"I hear there's a #novel attraction at the amusement park." "Really? They have books there now??" "Umm... No." "Oh... I'm neither attracted nor amused then. A library is a way better place to spend my day." #vss365

"You... You #fiend!" "Don't you think that's a little harsh? All I said was I personally don't believe in feeding stray cats." "... You are a monster." #vss365

"Didn't you just get married last week?? How are you already a widow?!" "Someone misunderstood me when I asked them for a wedding gift. They thought in Swedish, and did not pick the better meaning." #vss365

"You've seemed rather #distant lately." "What did you expect? We're exactly halfway across the world from each other now. Did you think you moving there would draw us closer?" "No. I just didn't think that I would care." "Oh. Lovely. Thanks a lot." "Wait!" #vss365

"His #quietus was unexpected." "How did he leave?" "Through a fifth floor window." "Of his own accord?" "Defenestrated." "Well...Not the worst possible exit there is." "No...Could've been way worse." "Grateful for small mercies & all that." "Yeah. So how's your husband?" "As dead as yours." #vss365

"Let's eat." "Let's not." "What's eating you? You haven't even wanted to go shopping in days! What are you in love or something?" "I just don't want to spend every day mindlessly #consuming this or that. Is it too much to ask that life has meaning?" "Yes. It is. Now eat! And watch a movie." #vss365

What matters most is clean air, pure water, and fertile soil. We need the trees, the bees, and the seas. Raise ecoconsciousness Promote environmentalism Embrace biodiversity We must become relentless stewards of our miraculous planet. Nothing else is more important.

"Around 5 AM it suddenly dawned on me: that quy the other day was flirting with me!" "Yeah, duh. That was obvious to us all." "Why didn't you tell me?! I'd've totally flirted back!" "...We thought you WERE flirting with him. Weren't you??" "I thought we were both just being friendly." #vss365 #dawn

"The way the dimensions #shift how're we to #measure anything?!" "You have to anchor yourselves into a singular reality long enough to use the tape measure & write things down before moving on to measuring the next one." "And how do we do that??!" "I dunno. Not my job. Not my problem." #2WordPrompt

"He was already dead before he fell in the #deadfall." "How'd he die?" "He drowned. He inhaled water in the river after falling down a waterfall and drowned while stumbling towards the deadfall where he was found." "A funny way to die in the fall with temperatures too low for a swim." "Yep." #vss365

" #Mother." "Yes, dear?" "Don't you yes, dear me now. You know what my tone of voice meant." "You want me to stop what I'm doing & behave like a respectable widow yada yada boring A F person. Too bad. I am having way too much fun scandalizing absolutely everyone in this staid community." #vss365

"There's a great movie opens at the cinema today. We should go." "Is it actually great, or is it one of your #horror flicks?" "Rude. I'll have you know you married a well respected director." "Respected in your genre, perhaps. When will you direct something deep?" "When you're buried." #vss365

"I thought they said she was #stable." "She was. But as soon as she regained consciousness she tore off all tubes & monitors & what have yous & went right back to the #party. On a horse. It's a miracle she held on as long as she did. Fell off tryin to make the horse dance on a table." #2WordPrompt

You #cradle me in your arms now the way I wish you had when I was living. Mom? If you had done this then, would I still have died the way I did? #vss365

This isn’t a debate between “development”& “conservation.” It’s a war between short-term greed and long-term survival. Our forests aren’t luxury green spaces,they are life-support systems. Destroy them,& we destroy the air we breathe,the water we drink,& the climate

"I will love you #evermore." "Okay. Great. You do that. You love me all you want. Or don't. I really do not care. Either way I'll not forgive you for what you've done." "But you're my wife!" "Nope. I'm done. Nevermore." #vss365

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami devastated communities where coastal mangrove forests had been removed. In contrast, islands still covered were well protected. Wild, natural ecosystems are not a luxury. They are the very bedrock of a habitable planet. share.google/5oQXv9s3WwLI...

I am falling for you To save your life I would Fall to my death a Thousand times over Had I more lives to give Alas This my only fall Will have to do #vss365

I was standing on the edge of a cliff under a starlight that sunsets an eternal twilight, waiting for you to stand beside me, not thinking about #falling down, not trying to take me away, not worrying about past or future, but sharing this awesome beauty of being alive with me #vss365 #bionicanadian

"You gambled your way to our #victory." "It was not a gamble." "Oh?" "I knew he would lose." "You had loaded dice?" "He had loaded dice. I still have his son." #vss365

easy to love all the birds that are singing as I do not understand what they say

"It's #midnight. Why are you up?" "I needed to check something." "What?" "If you were still alive." "Ah... Sorry to disappoint." "It's all right... When it's time to go, it's time to go. I understand you couldn't change that." "Perhaps you will catch whoever did this." "It wasn't natural?" #vss365

Happy Pride Month Everyone! queer, straight, whatever, Happy Pride!

