Hello, #WritingCommunity! Do you remember when folks used to post #FridayKiss snippets on the bird app? I'd like to see if we can informally revive that weekly ritual. No prompts; just post a romantic, steamy, or tender moment from your WIP!

Alt text: Pinkish-beige background with a darker pink heart over the top. Cursive writing over the heart reads “Friday Kiss.” Below that, bullet-point text reads: No prompts: choose any “kiss” from your WIP; Open to writers from any genre; Please use alt text for graphics or images; Use the NSFW tag if needed; Post any time on Friday; Use the #FridayKiss hashtag. At the bottom of the graphic, italicized text reads “Not affiliated with the original FridayKiss community.”

Hiding in Hampstead is the lovely Fenton House, a family home full of nooks and crannies, and more than a dozen working antique pianofortes. A talented lady comes and plays on them, so you really feel transported back in time...

Wouldn't this be a lovely place for a writers retreat? On the northern edge of Hampstead Heath (yes, the haven of highwaymen) lies a London jewel - Kenwood House. (+ a lovely outdoor cafe, of course ☕️🍰🫖) #kenwoodhouse #hampsteadheath

The first "international" eye chart. Created c. 1907 by optometrist George Mayerle to serve the population of San Franscisco. It includes Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Hebrew, and Roman characters (for European language speakers) and pictures for speakers of other languages or the illiterate.

Eye chart rendered with characters from five major language groups and pictures for those who are illiterate. Pictures include everyday objects such as a dog, cat, flag, or shoe. The largest picture in the picture column is, appropriately, an eyeball.
