Everybody wants to catch #lightning in a bottle. Why? What are you gonna do with it? What's it good for? Nah, what you want is to catch thunder in a thermos. That's the good stuff. Ain’t nothing like the crack of doom to add a little spice to your homemade Taster's Choice. #vss365 #microfiction

With the lightning strike of realisation, I see how the veil is dropped from the world and bit by dreadful bit, the truth is unearthed. #vss365 #lightning #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems

I have just seen a Youtube about the etymology of the word 'stock'. And I have come to a conclusion. The only way to teach history to people nowadays is to reframe every fact as part of a conspiracy theory. 'For 726, years, this stick ruled the world! Then THEY made you forget!' I love it.

Willem van der Merwe is a wildlife artist. He lets us show his paintings in the h2g2 Post. He also invents fantasy creatures. So I had to look this one up. Would you believe the Long-Wattled Umbrellabird is real? I love the biosphere. Look at it! h2g2.com/entry/A88083...

As I watch footage of explosions in Beirut and dust clouds towering above apartment blocks in Tehran, I keep coming back to something that I witnessed back in the summer of '04, during my first tour in Iraq. But first, let's start with a question: Have you ever heard someone wail? 1/

Excitement. Adventure. Really wild things. The Long-Wattled Umbrellabird turns out NOT to be science fiction. Bluebottle's theatre evening IS science fiction. And FWR rewrites Law and Order as science fiction. All this and more. h2g2.com/entry/A88081...

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

I don’t wear a suit, Though I see the appeal, But I dress how I like, It shows how I feel, I’m mismatched at times, Or green like a tree, If I stood in a forest, You wouldn’t see me, I’m not fancy or posh, I don’t have much moneys, No Prada for me, My slippers are bunnies. #thingstowriteabout suit

Under the Third Reich, interpreting Hitler’s words and taking initiative to implement his remarks was called “working toward the Führer.”

He was #obsessed with his looks and couldn't walk past a mirror without winking at himself. As he aged, his looks started fading. He couldn't handle seeing himself in the mirrors anymore so he covered them. His reflection was annoyed and turned him into a frog. #vss365 #writing #stories

Read this issue to find out why our travelogues are funnier than our humour features. Also: how scary is Moloch horridus? Why do wild turkeys block roads? And what's happening in Chapter 6 of all those post-apocalyptic novels? Seriously, folks - this issue is EPIC. h2g2.com/entry/A88081...

I was reading an article about the cancellation of food aid to Minnesota, and it reminded me of a story about my dad. He was a vet, an organizer and very deeply involved in his church. And one day he stood up and asked a question: “what the f*ck’s the point of having a church?”

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

It was as silly sounding as it was serious, the #bouncey theory, a competing idea to the big bang, in which the universe contracted and expanded across infinite time. To humans, it made little difference, but to Prof. Hardwil, it only meant he might get to see his Susie again. #vss365 #flashfiction

This life is mountainous and exhausting. Lawless in parts with edges that are too sharp. But I’ve heard there are places where songs are still sung. Where there is room to grow into your thoughts. Where even the snow is so soft you can forget about the cold. #vssdaily lawless #vss365 mountainous
