Welcome to my Time Capsule project, where I save and reshare old pieces of writing, art and other creations. The purpose behind this project is so that created pieces donβt live and die by the algorithm, without forcing creators to be on the hamster wheel of creation. Want to join?

If I earn 25 cents (a quarter) ((of a dollar)) per poem,
and I want to earn $2000 to cover rent,I would need to write 8000 poems a month
to find a roof over my head.That is, if it remains that
when I wrote more than one poem a day
that everyone continues to read at the same rate.Why does it cost $2000 to have a simple roof over your head,
you ask?You ask,
I ask,or simply,
I cry.
#WritingPrompt: do you constantly worry about placing a roof over your head or is this just a Me, Millennial kinda thing
Hi, Iβm Lucy Dan θε°ε§ (she/her/ε₯Ή) and more of a laid back piece, may not even classify as a poem, but a snapshot of whatβs going on in my head. First of all, big fat fuck you to the politician in power who removed rent control in my city; those of you who have stuck around know I donβt ever swear, and that holds weight. Second of all, if I wrote 8000 poems, would you read them? Would you love them? Would they still be loved equally, or will the love be divided?
hop down the rabbit hole?
