Honestly I was trying to think of a situation where "seeking shelter among the stars" would be absolutely something no one else with the prompt would think of. So pentagrams came to mind. From there it was just following the "if this, then what" of it all that got me there. Thanks for the comment!

You guys, my story about a little girl summoning Satan to save her from cannibal hillbillies took 3rd in the Odd Embers Writing Contest! Last week was really cool, y'all! #oddemberswritingcontest #writersofbluesky

Thanks, John Cena. Truly a legend. And that was the last WWE broadcast I will ever watch unless they stop taking blood money from Saudi Arabia.

First time diving into @writingbattle.bsky.social and, while I didn't make it out of the House rounds, I was only 1 win short. Pretty proud of my little nanofiction!

I enjoy finding quiet places to do some writing, like the courtyard garden of a hotel that I'm not staying at.

I've really thought about it but I keep coming back to the same conclusion: #PinkPonyClub is pound-for-pound the best song that has been written in the last decade. Unapologetic, uplifting, and feels like an anthem that is welcoming everyone to be whoever they want to be. It's Hope distilled.

"The point is, there is no feasible excuse for what are, for what we have made of ourselves.

Hey, not sure if you've been doing this, but this is a friendly reminder to call your representatives to demand action against the current administration's quest for authoritarianism. Even if you know they won't listen, become annoying as hell and waste their and their staff's time. Wear'em down.

I love that, out of everyone, Kofi seems to be the one who absolutely locked in on the flexible tone and killed it with his character work. Gravitas and stink cloud combined.

John Cena using 25 years of knowing what fans will do at every given moment in order to make them look dumb and easily manipulated is probably my favorite thing happening in wrestling right now. #TheFansAreTheHeels #wwe #johncena

Sometimes things aren't so bad. Evening walks while listening to podcasts and a stop in a park to read a book are rad. (Yes, I photographed myself looking pensive because I want to remind myself of this on days I forget. 😎)

Those cars were just skipping the cutscene and going straight to the end. Nothing wrong with wanting to get to the action.

In order to fix a glitched quest (Simba's quest that gets you the Dreamlight tree), I had to time travel a week. Now I'm punished until I reach that actual day because the game won't advance until we pass it. Can't harvest herbs, no wood spawns, the day doesn't move on for anyone. Sucks. #dreamlight

Also, I really hope this means we get to hear the heel theme he recorded a few years back before they chickened out on the heel turn.

John Cena just turned heel for his retirement tour! Do we finally get to hear the heel Cena theme track he recorded a few years ago before they backed out on the turn?! #EliminationChamber #wwe
