Yesterday, I ordered an art photo of a woman's tattoos, a glass paint palette, and this vintage bowler hat, being shipped from France.
So is that level 16 or 17 of lockdown? Or have I veered off onto some side quest?
I was thrilled my story, "Eulogy for Fa, the Dreamer," won 3rd place! Read it today @FracturedLit

Please don't send us AI-generated stories. This age of taking credit for something you didn't do is such a pain. We will now have Zoom calls with all writers we consider accepting. And we will delay payment to avoid paying bad actors. This bullshit.

Because you’ve all been such lovely people today, I’ll leave you tonight with a bonus photo I took some time ago. The moon over Kew Bridge and The Thames in Chiswick, London. The whole photo is absolutely real, with that gorgeous golden light. The moon may (was) added later. What I’ve learned on here though, is that although many of you will read what I’ve written to accompany my photos, many won’t and will think this photo was exactly as shown here and will even comment on it. So anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Have a lovely sleep and remember, don’t have nightmares. Nighty night.

In #95 we make a noble sacrifice for our family, setting aside our similarities to focus on our glaring differences. From politics to Love Island, we livestream our arguments, hoping for an audience. Read “Fight Night” by @emilyrinkema. Cheers, Emily! 🍸
