Figure out what it’s going to cost, decide if you’re willing to pay the price, and if you are, don’t stop until you get it. Decide what you want and then do whatever it takes to make it a reality. #veteran #WritingCommunity #canadianpolitics #poetrylovers https://t.co/vUJH060uGb

Wow!!!!!!!!!!

I‘ll stop posting timelapses of the aurora from the @Space_Station when I’m tired of looking at them . . . so basically never! Another unforgettable display of this ethereal phenomenon as it danced beneath us last night, this one even more special as it was shared with @astro_anil, as he witnessed it for the first time with such intensity. The red wavelengths (above the green) were particularly bright in this pass.

THE WRITE IDEA: When revising, and rereading again and again—take breaks. Look up from the page now and then. #AmWriting, #Writingtips, #Writers, #WritersBlock, #WritingCommunity, #5amWritersClub (Photo by Sincerely Media on Unsplash)

Celebrity memoirs often feel like victory laps. A Life in Parts isn't one of them. #bookreviews #acting

Lazarus is Dead

Rose ahead
the sun, enough
for the auroral sky
to forward still
her holes
to heaven—

The crack in everything,
remember—
these jars of clay
house everyday
resurrections
until death heals
all wounds.

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. What impressed me most was how effectively it explores identity. If every version of you believes it is the authentic one, what actually makes you you? Memory? Choice? Love? Habit? The novel raises those questions without becoming trapped inside them. It understands that philosophy matters most when it costs someone something.

The violence is not the point so much as the normalization of it: the euphemisms, the systems, the ways people find language to distance themselves from what they are doing. I found that far more disturbing than any individual scene. #booklover #horror

Alabaster thread stitched thrice
A blank leather-bound journal—
An acme, completely unnerving
to cause even
The most resolved man to weep.

Moss is blunt, practical, and occasionally severe in the best way. He makes you confront the fact that truth on screen is not accidental. It comes from preparation, specificity, imagination, and the willingness to stop being precious about yourself.

For actors, The Intent to Live is required reading. For writers, it is a reminder that every scene needs a weapon, a wound, and somebody willing to use both.

clouds form on the horizon
an Armageddon army advances
slow marching consumes the sun
sometimes things are not alright
shadows drifting across the moon
disfigured face becomes glare
a saltwater dead man’s float
submerged ears drowning
sinking into the night floating below

Sara Gran’s Come Closer is one of those rare horror novels that understands possession is most frightening when it arrives quietly. It sounds like your own thoughts.
Absolutely terrifying. #mustread https://t.co/aZXZQEKwkm

We were everything, for a quick minute Then ephemeral as a glimpse, became Ignis fatuus, again for always. I’ve repressed her birthday, her eye colour The length of her hair, what shampoo she used; Middle name, mother’s name, her Ass. degree. Every other distinguishing detail Where now considering what’s left behind Determined never to return—a chill. Run’s my spine: I do not know who she was. Or, how I’d recognize the attributes Ahead, falling for what I assumed Love. #poem #lovebite
