Writers prompt: A short story playing out how life would be different in the US if the “Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios (1984)” case had the opposite ruling. (The legality of using a VCR) Also known as the “Betamax case.” #Writingprompt #grownostr #storysparkstr

Walked around a property we purchased pre covid, looking to try to build next year, been a long time coming. Anyway found a deer buck skull and antlers, and spine clean and bleached from the sun. Any steps needed to preserve these? #deer #buck #bones #hunting #asknostr

Destroyed this hornet nest yesterday. And flooded today. Middle of my yard, I’ve got young kids, 20 ft from the back door it had to go. I tried a few things the dish soap method seemed to be the decisive trick. Pours a cup or 2 of dawn into their whole then a garden hose on jet stream to froth it and flood the whole. I flooded it again this morning with still a chill in the air. Still one or two buzzing around investigating what happened but the nest is destroyed. #hornets #wasps #grownostr

#31days

I’m not doin great being consistent every day but did get this much today.

Skipped the farmers walk.

Teach your kids they are the scariest things in the dark.

When the night grows still and the winds blow low,

And shadows twist in the moon’s soft glow,

Remember this: you’re bold, you’re brave,

It’s you the shadows try to evade!

Monsters under the bed, they flee,

From you, the bravest they can see.

Your footsteps echo, loud and strong,

They know they won’t last here for long.

The closet door might creak and groan,

But it’s you who owns the night alone!

With just a glance, you make them run,

They fear your courage, every one!

So when the dark feels big and wide,

Stand tall, for you’ve got strength inside.

No ghost or ghoul can match your fight,

Because you are the fiercest in the night!

Bad digital networks take personal human interactions and move them to digital.

Good social networks take digital interactions and move them to personal human.

What does this statistic mean if the people within these categories move between these categories over 30 years? Isn’t the top 20 percent always disproportionately 65 year olds with retirement accounts and paid off houses about to retire? And the lower categories disproportionately 20ish somethings with no assets to their name because, you know, they are 20? And life began exactly 20 years prior.

Humbug, who hasn’t eaten a little sand during a beach volleyball game.

I presume it keeps it from caking due to moisture. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, that was me. I definitely have suspicions about the health care system incentives but I got one for just these kinds of things. It’s hard to access the system for things you want without a primary physician. And the stats on bloodwork etc are still useful, you can find others to interpret etc if there are others you trust more. But you may be able to find a physician that you can work with.
