I want to start a new thread story. Not sure how long it will be and I may use different prompts: #vss365 #vssmagic #vssnature etc etc ... I love reading about legends and folk lore, and in my fantasy writing I often create my own myths. So this will be just a fun exercise...
According to #lore &myths of old,griffins nestled on these cliffs long ago. They swooped down on the unsuspecting;carried them off never to be seen again.
Griffins were not elemental creatures,but air & earth did have dominion over them; their only enemy -fire.

"I helped your troupe avoid #shadow and #gore," said the dark wizard simply, implying that he saved us from the mythical griffins. I gaped at him. "And now for what you promised."

When Lara Trump mocked #Biden's #stutter, #Sully wrote an op-ed calling out the "culture of cruelty." He, too, struggled with stuttering as a kid & he wanted kids to know that "a speech disorder is a lot easier to treat than a character defect." /thread. nytimes.com/2020/01/18/opi…

#Sully: "You can be a pilot who lands your plane on a river and helps save lives, or a president who treats people with respect, rather than making fun of them. You can become a teacher to kids who stutter. A speech disorder is a lot easier to treat than a character defect."

This is my son. I’m very proud of him. He has ADD, and a severe stutter. He hasn’t stuttered in a month. He has been misjudged by his teachers and school. I, myself, slip on my words and “YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN” is a common Dad-ism here. This is very personal for me. When I do it,
We blame it on my ditsy mind or my part polish family inside joke of a Polish 🇵🇱 stereotype of being absent minded. “Pick up the linkin life”, “the wood thingies”. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. When he does it, though, they treat him like he’s slow. For two years he had his karate belt..
The white “participation” belt, taken away because he couldn’t sit still when NOT being given an instruction. From 7-8 years old his school’s karate program deprived him of his basic participation white belt not for not learning the teachings, but for forgetting in between