"The #probable outcome of this #movement gaining popularity is social unrest." "Excellent!" "I beg your pardon. Did you not hear me? I said social unrest." "Just what we need! A perfect excuse to move all my funds abroad." "YOUR funds, Your Majesty?" "Potayto, potaato. Perfect." #2WordPrompt

"I had this #primitive urge to beat the crap out of him." "And did you?" "No. I reigned it in, & behaved like civilized person." "Meaning?" "Instead of beating him up, I found a way to delete all his work files & all his games, & all his social media accounts too." "Well done." #vss365

"I was telling people you have this #wondrous capacity for considering everyone's needs." "Yep. Everyone's but my own." "Sorry, did you say something?" "Only that my own needs get neglected. By everyone." "I still didn't hear you, but anyways, let's go get coffee." "I spoke loud & clear." #vss365

The #remnant of the rift was small. Easy to avoid thus no longer a danger to most ships. Yet ours was about to go in. Whether this was a good idea or the worst mistake of my life, only time would tell. No knowing what we'd be when we'd come out. If we survived at all. #vss365

#BirdWhisperer Vermillion Flycatcher

"The #gravity of this occasion demands that we keep our faces solemn." "The hilarity of the situation makes us grin from ear to ear no matter how serious our bosses wish we were." "Think about the salary you will lose if you smile." "Ah. Now you mention it, the situation is dire indeed." #vss365

"That's the #signal. Let's move in." "Are you sure that's the signal? I mean... It could be just an owl." "Yes, I'm sure. There's no owls in this area." "Then what's that in that tree over there?" "... An owl." "So..." "I..." [Who] [Who] "Now that was definitely an owl." #vss365

"Crepes?" "Pancakes." "With cream?" "Maple syrup." "We are worlds apart..." "I don't see a #crevasse between us. Just slightly different preferences." "Slightly???" #vss365

"In your #judgement, which of these is the superior beverage?" "Drunkards are all dullards. All alcohol ought to be banned!" "Ignore him. He's had too much wine." #vss365

#vss365 #immerse Time changes when you're drowning Once you go underwater In a river Or in your head Time dilates, constricts and changes The past, the future And the godawful now Rather Sitting on the riverbank A calming detachment The water ruffling Like the pages of a book Tempt toes to immerse

"We #immerse ourselves in the experience of omnipotence only to find ourselves bored with it. Then we limit ourselves to a tiny, little existence again, forgetting all about who & what we actually are." "Speak for yourself. If I got to be omnipotent, I'd have the time of my life!" "Rright." #vss365

"I like to keep my men tethered to the ground, on a very short leash." "I prefer to keep mine chained to a wall." "Interesting... Unlike the two of you, I find that free range humans taste the best." "Free range?" Scoff. "Such newfangled farming fads never last long." #vss365 #tether

"You know the way a lover's touch will #linger on your skin long after they have left?" "No. I do not." "I had a feeling you would say that. ...It's probably best if we end it here & do not meet again." "But why???" "No reason. No reason at all. I'm just irrational like that. Goodbye." #vss365

"Stop piling food on me!" "I will not." "I completely understand you viewing me chatting up your girlfriend as a #betrayal of our friendship, but I swear didn't know she was your girlfriend!" "No matter. You betray me, you get to be a serving tray. Now... It's time to let the rats in." #vss365

"What is the meaning of this?!" "Whatever do you mean?" "You..! Why did you do it?!" "Why did I do what?" "You know full well!!" "If it is your #intent to imply that I've been... less than helpful, do save your breath. I know." "Know what?" "You sabotaged my team & deserved the payback." #vss365

"Could you kindly come remove your #feral daughter from our yard?" "Oh is that where she went? Again? She must really like the place." "We really like it too & would love to be able to bbq this evening without being bitten by your child." #vss365

"Woah. You're #luminous!" "I know." "But... Why are U luminous??" "I dunno. I've just always glowed in the dark ever since I was born." "Glow-in-the-dark baby..." "Yeah, yeah. We doing this or not?" "I don't know. Breaking & entering wearing black you're supposed to blend in the shadows." #vss365

"Aren't you a barrel of laughs today." "I just learned I'm #barren & you expect me to joke about it?" "It's not like you ever wanted to have kids." "Not wanting them & not being able to have them is two different things." "Same result. Think of the money you save on contraception." #vss365

"My darling...I was wrong. I beg for your #forgiveness. Please overlook my folly." "No." "Too cruel! You know my heart has only ever belonged to you!" "Yet you did not hesitate to abandon it when you heard my father was poor. I take you've now learned who my grandfather is?" "You wound me!" #vss365

"Pure gold." "What is?" "Pete's joke." "I disagree." "What would you call it then?" "More akin to horse manure than #unalloyed precious metal." #vss365

"Ask your suitors. Surely someone among them must be willing to drive us. I refuse to take the #diligence." "If you paid attention, Mama, you would aready know that all my 'suitors', as you call them, disappeared the instant Papa's financial situation was revealed." "Fools." "For sure." #vss365

I cannot conceal myself in shadow I am too much there already I cannot drown out my noise with sound waves I am too loud I cannot board a ship and sail away since I'll be there with me I even recognise my face on certain strangers that I see though I try I can never hide from me. #mpprompt
