Silenced in Plain Sight – The Washington Spectrum: Algorithmic Suppression Ms. AWashington | ARW-RAW

“Silenced in Plain Sight — The Washington Spectrum.”

It comes directly from what I’ve been witnessing here: voices growing, engagement collapsing,communities disappearing from our own feeds.

This paper names the pattern — and the infrastructure behind it.

tonight,
we talked
on the phone

you had so much
joy

on your sweet, little
face

i could not talk
for long

lest i cry
and confuse you -

i kept hearing
them say,

"we aren't sure what
it is yet, but

we found something"

and my mind
just keeps
spiraling

#poem #parenting

You opened a portal to the limelight for you and your friends, but you don't seem to mind the swirl that happens outside of the portal's bubble. A short distance away, it's visible and makes the air sting.
While you celebrate your strange harmony, it cuts my stitches.
#horrorprompt #vss365 #harmony

knives in my flesh
such agony i've never known
don't pull them out

#haikuhorrorprompt #yanked

my best advice
cut the cord
don't look back
keep moving forward
even if it hurts

We were once #lightning
In a bottle—

A #magnanimous spark
Whose chaos knew
Nothing of #harmony

We drank it in
Like lifeblood
Ignoring the aftertaste

No amount of #jewelry
Could keep us #spellbound
To the illusion
Of separation

That's when the concept—
The idea of 'we'
Died

Together we drift
waving pastels in verdance
dreaming in our peace

three-leaved clovers
overlooked because
someone declared four
to be the magic number

triple goddess disagrees
slowly stirring her cauldron
of unborn plant life

waiting to erupt
in verdant abundance
she finds a new
kind of luck

#cassiopeian clovers #poetry

fingers hovering
sending electricity
never touching skin

trembling, holding breath
waiting waiting waiting
begging for contact

sleepy tea, sleepy tea
banish this anxiety
I’m still up at half past 3
writing this bad poetry

#poetry

harmony was the way
they completed each
other's sentences

the way they ordered
dinner for each other
and a waitress smiled

the way they they
still held hands afer
56 yrs., of marriage

the way they honored
their God and taught
their little ones the same

they way they loved.

As a teen
nothing riskier
than concocting
a mixture
from your parents'
liquor cabinet

bottles topped up
with just the right
amount of water
to avert suspicion

those potions
saw us through
some good times

the main
ingredient—
the easy joy
of youth

oh what I'd do
for just a sip
or two.

Archeological digs through my past
Are only good to a point
I shine a light into recesses
Uncover secrets
Gain wisdom
Enough to know
When I’m healing don't tarry too long
Don't pick at scabs
Life is meant to flow, unfurl

#love #sonnet #poem

A Garden Without Mercy Inside me, the vines invade. Barbed tendrils forcing their way through soft tissue, splitting the seams of thought with slow, creeping hunger. They coil around my bones claiming territory, tightening until the marrow feels the ruin of pressure. Every breath is a negotiation with something that refuses to loosen. Weeds erupt in untended hollows, cracking the dry, obedient earth of my mind. Rising fast, feral, unapologetic. Feeding on the detritus of thoughts littering the ground. A choking mass of green drags the light down with it. I feel the roots shifting, rewriting the map of my insides with their ruthless persistence. There is no mercy in this garden, only survival, and the quiet comfort that even in ruined soil something refuses to die.

Thank you, my dudes! 🙏😊🐧🙌✨️

Take some precious time
To heal inside, feel the slide
Of the turning tide.

A change so sudden,
The dogs howled, nobody's scent
Should shift so quickly.
