I love lying on my back peering into the night sky outside the city lights. The stars! I mentally flip gravity and I’m pressed against a ceiling staring into an endlessly deep abyss I could fall into forever if the Earth ever let go of me.

The parking attendant paused by the double-length bay. Intended for mobile homes and cars with trailers, it was currently occupied by a sleeping dragon. No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn. The parking attendant moved on.
Commander, I would like to increase the number of security officers posted on each deck by a factor of three. There are teenagers aboard this ship. Worf
If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.
I really love these kinds of places. Where things have been built and repaired over an over. It's very satisfying to me to draw them #art #drawing #penandink #sketchbook
Too young for nuclear war drills, too old for active shooter drills. Aye, that’s the sweet spot.

"It's none of my business," the woman said, "but..." The witch did not roll her eyes. "...I heard you gave the baker's gal fangs, and claws." "She asked." "You've made her a monster!" "Adding doesn't make you a monster. Removing does." "Removing what?" "Someone's right to be who they are."
