How Many Bees In A Gift-wrapped Box Is Too Many Bees In A Gift-wrapped Box?

Me, in America, every single goddamned day of 2025 so far.

The chemical name for vitamin C is “ascorbic acid”. I always used to wonder about this one. Is being ascorbic like being acerbic? Is it like being ascetic? Absorbent? Some combination of all of them?

Today I learned that scorbi is just a Latinish way of writing scurvy. So a-scorbi-c acid is “no-scurvy acid”.

Where are the warrants for arrest?

Espionage. Treason. Betrayal.

No, I will not elaborate.

Another excerpt from my dark fantasy WIP:

"God forbid you stop and ask for directions.." Rivers rolled his eyes. I was about to protest but the sudden appearance of a rabbit in the middle of the dark road made me slam hard on the brakes.

The creature cowered as the fender stopped inches from its trembling body. Once assured it wouldn't become the day's freshest roadkill, it gazed at us with huge saucer eyes.

Rivers spat a curse, startled by the sudden stop. I was more interested in the rabbit's unnatural copper colored eyes. With the haunting mechanical jauntiness of a child's wind up toy, it quickly rose up on its hind legs, shifting shape to a willowy tiny humanoid with tapered ears and a mouth full of tiny maliciously pointed teeth.

The Pooka hissed ominously, clawed fingers pulling itself up onto the hood of the car. I sighed as Rivers went for his gun.

"Should we ask him for directions then?"

It's official.📚

They're no longer Teslas.

They're Swasti-cars.

There's not a day goes by that I don't think of her. Rest amongst the stars, little Space Angel...you deserved so much better from this world. 🌠🌌
