After the stroke, the part of Gran's brain that kept her still when she was sleeping stopped working. I'd sit by her side while she slept so she wouldn't fall. Often, her hands would move in #anfractuous ways, like she was casting a spell. Turns out she was sewing. #vss365

"I think she has #deipnophobia, doctor." "Really?" "Abby won't sit at the table. She never talks to me. She runs away without a word! Can you imagine?" "I guarantee Abby has no disorders. She's a healthy and happy house cat. You, however, should come see me Friday." #vss365

I feel the pinch of the neuroleptic injection. - Don't be #finifugal - "I'm not ready." - It's time - "Don't go." - I have to - "But why? Why can't you stay with me forever?" - Because imaginary friends go when you stop imagining, and you chose sanity over me - #vss365

She wore her ever-present mask of impassivity. I hated it. It made me want to scream, shout, laugh maniacally... but I wasn't permitted emotions. I was the ice queen's daughter. I had to at least pretend to be an #agelast. For now. #vss365

Dis human Tries to feed me— But gets my order wrong He is So Incompetent Don’t think I’ll stay here long When I could #xertz A warm milk He offers yucky crap I don’t know how He has survived EatingStuffLikeThat He’s ‘sposed to be The smart one— But I doubt that’s fact #vss365

"Are you prepared?" "I am." "Then renounce all you possess." The sister takes my clothes and jewellery and leaves. Another nun enters. "Why are you in the temple naked, child?" I shiver. "The c-ceremony of #abnegation." "Ugh. Sister Margaret is at it again." #vss365

"You designed the AI vacuum, so you can name it." I look down at the small, stubborn bot. "#Obstreperous. Streppy for short." "Perfect! Go Streppy!" The bot zips off to bang into the corner of the room for 4 hours and then stops after choking the cord for the blinds. #vss365

Stupid Debutante's Ball. #Debut was just another word for inexperienced and gullible. Well she wasn't going to be sloppily kissed and groped by some boy. Smudging dirt on her cheeks and pristine white dress, she stuck her chin out and glared at her mother. Bring it on. #vss365

I wonder if the BTS and TikTok kids can help LGBTs with this. What if gay guys took pictures of themselves making out with each other or doing very gay things, then tagged themselves with #ProudBoys. I bet it would mess them up real bad. #ReclaimingMyShine

"#RELAX!" I wave him back. "I got this." "Oh God! It's going to explode!" "We'll be OK." I take a deep breath and open the crescent rolls. We both yelp when it pops. "That was terrifying." I pat his shoulder. "The worst is over, Dad. Now you just have to bake 'em." #vss365

#ProudBoys Bless you George Takei

The #ProudBoys hashtag has been taken over by the best people.

TAKE BACK THE HASHTAG. This is the only kind of #ProudBoys I support.

Confessions of non-Buddhist: I signed up for this retreat because my crush is here. Sitting still makes me itchy and my butt aches. I'm supposed to be contemplating #satori, but I'm thinking up ways to bust outta here. I'd kill for a mocha and 3 mins with my phone. #vss365

"Got yer wee pack-sack?" "It's a #back-pack." "The one with the sleepie sack?" "Sleeping bag." "Who sleeps in a bag?" "Everyone who camps!" "Alright, alright. An' yer clubs?" "We don't golf when we go camping." "Do yer dinger!" "Gotta go. Love you, Granda!" #vss365

I hoist my baby cousin up. "Now add the flour." "Is it pretty?" "What?" "The #flower." "Oh. No. It's actually ground up grass seeds." "Why?" "I don't know. But now it bakes, and in the meantime I'll read you a story." Her eyes go wide. "Do we have to be mean?" #vss365

"Where's your place?" "NoMad District." "Is that full of AirBnbs for Digital Nomads?" "No. It's just short for 'North of Madison Square Park.'" "And here I thought you were a sexy #nomad." "Well, you're half right." He grins. "Oh, no, honey, I was all wrong." #vss365

I always thought things happened for a reason. That there's a cause-and-effect connection. If you think about it, things make sense, and the answer to "Why?" isn't "Just #because." And then 2020 struck. Everything I knew went out the window. And chaos fucking reigns. #vss365

around'n'round'n'round'n'#round.. Phew. It's tough bein' your dog. Oh, are you still watchin'? Annnnnd... around'n'round'n'round'n'round... #vss365

After the war, more #machine than man, he returned to cringing expressions and pitied voices. He could live without his legs. What he couldn't stand was their wretched sympathy. Until he met her, a woman's mind nestled in a sleek bot, she was the only one who understood. #vss365
