At this point we don't even know what we are anymore. I'd like to think we broadcast stuff from other worlds, but idk though. Just don't quote me on that, ok?

if only there was a work of fiction, maybe a short story, about the dangers of throwing a party during a pandemic

Plans to build a Dog Hall of Fame and Museum were scrapped today after preliminary estimates found that the facility would need twice as much square footage as the planet currently contains. It seems the architects forgot to take into account that they're all Very Good Dogs.

why are so many boys looking for a wife who is Quiet and Sweet and demure when they could have a wife who was raised by wolves and knows how to wield a sword and has magic thrumming from her fingertips.

My diplomatic assignment to the desert kingdom was given as a punishment. The queen of the desert kingdom is feared for her pyrokinesis and her vicious temper, but when I first saw her she was blowing sand into glass sculptures for some local kids, with a big smile on her face.

“Art and literature are distractions from What Really Matters—” look buddy, if the arts are so frivolous why do fascist governments shut down the theatres, libraries and museums the second they consolidate power?

There's a pool of sludge in a corner of the cargo bay. I ready my mop, and the pool flinches.
"What the-"
A face forms on its surface. "Please don't report me," the shifter says.
"Oh! Don't worry," I say, opening a panel on my arm to reveal my circuits. "We're all outcasts here."

If you’ve suffered abuse at the hands of family or partners, know this: the way you were treated reflects more badly on them than it does on you. Don’t allow them to frame how you view yourself. You are not worthless. You are not broken. You are stronger than you know.

My father cared for a wild bird.
When he died, it stared at him for hours with eyes like dark stars. Then it #plucked its own tailfeather and placed it in my father's mouth.

The next morning, he was alive.

The bird lay, withered and lifeless, against his cheek.

The demon drew power from its rival. The mightier your weapon was, the stronger it grew.
A warrior came unarmed; the demon crumbled.
The people made the warrior their king, praising his wisdom.

"Grandpa, how did you know to leave your sword at home?"

Her horns are so short she can pass for human. She’s particularly grateful on dates. No one would ever talk to her if they knew.

They kiss in the park. She starts to run her hands through his hair. He flinches, makes an excuse, and hurries away. But she knows what she felt.

The pirate ship was becalmed and out of supplies. Men starved, the bodies dumped in the sea. They drifted by a desert island. The captain took his daughter ashore, though she was too weak to walk. ”What’s the hole for?” Treasure asked. Her father said nothing, weeping as he dug.

The gloaming sky smolders over the treeline. With the sun gone, the night sky slowly crystallizes, only to melt again during daybreak. Then we are free to chase the horizon, its mystery leading us on, like a lover who was never ours. #vss365

"You're not supposed to be here yet," Death said, a look of surprise on her face.
"I'm not?" the woman said.
"No, my sweet. You still have a path ahead of you."
"I couldn't see it."
"Nevertheless, it is there."

She woke up with fading memories of a soft voice and kind eyes.

[Station 25079 @S25079]

Hello there, big guy!
You are awf'ly fluffly,
Your once golden muzzle bears the markings of age,
And your joints are quite rusty.
You're a good boy
Others fail to compare.
In fact, you're the best boy,
The best boy, I swear.
Goodbye, my sweet boy.
I love you.

Ma used to threaten to give me to the Mole People.
“Ya don’t shaddap I’ll leave you in their #tunnel.”

Thanks to her I knew where to go when she injected the last of our home into her veins.

I have a family for the first time in my life. In their dark I’ve found light.

It's an awful, stinging, trick my mind plays on me. Every project unfurls and lands in purgatory, just beneath my reach. Furious with myself over losing this one, I stretch and make contact, braiding a story about equanimity, fortune, and liberty. #vss365

@LOSTRAD1O You don't have to go on a whole hero's journey to save the world, the little steps can help a ton! If everyone did small steps to help the world, we could fix this planet. The trouble is getting others to do the small steps too! 2/2

[Station 25079 @S25079]

@LOSTRAD1O Hey, it's ok. Even the most privileged person in the world can do something, it's just a matter of whether or not they'll do it. For example, if you have a job and can afford to, donate to a reliable charity. If you don't have a job but have the time, volunteer! 1/2

The dragon looks at his daughter, the only dragonet left alive from his mate's first clutch. She's leaving tomorrow. His psyche tells him to keep her a little longer, but he knows this must happen. Still, he envelopes her with one wing, protecting her one last time. #vss365

Each ship that traveled without the use of cryo-pods developed it's own mythos. When they reached the planet, most regimes that formed inflight were incompatible with society. When the last one landed, all sapient beings had to be killed, and the epoch of wanderers ended. #vss365
