I was trying to think of a favourite photo from this year, and this face-on shot of a Drinker came to mind. This moth piqued my interest because of its unusual appearance in comparison to other #moths I'd seen this year. It wasn't easy to photograph. It was incredibly lively. #teammoth

There needs to be an indie author website that highlights indie authors instead of consumers having to crawl around amazon or kobo or whatever. There IS a consumer base, but it needs to be more straight-forward. #booksky
Unless I'm mistaken and the damn thing already exists and no one's told me.

Hi everyone! We are putting together a mini-series on cancer, from the history to the biology to the concept of cancer as a disease. We are looking for people willing to share your experience with cancer - whatever that may mean to you.
