The original typeset scroll of #OnTheRoad, by #JackKerouac.
A pale pink rose lying on wet pavement
How many #harmonies must I miss
while dancing alone under your rain?

A blue towel with the words “don’t panic” embroidered in orange.
Happy (posthumous) birthday to that hoopy #DouglasAdams, a frood who really knew where his towel was. I raise a pan-galactic gargle blaster to you!

Day 24: Thomas Jefferson’s Qur’an, by Denise Spellberg
It’s one of those days when the wipers are on beat with the music, when the birds chirp in harmony, when the color of the sky perfectly complements your eyes. Come to think of it, there have been a lot of days like this recently, and all in a row. Hey wait! This is a simulation, isn’t it? #vss365
I think they were mostly DC and Marvel. The episode played off a lot of Superman tropes.

The responses to #vss365 for lightning fairly sang with creativity. It's a pleasure to be part of a group that is so talented and gets along so well together. I'd like to buy you all a soft drink to enjoy as you contemplate the March 10 #prompt: #harmony.
New Who also featured comics in one of the Capaldi Christmas specials. They did a whole superhero episode and there were comic books in that one too.
The forked lighting flashes
In the night’s dark inky gloom
Followed by the rolling sound
The mighty thunder…spooned?

The poetic lightning is always forked. Does that make the poetic thunder spooned? #vss365

Jack Kirby, with Chic Stone, tells a tale about Jack Ruby’s murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, from May 1967’s Esquire magazine.
I had no idea at all “46 Hours & 36 Minutes In The Life Of Jack Ruby” existed. It’s amazing what you can turn up while trawling through old archives.
An illustration of an owl with head slightly tilted and crescent moon above. Poem text reads "かたむいた月のふくろうとして" I am unsure of an appropriate translation.
'Owl and Crescent Moon' - Kozaki Kan, ca. 1990s.

Day 22: Parable of the Sower, by Octavia Butler
That’s a whole different kind of dark magic.
—This is a spellbinding grimoire. I’m going to be stuck here for ages.
—The magic is that powerful?
—No. It’s the handwriting. It’s going to take years to decipher.

Sol might not have amounted to much in the grand scheme of the cosmos, but she owned the most spectacular piece of jewelry anywhere/when in space-time. Her necklace of planets, which featured the exceedingly rare life-giving one, was the envy of all the other stars in the Milky Way. #vss365
The worst.
Surrender Earthling
The message will now repeat
We don’t come in peace

Day 21 We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson
I'm not just being magnanimous when I say that #vss365 creativity is dazzling to behold. As those who know me will attest, I'm attracted to shiny things. Let your writing sparkle with the March 7 #prompt, #jewelry.

Day 20: A Wrinkle in Time, by Madame L’Engel
Indeed.
…but I’ll have to do a full inventory later, and I probably should change all my passwords. What a weird and frustrating day.
So, right as I was in the middle of querying agents, my computer went nuts. It made beeping noises and flashed warnings. In the background, it looked the way a computer getting hacked in the movies does. I immediately shut it down, and it appears everything is ok after the restart (hours later)…
