As a registered independent, I oppose the confirmation of Senator Markwayne Mullin as DHS secretary. This reflects my personal opinion based on my view of his character.

This was an incredibly difficult blog post for me to make. I'm exposing myself publicly in hopes that other people may relate. In the least, I hope that it sheds some context and provides a level of understanding of what combat veterans go through.

Invisible in Plain Sight

Invisible in Plain Sight by Justin Bailey

love is the key, see? (Choosing Evolution in the Edge of Chaos)

Poetry, prose, and AI art by baccus bee. Diving deep into the beauty of synthography and the written word. Remember: Love is the key. Use it.

In evaluating my presence across socials I felt I may have spread myself thin. My engagement and connections in the #poetrycommunity , #writingcommunity , and #blog #bloggingcommunity are a godsend to me across all the platforms. I've met genuinely great folks running accounts on #Fediverse #Mastodon #xformerlytwitter #mediumwriter #bluesky #substack #HiveBlockchain and #threads

If you and I are connected on one of them, I would love to connect across the others for the sake of keeping our communities strong and setting our verse, writing and other creative works free. I will most assuredly return the follow and engagement. New connections are great too, this isn't about volume, metrics, or following here— it's about community.

What I love about Mastodon is that it's really about meeting in the hashtags here and follow count or lack of is not going to limit reach.

The Arts in all forms are crucial during this time in our shared human history. Art can shine a light, share perspective, and foster increased understanding which is critically needed now.

Since 2009, X has been and is my home base/social home. The poetry and writing community people over there are gold and represent the entire ideological spectrum and yet we harmonize! Everyone gets along because we are focused on the verse.

I'm going to invest more time here as I realize unfortunately all this time I had not explored the full scope of the Fediverse. I'm also going to invest more time in the other platforms engaging my community. What this looks like during the week is an evening or two spent focused on each platform.

Our works may range across spectrums but they all matter and shine a much needed light.

The attached article from my Substack: Terrible Poet Journal speaks more to my thoughts on community.

Thanks for reading, I would love to know your thoughts.

Collective of Poets, Writers & Creatives

(That's why I'm here. ✨)

Terrible Poet Journal
We are a tight night community on X in the writing and poetry community. We are composed of people from all walks, ideologies and special groups in life. When you engage people every day you get to know them and their presence. I would dearly miss them, so for that reason I have no plans to leave X. I have a lot of my work published online, links are readily available on my profile. One can get a good idea of the kind of person I am by reading my work. I reject the notion that I have to walk away from the community members I've engaged and enjoyed the creative process with in order to earn acceptance here or anywhere else online.
Respectfully, one can attempt getting to know someone before applying blanket assumptions to them. I accept everyone at face value and get to know them to the extent virtual communication allows, my only ask is the same in return. I am not phased by comments about people on X being cast in a negative light because I know they do not apply to me personally. My desire to get to know the #poetrycommunity and #writingcommunity on Mastodon is sincere.✨✨✨
