Man my spotify feed is on point today! Fuck yea!

In lands of the dawn where the first light is spun,
There stands a garden where dreams have begun.
Its blossoms, they whisper imbued soft and bright,
As petals reflect both the day and the night.

To enter this realm, leave your burdens behind,
And let your heart soar where the stardust is kind.
A pathway of silver through shadows does lead,
To where time stands still, where wishes are freed.

An archway of vines holds the gate made of stone,
And through it, the winds will carry your own.
The air there is thick with the scent of the earth,
Where love blooms eternal, reborn in its mirth.

Above in the sky, the constellations dance,
Each star a soft echo of fate’s fleeting chance.
Yet hidden from sight is the crescent moon’s glow,
For only the dreamers its secret will know.

A fountain stands tall with its crystal clear stream,
It flows with the light from the heart of a dream.
The water, once still, now shimmers in waves,
And transforms to gold for the soul that is brave.

The fruit of this garden is shared without plea,
Each bite a reminder of life’s mystery.
The wine flows as freely as rivers in spring,
And joy fills the air like the song that they sing.

The dust of the stars fills each chalice with light,
And dragons still guard every blossom in sight.
For who would dare pluck from a dragon’s own tree,
When the heart's true desire lies wild and free?

The glow of the sun, through leaves thickly spread,
Turns moments to gems in their soft ruby red.
Each breath in this place is unwritten, unplanned,
And truth flows like rivers that carve out the land.

In this sacred space, you’ll find there are two—
The sun and the moon, bound in celestial hue.
The gods of the morning and night reunite,
To weave us in stories, in threads of pure light.

So come to this garden, where light and dark play,
Where wishes take flight at the close of the day.
Embrace the sun’s warmth, and let shadows be cast,
For here in this haven, forever will last.

An attempted remix of one of my old poems... Thoughts? I think I like my old one better (link to the original for reference):

#Poem #Poetry #Writing #English

I have searched for you in the stillness
of winds that speak without voices,
in the heavy night where shadows weave
a tapestry of forgotten dreams.

Your hands, like rivers carved from light,
slip through my longing, through this fog of distance,
and though I cannot touch you,
I feel the pulse of your absence in my bones.
How quiet the world becomes when your touch is missing,
how the earth stands still, waiting for the sound
of your laughter to return like rain
to the desert.

The stars speak of you in their language of glimmer,
and every leaf, every quiet tremor of the earth
whispers your name as though it were
the only word that existed.

I want to hold you as the moon holds the sea,
as roots grip the soil in their secret embrace,
to taste the silence between your breaths
and let the spaces where you are not
be filled with the aching music of love.

What is this life, if not the endless pursuit
of the tender mystery you carry in your heart?
In the quiet hours when the sky blushes
with the first touch of dawn,
I will wait for you in the hollows of the wind,
in the spaces where only we exist—
silent, eternal, whole.

@freeschool Just to update you the 503 should be fixed now.

Random picture for the purpose of testing the upgrade....

For those curious our migration to a bigger redis just finished, so any momentary sluggishness from that should now also be fixed.

I just realized this also makes QOTO a W3C member since its part of my new company and non-profit...

I wonder if #QOTO is the only fediverse server that is an official member of the W3C, if so that would be cool.

As of today I am officially an Advisory Committee Representative at the W3C. My new company has also joined a member of the W3C, exciting!

Hot take... Bipolar Disorder (as well as its milder cousin Cyclothymia) is just a subtype of ADHD, not its own separate disease. It is essentially where a person with ADHD cycles through ADHD-I (Inattentive subtype) and ADHD-HI (Hyperactive/Impulsive subtype). Essentially the ADHD-I is mistaken for the depressive phase and ADHD-HI is mistaken for the manic phase.

The various evidence supporting this:

* There is medical evidence suggesting a close genetic overlap between the two diseases.
* There is a very strong comorbidity with 20% of people with ADHD also having some form of BD
* The symptoms of each type closely resemble the characteristics of each pole of BD, so they are easily mistaken for eachother.

I was out and about yesterday walking through Philly and open carrying (picture for reference). For the first time i had to walk through about a dozen cops all standing around talking. I figured one of them might say something, but nope, not even a suspicious glare.

When it comes to guns I'm liking Philly and PA more every day since I became a licensed holder.

I havent not fact checked this. Apparently the attached letter was found in some rubble in Rasha and was written by a 10 year old boy who was found dead.

Translation:

“Please don’t cry for me, as it would make me sad. I hope my clothes can go to those in need, and my accessories to Rahaf, Lana, and Batool. The bead boxes should go to Batool. As for my monthly allowance of 50 shekels, I want half to go to Rahaf and the other half to Ahmad. I’d like Batool to have my toys. Lastly, please don’t shout at my brother Ahmad. Please follow these wishes.”
