Brilliance bends unnatural Spills upon the actual Eyes find nothing sought Just a ruse of diffuse light Trust the source, more bright In the heart wrought #5amwritersclub #writerslife #poetry #writingcommunity #writesky

Respectable clouds? At this height? Something’s “up” 😅 #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

What’s weird about all the >1000 word pieces on “Whither Bluesky?” is that the state of the world is actually what’s problematic right now. If we fixed that, Bluesky would be better. Foreground the foreground. Also who are you really mad at exactly?

Interestingly, for me, my high school calculus class was predominantly girls, including the valedictorian, salutatorian, and a few other top performers. There was a lot of friendship and camaraderie, friendly competitiveness, and support. Not from the teacher, but from each other.

With my wife being ace and my oldest and me demi, we often lament the obligatory partner as the prize (usually girl). Might be wrong, but seems like mainstream storytelling makes rewards of romance and sex into expectations 🤷‍♀️ #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

I want marginalized kids to fall in love with science, see themselves as scientists, and visualize a better future for themselves and others. 💖✨Also, to normalize love across the spectrum, make it accessible and attainable. #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

Maybe the science fair NASA rep won’t penalize Brilliance Overland for setting her on fire? 🤷‍♀️🔥 #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Ya'll are killing me. As someone who has done movement work for a long time, folks are getting sloppy. 1. Before you get involved, be sure you know what it is and who you are getting involved with, know what it is you can and cannot risk, what it is you are willing to sacrifice.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Brilliance is ethical. Ignore the severed hand in her backpack… #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity
