Wildebeest

How can wildebeest travel over 50 miles for 5 days with no water in unbearable heat? There's something different about their muscles. https://t.co/y0EapNFaX2

People associate ugliness with my name. Look ar me, I look like a huge antler. I got my ears and horns colliding with each other. I would be cute like a lama if I only had the ears or beastly if my ears lay close to my head, instead of flaring out.
What people dont know about us is that like the lean and lanky camels, we too can go without water for days, granted only 5.

Yesterday at a PMI (Project Management Institute) meeting, a visitor from Sacramento responding to a question on using Agile in Construction quipped that a part of a bridge is not useful at all. But if that bridge is a ship like this, then it is.

Marshmallow tower is a teamwork challenge. Kids do well at these despite having to be unfazed by the tempting marshmallows.

Spell caster

Slime is the hardest thing to cast a spell on. They are always spreading. But Zuna is no beginner. She has mastered the spell casting of slimes. She now carries them when she visits her grandmother, so it is easy for her to not lose way.
The important thing about spell casting on slimes is to listen to the amplified voice and glee when they all come together after having taken different roads.

Musician and the Armed

In a browser's haze, I mistook the slinging gun for the strap of a musician, Agun and a guitar are both held the same way. The left palm goes low around the neck and the right fingers go underneath below.
For the pick and the trigger, we use the same pinhc fingers.
Its music when the pointing finger hols the pick
and noise and mayhem when it lets go.

When bubbles are blown
to match all the
bazillion of spheres
out there

in sync instead
of the Brownian motion



they do the
Darwinian motion

Where the bigger
bubbles eat the
smaller bubbles

and get bigger
and bigger

the fish gets
bigger

than the
bowl

Bowl those bubbles

A House of Sky Walls

.@jaboukie's comedy draws on his life experiences — as a millennial, as a queer person of color — in a style that is spiked with social commentary https://t.co/9HblekDVau

She didnt like walls. How they work with light and shadows emerge out of it. She dreamed of a house with walls of sky, where innocuous mounds of floating snow formed an animal or some other thing, whatever your imagination fancied but never you.

She couldnt imgaine a world without a drone that you could customise how much of a screen you want around you blocking the vision of others. If you didnt welcome other's attention or dont feel chatty you can pull up the incognito VR and blend in with the atmos. Arent the strangers going to bump into you? Thats how you know the bumpers. The bumpers dont have the coords and  hence they smash into you if they are running from their world. Then you get a notification "the sphere is here".
