Feeling this again today and all days as a handful of awful people just ruin everything for everyone.

It's Dough Day π₯π
This is Pane Siciliano, made with 100% Durum Semolina flour. I had just added a bit of olive oil to the dough.
One thing I admire about Red-winged Blackbirds--they really belt it out. This guy is putting everything into his song. Spotted along Central Park's Harlem Meer. πΆπΆπΆ #Blackbirds #CentralPark #birding
Boldest thing I've done to a story? Write it entirely in letters! My debut is epistolary which made me nervous for sure (it's not done a ton) but my inspo was a real life pen pal & from the very beginning that's how I heard the characters voices & it just flowed! β¨βοΈβ¨

Wish I had a suit selection like Kojak.
I rewatched All Is Lost after Robert Redford passed away. Suspense with little to no dialogue. Amazing film.
Didn't Telly Savalas have his own line of men's suits?
In the time I've spent reading your posts in the last month alone I could have read both the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
I cannot thank you all individually but I want you to know that you have my eternal gratitude. β€οΈππ€
A further problem with punctuation is that each writer has a style of writing and their punctuation choices are part of that style. This means some excellent writers bend writing rules intentionally. Your editor may argue with you but fundamentally, these are choices.

It rained overnight. When I got up this morning zillions of small birds were in the parking, pecking industriously at the tarmac. I watched them through the window until my shadow, a movement must have alerted them to my presence. Then they rose as one and magically disappeared into the pine trees.
Painting en plein air at #TannersWines in #Shrewsbury! Thereβs nothing like capturing this historic timber-framed landmark on location. I had to hide in the shade - direct sun on the paper makes judging colours impossible!
Finished piece coming next.

Beneath this header, there are two photos of a bookshopβone of bookshelves, one of the outside of the shopβwith a filter that slightly washes them out. Arrows point to the photos beside text that reads "Blue Willow Bookshop, est. 1996."

Do younger people know about the huge effort that was put into decreasing the % of smokers. Education campaigns in print, on TV, in schools, new restrictions/enforcement, labeling, a soupΓ§on of public shaming, changes in how smoking was depicted, etc. Might guide us in anti-anti-vax efforts.
