I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.
Things may still suck so here's a thread of Lego Botanicals I have put together over the past year.
I like this thread a lot because it reminds me of the importance of giving hope to readers. To counterbalance the bad with the good and to counter dystopia with utopia. As Gandalf said, "Hope is a candle," and maybe we should light more candles into our stories.
There’s very little chance what I’m about to say will reach more than an audience of about a dozen people, but I think it’s worth shouting into the void that cautionary tales were never ALL we needed to radicalized us, sew seeds of change & prevent the social horrors that we now find ourselves in…

Thread about how cautionary tales are merely a social bandaid, and sometimes they’re a blueprint for bad behavior. About how we all desperately need ethical storytelling, hope-core, solarpunk, indigenous storytelling, and to continually reimagine reality as functional utopias. #WriterSky #BookSky 📚

Fact: During WWII their was a shortage of silk stockings and women used eye liner and eye pencils to create an illusion they were still wearing them by drawing the design on their legs. Makeup companies like Loreal even made a product called "liquid stockings" Anyway its a recession.
A viral trend wants you to use every last squeeze of lip gloss and swipe of eye shadow. The challenge is to reach the metal pan of powder makeup or to get every last drop out of bottles, jars and tubes before buying more.
Here’s how to do it safely:

I know Will is going to keep finding ways to fight but this decision is extremely disappointing.
Okay so unfortunately I’ve been removed from rapid response networks, at least in my immediate area. I think even alerting you of this would be deemed a violation of principles but given how much I’ve talked about it I do feel the need to say what’s up.

I wanted to throw Jimmy Page into an active volcano for years after I found out about his bullshit.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

Local news finally put the numbers out for the Iowa Trump rally, and in a venue sized to hold 3000, the estimate in attendance was 750 to 1000 which would explain why the camera never panned to the audience during the whole thing.
Is the audience large or small? Are they lapping this up, or clapping politely? Has anyone walked out?

Heist movie where a ragtag team assembles to break their friend out of jail, but the only tools they have are from a kitchen drawer.
As all they have is a pizza cutter, a barbeque fork, a ladle, a whisk, and a sense of justice

It's a myth remix where Heracles refuses to harm the legendary monsters and instead builds a found family out of them.
Also, according to numerous librarians, it features the most sailor-mouthed Hera of all time.
