From my 17yo poet-son - https://www.poetry.com/poet/Dylan+Miller+-+Writer?fbclid=IwY2xjawI6mKBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSMnJ3fJs8kygENPWTcBSVdz45osP3xdAtD3YptwfFlz9klZXis2DTReXQ_aem_ely7BKtMpuqzxPBU5ro8pg - (give him a like or two on his poetry page!):
If you really wish
Not to use "purple",
Do not use
Indigo, it can
Go away!
Off, damned indigo!

#Prompt: #Indigo
Chilly evening breeze
Crickets chirp bye to the sun
An indigo sky
No matter how we got here,
We find our self's in the occupied territories of turtle island. And despite the proclamations of the enlightened empire, we each have a choice to make. Do the work of colonialism, or act like we live here.

John's insane today,
What's he been doing? Licking
Walls, I guess. Oh, John...

#Prompt: #prime
From my 7yo daughter:
Proud
Red
Ink
Mint colour
Amber
Ruby red
Yellow
I'm #planning on #graduating in a year or so, so I'm trying to make more #friends and get more involved in the #community outside of my #school. That way, I won't be #alone after I don't have all my school friends and community around anymore. I don't know where I'll go for a #PhD, but this area is still my #home.
I'm into #gardening, #cooking, #sewing, #painting, #CreativeWriting, #reading, #VideoGames, and #anime. I'm from the #Rochester, #NY area.

IT'S COLD AND DARK OUTSIDE, AND WE GATHER BY THE FIRE... Are you ready to join?
This is Day 0 of #BetterStories, a Mastodon-exclusive crash-course on telling stories.
Do you want to improve your #Storytelling skills? Follow this course and in 1 month you will learn tools to create better stories. You will tell more interesting stories to your kids, your partner, or whoever who wants to listen.
For those planning to apply to our program, a couple of updates:
We are now accepting applications in Slate. This will help us communicate better with applicants than our old system.
Our pre-application packet can now also be submitted in Slate, instead of by email.
Our priority deadline for Summer 2025 or Fall 2025 applications is March 1.
I've started combining my travel illustrations with a bit of creative writing.
-
We hit the streets at rush hour and fought through traffic along narrow roads, against wide busses, and between the press of cars coming across blind intersections.
Everyone in competition for a place in line to get to the places we were all going. Lots of honking. People on foot took their chances.

#Prompt: #Delete
There once was a fan of keep fit,
Who had a good idea so did tweet it.
People started to die,
When they gave it a try,
So they thought that they'd better delete it!

#Prompt: #Mellow
Irish malt whiskey
A mellow and smooth warmness
On a cold evening
When the code unravels. A quote from our Fall issue, from Sam Brown's fiction.

#Prompt: #Path
In a path to Stanley Square,
My son's poems are displayed there.
I'm shouting so loud,
That I am so proud,
So give him a follow please, yeah!
In Sale, the town that I live, there is a walkway to Stanley Square where the shops, bars etc. are. My 16 year old son, Dylan, who is an enthusiastic writer, has just had poems displayed on the walls there.

#Prompt: #Resemble
A commander in chief from NATO,
Who's allergic to people who say "no".
One day he did say,
We'll invade Norway,
And his head started to resemble a potato!

#Prompt: #Barbed
There once was a man from Kintyre,
Who climbed a wall higher and higher.
When he reached the top,
There was a sudden stop,
Because he'd forgotten about the barbed wire!

My main account server has been down for several days.
This is unexpectedly annoying, esp without any way to communicate with server manager or anytihng like that.
If the server goes down, there is no way to recover anything, right?
