Writing and making stuff up

@Travistritt I assume this is one of those cancel culture things.

[AllOneWord @AllOneWord5]

@SketchesbyBoze No. If there was time to read all the books, taste all the food, listen to all the music and view all the art I'd be sad at the knowledge that I would run out.

@Wonderful_Ed I'd be unlikely to play anything...

I'd be dead.

@therealSIR3 I'm underestimating, but I really want to be a 🐼

@AnnieChave @robkey612 @NoBallsTCP you ought to get her on the show.

The gradient increased so slowly we didn't notice that we were now on a #steep incline. Where we'd been making good time, it was now a struggle to keep moving and home seemed a long way away. I looked down to see the clouds below us then up to the first sight of the lair.

The #crude painting has pride of place on the fridge. An orange blot in a cloudless sky. A rainbow leaking into the grass. The number 27 bus pulling up at the end of the path and mum waiting to climb onboard.
A view from dad's bedroom: the last thing that made him smile.

With every good deed your soul grew, until its mass was so great that #gravity drew us closer. Once we fell into orbit around you we turned into satellites and formed a planetary system of acolytes. Now we stretch out on your behalf, pulling in more souls to protect you.

I started cycling in to work in 2015. It's just far enough to wake me up before a #shift and clear my head afterwards. When I reach Almost Home Tree I'm relaxed and almost normal again. Without that time I'd bring work home and I wouldn't want a repeat of my first family

@MariaAPerez1 You can't win against a memory

A #mantle of dust had settled on the steps overnight and the fog was holding back morning. We'd got so used to bright, warm skies that we never thought it might #fail. This was our first view of the real world in over twenty years; a reminder of what we'd done.

I always look forward to December, it's the time of year that my career takes off. I only have one serious #rival, but his beard isn't real and he uses far too much padding. If I can just work out how he knows what present each child wants I'll be the only Santa in town.

There used to be a little shop behind Heelas, just next to Gun Street Gallery, selling old GWR signs. The guy opened 4 days a week and spent the other days exploring. Then the #oracle mall opened; bought everyone out and charged rent only the big chains could afford.

@lillib3t It's a big forest

[AllOneWord @AllOneWord5]

The copse was now a forest, but I had my receipt. It was clipped to a photo of a #ribbon tied to a branch midway up the trunk of my tree. The old man checked the map and asked me to follow him down an overgrown path.
I'm losing track, but I think that was nine months ago.

The first time we went to Glastonbury we hitchhiked to #worthy farm. We left Monday morning and got our first lift at the bottom of the road. We met engineers, farmers, salesmen and squaddies on leave. My first book was peopled with these travellers: Kindness of Strangers

It's basic chemistry; if you mix two compounds, you'll get a third compound with features from both. Dad was an athlete and mum was a musician, so it was only #genetic that I'd be a sporty guitarist.
Except I wasn't. I love sport and music, but I have no talent for either

Mum was always of the opinion that past results were a guarantee of future performance. We are here because we've got through every challenge we've had to face. She always said that yesterday's #crisis was today's bump in the road and tomorrow's anecdote.
