Soaring above me in Jutland, Denmark this a.m. Cornell's @MerlinBirdID ID'd as red kite, but would be fun to know for sure if anyone can tell from these wing patterns? Just a phone photo, womp-womp. (Also have video.) #BirdsSeenIn2024 @Float_photo @Britnatureguide

@crancomms @nycmidnight But Flash is the best one! (Guaranteed two rounds...) Good luck!

My first ever horror #microfiction is DONE! Honestly, it was a challenge! But an enjoyable one. Now. After two weekends of writing, can someone please stop me entering #FlashFiction2024 !!! #100MicrofictionChallenge #NYCMidnight @nycmidnight

A5: I've always wanted to take an (in-person) class at King Arthur Baking School in Vermont. It might make a nice leaf-peeping road trip combo! Tried this year, but they were all full months in advance. #travchat (photo credit: King Arthur) @VermontTourism

@ImanMissouri @the_lettuce_cat The pearl pasta. It’s stars now. Totally different mouthfeel. The soup is much thinner in ingredients. You may as well heat up a chicken and stars.

@ct2ca @the_lettuce_cat What did they change about it?

I had a divine soup intervention because all of a sudden at like 11pm yesterday, I had an urge to go to jewel and buy soup, and surprise surprise, it was all 50% off. All of this for 15 bucks.

@BobHughesTwit @GeneralMills I just opened a can of this and I am far more upset about this than I should be. The pearl pasta is a very specific mouth feel that can’t be replicated. If I wanted stars I’d just get chicken and.

@GeneralMills please tell me you didn’t change the pasta in chickarina. Say it ain’t so. I have little pasta stars instead of little pasta balls.

@ImanMissouri @the_lettuce_cat Yes but they CHANGED IT and I’m very salty about this.

@the_lettuce_cat Progresso Chickarina has a special place in my heart nothing else can fill

@K_J_Holo Where's the "maybe" button? It's already the 10th, so probably not!

#NaNoWriMo has started. Will you be participating this year? #poll #WritingCommunity #authorscommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter #authors #writers #writerscommunity #writerslife

I am so in love with this adorable promotion from @zillow and @icelandicprov - even put an "offer" on a "house" elfrealtor.com

@FlanaganTrevor Congrats! I'm still polishing, but getting there. Good luck!

After wrestling with multiple drafts I'm finally happy to release this into the judges hands. I've still got a few hours of daylight/sanity left so I may yet update but it's in 🤔👍😎. Good luck to entering else taking part #500wordchallenge2023 #nycmidnight #writingcommunity

@conz Recently waited an hour with my twin toddlers to see Chase and Skye in person. When we got to the front of the line, they were more interested in the store's free juice boxes than anything Paw Patrol. I feel this article.

Underestimate freelancers at your own peril. Originally, ‘freelance’ referred to a medieval mercenary who would fight for whichever nation or person paid them the most. Those tax forms must’ve been nuts to fill out.

@Interior That's a photo!? Looks like art. Amazingly beautiful.

The prairie sunflower is a striking and vibrant flower that adds a beautiful touch to the sandy landscape of Great Sand Dunes National Park. Its bright yellow petals and dark center create a stunning contrast against the surrounding dunes and grasslands. Photo by Patrick Myers

@FlanaganTrevor I don't envy you! But that's the kind of wackadoo prompts I've grown to expect from @nycmidnight (in a good way). Mine were kind of boring and fit together far too well. (Though I'm still writing.) Good luck!

Yep. Sometimes an ideation stage can be a pain. The elongation either caused by no ideas or too many ideas 🤔😳🙄 Good luck to everyone taking part this weekend 🍀🤞😎 #nycmidnight #flashfictionchallenge2023 #writingcommunity #ideation

@sightDOING Long leisurely road trip for sure! When will you otherwise have the luxury to see the country?

Mike & I have had completely opposite tactics for the move this week: Me, drive over 5 days & see some of the country Him, drive in 2 marathon days Me, unpack slowly & leave time for my day job to create a sense of normalcy Him, take the whole week off and settle in WWYD?

@IttyBittyPoet We’re not, I’ve just been reading through a bunch of stories and remembered yours! Mine is a historical fiction. Placed 9th. Looking forward to a new challenge this weekend!

@ct2ca Thank you! We’re you in the same group? I’d love to read yours if I haven’t already. 😊

I made it into the top 15 (8th place!) in Round 1 of NYC Midnight Flash Fiction Writing Competition! Round 2 starts Friday at midnight!! #NYCMidnight

@shes_so_square So jealous. Except the Foxon Park needs to be orange. No excuses.

treated myself to an extremely Southern CT meal after what was probably the worst and most disappointing trip of my life. traditional apizza from the Red Tomato in Madison paired with a Foxon Park. 🤌

@lethers @travchats I LOVE kayaking, but it's all about the fit. Look for a tour that uses an "open" cockpit style instead of "skirt" kayaks. I've had my @WildySystems Pungo kayak for nearly 30 years now. (Though its seat is worn out and unfixable😢) #travchat

@travchats That was my wife's thoughts until she discovered a kayak with, as she put it, a big enough cockpit. Not that she was oversized but suffers from mild claustrophobia. trc

A1: Kayaking and hiking are my favourite outdoor activities. Can be done on my own or with company. Both are slow paced and don't involve a lot of adrenaline #travchat

@GoNOMAD Misquamicut's waterslide park is gone? Old news, but I had no idea. Super sad. Thanks for sharing this article. Childhood memory: unlocked!

@JCastleWrites It's going to be a long summer.

Happy summer! How are my fellow work from home while also parenting folks doing?
