Scottish selkies shed their sealskins to live among humans. But when they reclaim their hidden skins, they return to the sea, transformed yet whole. Some comebacks are about remembering who you are. #WyrdWednesday 🎨Aimee Easterling

Rumpelstiltskin’s talent wasn’t just spinning straw into gold—it was knowing the value of a name. In fairy tales, craft and cunning often go together. The best makers aren’t just skilled with their hands, but sharp with their minds. #MythologyMonday 🎨Scott Gustafson

#vss365 #prompt My sister, Rita, was gifted a watch. I was disappointed not to receive one. But my dolly Susan was from the #Emporium Arcade. I still have her; she used to say, "Mama." I still have Dad's heavy case; he took it on trains and worked in general goods. That's a start for my memoir.

As parents, we're supposed to remember the first time we did stuff with our kids, but the last time is equally as significant, if not more. This poem is from Whatever You Do, Just Don't (HappenStance Press, 2023), my second full collection...

Some say the Northern Lights are the reflections of shields from ancient battles in the sky. Others whisper that they are the souls of the lost, caught between the stars, dancing until the end of time. #FolkloreThursday 🎨Natali Fedorova

Vivian, Greg’s patronizing fairy, saved him from raccoons, buses, and himself. “Gregory, must I do everything?” she sighed, yanking him from traffic. Then, one day, she wasn’t there—but he survived. A shimmer lingered. “Wait, am I fixed?” Silence. Then, faintly—“Ugh. Don’t make it weird.” #hbp123

When our kids were younger, they watched Jurassic Park with the dog sleeping between them. When the T-rex turned its head and roared, Ernie stood up, leaned forward, and growled back. He weighed 17 lbs. Be an Ernie. Growl back. #Resistance
