A #cat stares into my eyes
Begging for parking lot pets
A hundred dots peering from strays

A quote from #CSLewis and his work, #TheScrewtapeLetters.

Another piece of classic #literature pissing off the Nazis. So, I read.

Enjoy!

I guess it’s easy to post ridiculous profit margins when you don’t need to pay for copyrighted material. If only this problem could have been easily avoided by not using that material in the first place but what do I know

The song of #sonder
Rings out in thunder

The lightning
It cries
A bell tolled

Living
Dead

Past

#Candid

We, warring amphibians
between corroded travesty
bemused corrupted tragedy
revolving door of infights

With parody arguments
and noteworthy box ranch
of #waffles and blue birds
It's not a clean thing

Tell me,
what do your castles stand for?

Thank you :) I shall endeavor to use the proper terminology here forward

I was once rather #candid
I thought that would be lauded
But I found that it was hated
Perhaps truth is not what’s fated

I just know he’s there deep in my soul. Heard rumors he might be an inter dimensional traveler. Somehow I feel like this picture supports that

Mission Report: We have secured what a local said was a good donut shop. We are now debating if we secure lunch, dinner, or an auto repair store yet. While we have not encountered violence yet, Jim did trip on his shoe lace. This incident has raised our vigilance

Good thing our clients can’t get inside my office building! No really my desk is a pile of mail they keep putting on my desk. They’d be horrified. Imagine that in a psychiatry office though. Now that would be a bad sign

He does not walk

I think in their minds it’s only the most extreme behavior that qualifies. So to be called a racist is to be called something more akin to a KKK member. Or I’m overthinking that and it’s just that they know racism bad but they think they’re good so they can’t be the bad thing

“Look we can tolerate racism but we can’t tolerate being called racist! Just because I look out the window and stare at every Black and Hispanic person who passes by to make sure I won’t get robbed doesn’t make me racist!” -Suburban White People

Red flowers sprout
Amongst the trout
Swimming river
To deliver
Their final rest
Making a nest
Feeding the bears
Conquering fears

Turns out Piccolo wasn’t meditating and Vegeta actually disturbed him from his nap!
