Challenge #00213: Emotional... Promotion

When Scott finds out that leaders can indeed be seen crying and still be respected, he adjusts accordingly.

Kitty had recorded it because she couldn’t believe it. She showed it to Jean because she still didn’t believe it after watching it fifteen times in a row.

“Wow,” Jean said. And, after the third view, “I was joking when I said Sara’s playing could make a statue cry, but - *damn*…”

Open up the file of the last fic you worked on, copy the very first sentence of that fic (no cheating!), add it to the bottom of this post, and reblog.

Shallan Davar knew she should probably be asleep, but she simply didn’t feel tired. 

You like oranges. 

The little part of Sara that was keeping her alive in the middle of the coldest Valentine’s day New York could remember liked to sing.

Challenge #00212: Prepared.

When being the coward of the county works out well.

There’s always that one weirdo in every town. That’s me. I try not to let on, because this is redneck country, but I’m scared of just about everything. Fortunately, since redneck country is also survivalist country, nobody bats an eye at folks ordering food by the pallet. With GPS co-ordinates instead of a delivery address.

I don’t have a bank account. Not since I

A tree frog in Jember, Indonesia, shelters from the rain under a leaf. The amphibian reportedly held the leaf for 30 minutes before the storm passed.

That high-pitched shrieking noise you just heard was me, dying of the cute.

Challenge #00211: Dining with... Omnivores.

Let’s switch up an old cliche!

The subject of diet comes up, and the alien/s at the table is/are horrified and/or disgusted that humans eat plant matter.

“We’ve done our best, of course, to find compatible foods, and make you feel welcome.”

Sh'shrii had to hand it to the humans. They had only seen the Ssarqa once, over a slightly dodgy analogue communications link, but they were clever enough to cobble together near-appropriate

Women have historically critiqued and challenged their subordinate role. In 248 ce, a Vietnamese peasant woman, Trieu Thi Trinh, told her brother that: “My wish is to ride the tempest, tame the waves, kill the sharks. I want to drive the enemy away to save our people. I will not resign myself to the usual lot of women who bow their heads and become concubines”. Women also challenged the male claim to religious authority and power. A’ishah, Muhammad’s third wife,

Free Plotbunny to a loving home:

Jadzia Dax runs a care facility for very young children on the station… who are Kira, Julian, Miles, Keiko, Sisko (pick one) Quark, Rom, Garak and possibly Morn.

Then one day, as she’s taking stock of the arts cupboard [Kira regularly breaks in] the bell rings. Someone new is coming to ‘class’.

It’s a bucket. Almost full of orange goo. Plastered on the side is a post-it that reads, “Free to a loving home&

Last Person To Get Smallpox Dedicated His Life To Ending Polio

So far, the human race has eliminated just one disease in history: smallpox. But it’s on the cusp of adding a second virus — polio — to that list.

One special man in Somalia was at the battlefront of both eradication efforts. He died unexpectedly last week at age 59 of a sudden illness.

Ali Maow Maalin was the last member of the general public to catch smallpox — worldwide. And he
