Jane Goodall passes and only thing people want to talk about is the stupid government shutting down for the millionth time. Rich people acting like crybabies doing rich people things. I’ll mourn Jane.

The thing about guidelines and "rules" and etc. is the writers who overstress about them usually have no reason to and the writers who ignore them are the very ones the guidelines were there for.
I feel guilty submitting a story when it's 45 words over the word limit. I can't even imagine thinking I'm so special I don't have to read the actual journal.

Thinking about my sweet Lulu that passed several years ago and a certain song I’d play and she knew it was play time. I’d dance silly and she would go grab a toy to play fetch with. I’m not I’ve listened to the song since. And even if I did, the magic would be gone.
