Sad stories form mountains They jostle and crunch Rip apart the world It needs more than a reprieve There's not enough love To go around these days Desperation trampled by hate and greed There, in abundance Go gentle this night #vss365

Round the merry-go-round goes Trying to decide where the lines Get drawn Nature oft needs nurture To add a certain flavour Some sure, some flex and circle Start over To nurture inclines to bend Encompass the other's importance Thus here and there I'll share a toast Tho inclined to be sober #vss365

It didn’t take much for Rory to #reckon the inherent value of betraying someone to death for the sake of a few skill points, and taking the practically worthless item offered in their stead. Morally, he couldn’t do it. Yes, it was just a game, but he just couldn’t. He took the item instead. #vss365

Ilyna didn’t need to wait and #reckon the distance between the rooftops, she’d already cased both houses days before, watching the movements of the people within, noting the weaknesses, the less obvious entrypoints. She was a small woman, able to slither through practically any hole or gap. #vss365

“Draconic Sorceress” The September #SciFanSat cover art I made for the new issue coming out this Saturday wasn’t designed with that role in mind. She started as a fantasy portrait crafted for fun, but then I took a shine to her punk-rebel vibe. #SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy

A fantasy illustration of a draconic sorceress. She has human and dragon ancestry, with scales on her neck and left shoulder/arm. Her features are largely human elsewhere, except for yellow draconic eyes and the red scales around them that match her hair, then dissipate into freckle-like markings on her face. She smiles wearing a dragon-themed headpiece and revealing top.

Rory had #passion. He loved the game, for instance, and … Katie! He had passion for Katie! And in no way, no way whatsoever, did Katie come second to the game. And Rory wasn’t currently looking around to see if Katie could read his mind and most likely be planning some horrible revenge. #vss365

When ocean temperatures drop too quickly,sea turtles become cold-stunned.Their bodies slow down, their strength fades, and many don't survive.As warming oceans push sea turtles farther north,more turtles are becoming stranded in dangerously cold waters,unable to return to warmer seas on their own.

Nobody will remember: -Your job -How busy you were -How many hours you worked. People will remember: -Fun shark facts you taught them. Here’s my favorite: Greenland sharks, which can live to be over 400 years old, eat (probably scavenging) polar bears and reindeer.

Rory could, if he wished, head out elsewhere in the game world, have numerous adventures, kill a bunch of god-tier monsters and the ship would still wait for him to #embark and head out to finish this quest. Time, in the game, wasn't so much fluid as designedly stagnant and sedentary. #vss365

The white tiger is a breathtaking reminder of nature’s power and fragility. Its striking coat makes it unforgettable, but behind those icy-blue eyes is a wild predator shaped by evolution, instinct, and survival. 🐅❄️ Its beauty feels almost otherworldly, yet it belongs to the wild world we must save.
