childhood and thrusts you into the wide world beyond. What’s yours?

Folly Poet Arrival, part trois deux deux location location location i mused as if I had options someone chose here on turning the Last Motel in the World with a light that said vacancy promising enough i felt emptiness is a vast thing to sell #FollyPoetSeries #Poem

@binhacked1 an unsuspecting audience w/ great potential for shock and awe body humor. gets them headed home, excited

Polite indifference Is not Enthusiasm Or Encouragement But Rather Simple Acknowledgement Paying The price Of Wanting to leave
