So many pop culture and literary allusions and cultural references and impacts. I love the way this pays respects.

Rollers are a group of birds that get their name from their
dramatic tumbling flight during courtship and territorial displays.
While we did see a bit of those displays, this Lilac-breasted Roller seemed mainly concerned with flashing his fancy colours!

All through childhood, Jeff saved and scrimped to buy every #issue of Superman. He squirreled them away in protective covers in his parents’ attic.

“We’re moving. Claim anything you want by the 20th.”

He showed up late on the 22nd to an empty attic and sobbed. #vss365

“Where are you going?” the man shouted from the back of the ambulance, “You just passed the hospital!”

The ambulance driver turned so the man could see his skeletal face. “I’ve got orders to #transport you someplace else,” he replied. #vss365

He spent so much time on his project that his 35-year-old spine looked bent.

She hung clothes as he emerged fist raised triumphantly. “It works!”

“What?”

He pressed a button and the barn rolled back revealing a slick ship. “ #Transport off this hell hole.” #vss365

Good morning, writers!
From tomorrow your host will be the lovely & healthy Sheila @lovehealthed.bsky.social who will post at 8am GMT.
Thank you all; it's been great apart from the early mornings!
My final word is #transport - very apt as I trundle off into the sunset.

I wonder if the gods ever feel the creeping threat of our #science. Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from Magic and any sufficiently advanced alien is indistinguishable from God. How close are we to encroaching on the powers of divinity? Will the gods ever notice us? #vss365

She wheeled the sheet-covered body into the #science lab, "I've got a new specimen for you."

"Where did it come from?" the research pathologist asked.

She pulled the sheet off revealing a body that looked exactly like hers, only older, "The time travel lab," she replied. #vss365

He threw files into a briefcase, ejected the jump drive, and said adieu to his office of 30 years. Resignations would be sent later.

Evelyn hoisted her overflowing knapsack. “Ready for New England?”

#Science won’t disappear on our watch.”

They drove north from Bethesda. #vss365

Good morning. Today's word is #science.
Which is a category in my Xword book & a subject I touched on at O.level with Biology, Human Biology, and Cookery/Domestic Science.

This is my penultimate day as host, of early rising & much screen time. I will miss it, ambivalently.

Good morning.
Today's word is another from the index of my 60yo Xword solver's book, and I've made up a clue for it.

Clue: Anaesthetic you can count on.

Have you worked it out? You should, being wordsmiths!

Answer: #Number.

A rumbling ball of fire shot from the cave.

“Nuh uh.”

She edged away. “But…”

“Dragons are a #myth. You’ve been reading too much fantasy.”

STOMP, STOMP, STOMP. A dragon’s snout emerged and she fled.

“Maybe I was wrong.” As he contemplated, he was fried. #vss365

Good morning. Today's word is #myth, like the exhortation to writers that we must keep subbing until agents begin fighting over who should have the privilege of representing us.
Or the Tooth Fairy. Your choice. Have fun!

#November11th is the day we remember with gratitude the immeasurable numbers of people who died fighting fascism. We vowed it would never happen again - but here it is. I pray it doesn't prevail.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to revisit its landmark 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges—meaning marriage equality remains protected nationwide. It’s a moment to honor enduring rights, and renew the promise of dignity and equality for all.

“That’s not #literature.” He sneered. “It’s pablum.”

“It’s fiction.” She smiled. “I’m sorry it’s not to your taste.”

“Keats, Dickinson, Dante—now those were authors.”

“Hey, bud, you’re holding up the line.” The man stepped around him. “Love your books.” #vss365

Greetings! I didn't want to wake up this morning,but here I am with today's word - #literature. According to Collins that is any writing of artistic merit,which isn't much help when deciding on the genre of my books.Are they literary or pulp fiction?
I may go back to bed now.
