#ProjectPositivity Day 22 🧵1/3: Turning off all the alarms on my phone before sinking into bed, because there was absolutely nothing I had to wake up at a particular time for this Saturday morning. So awesome. But I was woken up at ~7am ... #GoodThings #CreamsicleCat #BskyCats #Caturday

Hey, what's up with books having sprayed edges these days? LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY! I was there! Thread: 1/13

A sulfurous #fart stench filled the air. Guests winced, scowled, gave each other accusing looks, or backed away in search of less perfumed air--only to fail. Annoyance turned to confusion. Turned to actual fear when they discovered the windows refused to open. #vss365 (fart) #MicroFiction

#ProjectPositivity Day 22 I started learning a new thing! I made a quick Canva graphic! Loads of authors and publishers use this to create graphics for their social media, so it's good to have this ability. There are tutorials I can do to boost my skilz, too. #WritersLife #GoodThings #AmWriting

#ProjectPositivity Day 21 Not the joy bubble or wonderpause I usually look for, but I was DEFINITELY grateful for our gentle and easygoing fluffy cat. How many fully clawed cats can you pick up, set in a half-full bathtub, and wash without losing significant amounts of blood? #GoodThings #KawaiiCat

"You're boring!" he said #petulantly. "Your screams? Boring. Blood? Boring. These knives? Boring!" He flung them away. "Needles?" He contemplated them for a moment and my blood chilled. "Boring!" They fell to the floor in a silver rain. "Hunt?" I rasped. "What was that?" #vss365 (petulant)

The horses ran free, and so did she. Fearless, free and unbridled, she ran barefoot between their pounding hooves. The stampede churned up dust through the center of town. Shutters slammed to keep the air clear. She breathed easily, wild and not quite human. #vss365 (unbridled) #MicroFiction

If you want to counter this, go and read @older.bsky.social ‘s Infomocracy series. Actually just go and do that anyway, it’s terrific. How she pulls off a rip roaring space-ninja-pirate story where the conflict is over infrastructure and forms of democracy is beyond me but I am so grateful she did

The #reservoir, which had been dry the night before when he went to do the night-watering of his fields, was full to the brim. He gaped. Hadn't seen that much water since he bought the place, decades ago. Hadn't rained, river hadn't risen... Where'd it come from? #vss365 (reservoir) #MicroFiction

🧪 Scientists contribute to Wikipedia to enhance public knowledge, ensure accuracy, and bridge knowledge gaps. Their expertise helps shape reliable, accessible information, despite challenges of bias, time, & controversy. Given Elon’s interest in going after it, it might be time for more support.

Kindness is punk. Trans rights are human rights. There is no Planet B. Smash the patriarchy. Black Lives Matter. Fix your heart or die. Healthcare, food&housing are human rights. Fuck the fascists. I will not comply. Tax billionaires out of existence. AI is made of crimes. Tech is not the answer.

"In the higher magic families, my dear, one has to be very careful about #bloodlines. Magical tendencies and talents are genetic, after all, and so are blood pacts. Your mother, my daughter, unfortunately, was not a very careful woman." "So I'm...?" "An unknown quantity." #vss365 #fantasy

writing tip for the non outliners re handling plot complexity: forget about figuring out what you're going to do, just find out why it needs to be done, then wing it towards that goal, you'll find it a lot more useful than forcing yourself to write to an outline and hating your whole process for it

The #complex was fairly safe, with tall walls that had broken glass on top, guard dogs that loved belly rubs and hated men with guns, a safe internal water supply (that was what had brought down Jericho Alpha), and a good body language reader to spot internal threats. #vss365 (complex) #AmWriting

We have to do this differently this time around, and one of the ways I hope that we do that is by collectively understanding that people can care about two things at once (or even, gasp, MORE than two things) especially while people are out there banning books: TALK ABOUT BOOKS!

Once upon some time ago, I picked up a #crossstitch kit for my mother-in-law. Unfortunately, she passed before I could finish it. It sat in a box until this month, when I decided to finish it and add my own little snark - you've been through hell and come out singing. We can get through this!

The #chasing around the entryway was coming along. The hammered-in pattern glittered like dragon scales. She didn't mind the strange looks she got for hauling archaic hammers through a space station, not when she could see the final bejeweled arch as clear as anything in her mind's eye. #vss365

The path to #liberation was smooth and sharp as a knife, and everyone knew it. Surviving it and building a way to hold everything together afterward was not clear, or simple, or even findable at all. Such was living under the tyranny of an evil wizard flying 10,000 miles over the ground. #vss365
