Oh and before I forget,

@451degrees.bsky.social is one of the hosts too! ✨

Okay, signing off for real this time.

@phylogeneticsteve.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 9:14 AM

Hello #7SyllableSquad!

Thank you for the well wishes, I will be logging off shortly but before I do, we have the following people who will host in my stead. πŸ’œ

Thank you for this, I wish I didn't have to do this but I need to take care of myself first.

Love you all, see you in November ✨

@phylogeneticsteve.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 6:21 PM

Yes, sure, that works!

And I believe @deemclachlan.bsky.social is also interested. ✨

@phylogeneticsteve.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 7:37 AM

Hi all,

I feel like I need a bit of a break from being online for a few weeks for my own mental health, so I would like to announce that I want a couple of people who are willing to host #7SyllableSquad temporarily until I recover.

If you're interested, I'm looking for three potential hosts

The way I gasped when I read this while remembering the news of what my brother did behind my dad's back.... Jesus Christ on a silver platter! πŸ«‚

For anyone who learned that love can be used to justify almost anything.

I'm sorry, but it I see a prospective employee act human and use things that humans need, then I won't hire them. That's why I'm an AI bro! /s

Shiny iPad and merch

@phylogeneticsteve.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 10:50 PM

Me? A video game character? Am I real? (existential crisis starts)

I'm a little out of practice...

The usual guff about life after death - I reckon that I must have enough for a small pamphlet by now.

#PoemsAbout #DeadLetters @thebrokenspine.co.uk
It helps to know Bu Shi is a muse/alter ego I created in the early 2010s to post haiku/senryu, it also helps to know they don’t use the lettters L and T, but the poem uses all of the other letters. Our pseudo relationship is sometimes contentious.

DUBIOUS BU

bu emerges from a crack underground
open hand punch
hammering an arc of misshapen force

nor misspoken nor misheard

was a bad poem worsened
by jagged end rhymes
before even being conceived

weaned on my screams and misgivings

bad karma broken casino spinner
dopamine miser sucking my money sac
receiving receiving receiving never giving back

aces queens and princes join voracious jokers

oversized zippers sever
spewing sacred sera in free mason jars
examined by hydrographic surveyors

bu says form precedes usage

do you agree

This is heartbreaking πŸ₯²πŸ‘

Happy #PoemsAbout folks, here's my quick contribution to #DeadLetters - will check back later to read others! Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry #poetrycommunity

Correspondence

every day of summer
I wrote you a letter
heartbeats
hand shaking
ink staining my fingers

I still have them
at the bottom
of a box
at the back
of the attic

I look out
over the sea
and wonder 
how this day would feel
if I had posted them

For #PoemsAbout #DeadLetters, here's a slightly crazed point of view: The Dead Letter. (*waves* to @alanparrywriter.co.uk 😁 )

The Dead Letter
We keep his secret, we remaining in the alphabet. He just got weary 
of holding up that space between K and L. He always felt misplaced, 
he cried to himself in the night. His shape became…
unrecognizable and after a while no one knew his name. 
He slipped off the page. We do not forget.

#DeadLetters

In his anger, he whispers
that living with her is like inhabiting
one of her terminally unfinished epistolary novels.

He'd love her to end it.
