Feel better! 🤧

The existence of human-derived technofossils is a strike against the Silurian Hypothesis, and the 10-year-old in me is not happy about it.

I’m disappointed. 😔 My wife let slip that the #SuperBowl is tomorrow. I prefer to find out the day of or at some point after it’s happened. 🏈 It’s a game of extended ignorance I play every year without knowing I’m playing it until I lose (find out in advance) or win (find out the day of or later).

Yes, they were all amazing. Thank you! ☺️

Beauty, tragedy, and the surrealism of the unthinkable somehow combine in just shy of 100 words. Wow. What a masterfully crafted story, Yara.

It’s prose with the power of poetry. Loyalty to identity and trepidation (not without openness) of the unknown is explored with crafted care. Great job, Muntasir!

The language bubbles, the meaning the bubbles, and as the fire grows brighter, the story gets darker. Love it!

😆 Thanks, Barbara!

Oh, I’m so happy for you! Reach out to a dietitian cause idk about internet stranger advice on something which could impact your transing journey. 🥰

What is “T”? Personally because the mortality rate is why higher for those with low cholesterol, I wouldn’t want to lower it. But if you need it low for something else, that’s understandable.

Always be moving the target further back as your aim gets better!

Two poems in one day. It’s not like my muse to be so generous. #amwriting

Sometimes it’s frustrating having so many damn good writers in my writing critique group. Like what am I supposed to say? 😅 #writers

Thank you so much, Jacqueline! 💚

Such a clever structure in this micro by @authorgreene.bsky.social 🤩 highly commended in @welkinprize.bsky.social.

Do it! I’d love to see what you come up with. 💚

Okay, to take a quote from this one doesn’t do it justice. Read it forwards, backwards, between the lines…there’s so much to find!!

Today’s Welkin Highly Commended! Congratulations, @authorgreene.bsky.social!

Thanks, Jenny! I’m happy to see readers like you plumbing the depths of my story. Cheers! 💚

I always do my first drafts with pen and paper. This doesn’t help the distraction during revision, but it helps where it counts the most.
