After a #moment, the sky began to crack. God was outside in #space tapping on our tiny membrane with a giant spoon, while contemplating the #vagaries of a soft-boiled lineage.
Soon it was raining yolk generally all over. And folks were transformed into startled shells, only more yellowy.

Tariff policies
are vaguely terrifying--
#Vagaries of Trump.

The #vagaries of the sea
bring my muse to me
magic colors my words
turning dreams to song
I sing for the sea
She dances the tides chorus
Awakening my story’s journey

His life was boring. Everyday he woke up at the same time, ate the same breakfast, took his seat at the same cubicle at work, and ate the same dinner at home. He longed for the #vagaries of life he read so much about. #vss365 #vagary
Pt 159 They crossed the draw bridge & entered town through the gate. Dawn thought it might be a #challenge to find clan-kin before dark, but the #vagaries of chance were in their favor at the #moment. Off to their right #side, Dawn saw Tsuquida, a clan-sister, & hollered “Quetta!”

"So... Are we subject to the #vagaries of time?"
"Oh, no. Not at all. We actually talk about the timestream, you see? It sometimes winds left or right, but eventually it stretches out. We travel up and down and just make small changes. Large ones somehow end up erased."

If the stars wept
across the #vagaries of time,
might we meet again
crafted of fire
spun from one-verse
where absurdity rules
and veils stretch thin.

She's always had trouble reading a map. These days she relies on the Google map voice guiding her right and left turns. With no service this far out of town, the switchbacks, the #vagaries, of this hiking trail has her confused. Yesterday she was married, today she is single.

Crescent arose
In April annoyance
To crisp spring night
Confused by the light
A celestial blight
Midst all the #vagaries
Of shooting stars
For, but hands, she would swat
Away, these fire flies

Mute those clueless preachers
when they preach
with clenched teeth
that old time gospel
from dusty books
printed by Gutenberg
centuries before
So very time insensitive
to the swirling
behavioral #vagaries
of the text age
Adapt or die
Why don't pseudo pious
dinosaurs ever listen?

Let's go over the #vagaries of this year's Pan-galactic Punk Picnic, Bob!
K'ol, best dessert requires at least one live eel in the dish, top entree needs exactly six ounces of moondust, and all aperitifs must be four dimensional! Sound about right?
Don't forget presentation!
Oh! The rhumba!

"Bren! Will ya talk ta ya woman! Her #vagaries are gettin outta hand!" He hissed.
"What did you do this time?" I asked, turning to Valarie.
"I put water in the empty vodka bottles and told him i restocked the fridge as a gift."
"Ah, yup, that'll do it."

Vampire bro got a call from a friend who said "I met someone, but I never been horny for a guy before, what does this mean?" Bro said "Worrying about the #vagaries of such things will only keep you from enjoying both the journey and the ass. Just ask them out and see what happens next" #vss365
Tea leaves never confused her. Blotches of oolong morphed into letters, animals, suns and swords. But the #vagaries of people! Many claimed to want the truth but didn't listen.
"I see a lover," she told him. "Very close."
He married the next girl he met and ignored her heart in the teacup. #vss365
Draven did not say it but the tactic was not unfamiliar to him. Letting some of the enemies survive was always better than total annihilation as the #vagaries inherent in the rumours created more horror than silence. Silence demanded investigation and revenge. #vss365
"Now mind you, Baker Draven. There are many #vagaries in the art of hunting so I might be back tomorrow or next month. Would that cause spoilage of the deal at some point?” Draven shook his head and said, “No, but I hope the meat is not month old when I get it.” #vss365
“This AI simulation of Freddie Mercury singing an Amy Winehouse song is clever,” Emma says. “But he’s singing it exactly like she did. The real Freddie would throw in his own #vagaries.”
“Yeah, the tech definitely has a long way to go” says Tom. “Case in point, Emma would never say that...” #vss365
Weimann nodded and stared Lambert, it was one of those moments Lambert hated, being evaluated and judged and then Weimann said, “What would be your part in this? I have yet to see you suggest something without partaking in the toil and avoiding the #vagaries of it.” #vss365
“It would take time? Could we finish it before spring?” Weimann said and sounded interested but aloof as if hiding enthusiasm. Lambert shook his head and said, “No, it would take two years, maybe just one depending on the #vagaries of skilled workers at hand.” #vss365
an ode to
humanity
to our emotions
flaws & #vagaries
to our courage
resilience & creativity
in the face of
pain & tragedy
our accidental
masterpieces
rise from despair
to share what life teaches
pull salvation from
the belly of weakness
oh, let the world see
the beauty of our genius

“I am the helmsman of this transport and I have with me a sharp spear.” Freya said and Arne joined the talks. “We too carry spears and plant them like flowers in the Alfar soil. For now, the #vagaries of raiding do not fall between us. My word as the captain.” #vss365
Harald twisted the hammer on his chest and said, “I am that, the piercer of hearts, and I remember you Freya Freewoman. Stealer and breaker of hearts, I remember you. I, the survivor of the #vagaries of heart your eyes and smile brought upon me.” #vss365
A voice broke through the common channel and called out, “Harald Oakroot. Arrow splitter from Hraesvelgr. I know that bowcaster from the walls of Lund, where the #vagaries of war were balanced by the hail of bolts from your bow. I am Freya Freewoman, remember me?” #vss365
Even in the best of times, the #vagaries of my personality were well known. Now, going through my recovery, I am always in a foul mood, rude and disrespectful to everyone except my foster mother. Visitors stop coming. Being alone allows me to focus on my rehabilitation.

Some demons possess humans in order to infiltrate their society and corrupt others. What a waste of time. The #vagaries of primate interaction are a massive pain in the ass. I mean, smiling, laughter, weeping? Who has time for that? Possess, rampage, repeat is my motto.

The #vagaries of war, he mused. Some live, some die, some excel their training only to be taken by a ricochet they didn't hear. Daytime, nighttime, anytime, anywhere, when the god of war chooses you for his Army Eternal, you have no say in the deal.
The horn sounded. He rose again.
“Not going to lie. I’m a little concerned.” Hair bristled on the back of her neck.
“Oh, honey, don’t tell me you been listenin to Marjorie’s #vagaries. Nothin to it.”
The lights went out.
“Just a storm.”
Someone screamed.
“Mebbe somethin to it.” #vss365
Once a prominent ornithologist, the #vagaries of life, casual cruelties that could happen to anyone yet seemed to target her, specifically, left her fearful. She searched her birds for omens, read ruddy feathers and assigned meaning to flight paths—sense-making for a world seen in wingbeats.
