Legitimately there are people on TikTok advising that believers should stand outside today so they don't get trapped against their ceilings when they start to rise up, which, frankly, if your divine master of all creation is flummoxed by the concept of a roof, I think that's the bigger problem.

Took a couple Tylenol this morning. Just enough for a day's worth of autism because it's trivia night night at the bar and I wanted an edge.

Hey #writingcommunity if you’re a fan of X-men, True Blood, Lovecraft Country, Charmed, Buffy, Blade..I’m writing a ton of stuff in black sci-fi/ witchy southern gothic style worlds.

For #BirdOfTheDay @alan678.bsky.social has the theme of a bird on a branch.

In my latest story, I make the moderate case against such bans.

A tiny bird perched on a thin branch, displaying spectacular iridescent magenta-purple plumage that shimmers with hints of blue and copper when caught in the light. Its most distinctive features include a striking white patch atop its head and a long, slender black bill. The bird's compact size and jewel-like appearance are emphasized against the soft green background, capturing this miniature aerial gem in perfect detail.
