🚨 Super Unpopular Opinion 🚨 Ngl, at this stage if Mourinho is considered... I'll take him. He can turn around this entire season and win both the league and CL. #LFC

I love that new logo? App Cover? Of BlueSky. So lovely 😍😍😍

Just reading the #XFilesLive feed had me tear up 🥹 and all of it in a good way. Missed watching Mulder & Scully on my screen. Best 7 seasons, I've ever watched in my life!! 🤩🤩 Ngl, but the other seasons just didn't click for me. #nostalgia

Write. Create. Be inspired. The #2WordPrompt for 24-JAN-26 is: Parent & Term #Prompt

I went to the shopping mall a few days ago, and this is what I caught on my phone. Not sure what was written there, I think good luck sign/phrase signalling the coming Chinese New Year. But the Lion dance was amazing as, always.

HELP REQUEST: Would anyone who speaks Spanish and English be up for sense-checking some subtitles on a short film (<15 minutes) please? I have no budget, I'm afraid - it's a short LGBTQ+ film in English, and it's been accepted into a festival in Spain.

Reading the LFC transfer news today (or lack of), and it appears as if the club are happy to write this season off, which is happening too often lately. Very frustrating as a fan to try and stay interested when the club are clearly happy to throw a whole season away. #LFC

Friday's the #WriteWord. With thanks to all the beta readers in my past. You know who you are!

#vss365 Words... Clumping together as poetry Seeped through my skin #Searing between my veins Burning its ownership deep inside my heart...

Today's shortlisted story is "Things My Brother Explains With Absolute Authority" by J.M.C. Kane. Such a deep and philosophical piece. www.mattkendrick.co.uk/welkin-stori...

A frenemy is a conflicted person. Their admiration tasked to double duty; both lead to erasure. Containment is neutrality, you, a threat to self-worth. It means they can never be happy for you, having peeked inside, seers of a fear which will daily #sear the heart, and must hold you apart. #vss365

I'm thrilled to announce that an excerpt from The Pearl Farmers, my debut novel, has won Best Adult Fiction in the 2025 San Francisco Writers Conference Writing Contest! More details here: www.sfwriters.org/contests-and...

If you see this, post a superhero.

The #WriteWord today is all about #publishing. The "Big Five,” as they are collectively known in the biz, control roughly 80% of that market and account for approximately 90% of the titles on bestseller lists.

Delighted to receive my contributor copy of Bacopa Literary Review 2025 featuring the winners & contributors selected from their 2025 contest window. Lovely to see my poem 'Luminaries' in print alongside accomplished international works. Huge thanks to the editors & congratulations to all 🩵

#vss365 She gained attention from the crowd like a #heartfelt gratitude. Genuine. Heartfelt. Emotional... "Who is she?" A man in the crowd murmured, mesmerised. "All I know is... she is here to lead us all." The old soldier whispered reverently.

Francis H Powell @Dreamheadz #vss365 #prompt for 9 January, 2026, is #delivery "A library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas, a place where history comes to life." — Norman Cousins. "Cooking out and hanging out aren't really my things. I prefer delivery and solitude." — J.M. Darhower.

Each layer of you exposed Is a #delivery straight From the heavens one by one For my eyes and fingertips only A gift a first prize From a destiny willing To set my present and future Beaming with prisms of beauty From each layer of you exposed #vss365

You lived life Of solitude And rarely Had a beef Your time Devoid of challenge Was seldom Marred by grief Until the night Your door’s #adorned By a black rose Wreath ‘Morrow Sees your eulogy Its prose Will lack sharp teeth All becuz You lived life safe Eyes cast down At your feet #vss365

The old swordswoman blocks the bridge. Her opponent readies his blade. “I’d best you even in your prime.” “No doubt.” “I’ll kill you.” “For my king, I’d gladly trade my life to give you a mortal wound. Can you best that?” He pauses. “Will you do the same for the usurper you serve?” #vss #sff

Sometimes Life is a melody Simple Easy to hum With barely a thought Other times Life is a #symphony Multiple components Coming together More complicated But blending As a whole Both are beautiful If we take the time To listen #vss365

#vss365 Promises made out of love Rose... Like a faint melody Soon blossoming their lives into a grand #symphony Blissful symmetry Of you and I Into us...

#TimePlaceMoment #vss365 Rain began like forgiveness tapping the earth’s shoulder. #Spooked sparrows vanished into green shadows. The world smelled of rebirth, and it occurred to me that it was time for me to let go and move on.

please don't ever let me go hold me close envelop me in all of you as we listen to the lullaby of rain once latent amid clouds now a pummeling symphony on the windowpane & with the apricot aurora adorning grey skies we'd awake to a bright tempo of tenderness dancing in our eyes #vss365 #symphony
