Just a haiku inspired by the constant commercials for different medications. It could help you, or even cure you, but watch out for the crazy amount of side effects including death. It‘s wild 🤦‍♀️😅😮 #haikuaday #haikuhive

AmyG Ha, yes….we always chuckle that death could be a side effect. And don‘t take if you are allergic…duh. And…how many times have those stupid jingles gotten stuck in your head? 🤣 1d
TheSpineView So true. 💛🐝💛 1d

JenlovesJT47 Side effects include things that are worse than what you are taking the medication for, including death💀😆. This is funny and so true. 💛🐝🖤 1d
CBee @AmyG oh my gosh, too many times to count - it drives me crazy!!! And it isn‘t just one jingle - there are so many 🤪😅😂 1d
CBee @JenlovesJT47 exactly! Like, this will help you! Unless you die 😂😅🤦‍♀️ 1d

Eggs I love this! The medicated people frolicking outdoors 🎶 while the announcer‘s voice gets fast and low and the side effects are shown in microscopic print at the bottom!#!*%$!! 1d
CBee @Eggs exactly! Especially the ones for things like Crohn‘s and anything stomach related - they‘re rock climbing and riding roller coasters! It‘s a miracle 😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 1d

Phone scrolling at urinal
Spotting hipsters in the wild
Nerds or ephemeral

vivastory *Inspired by spotting a level 7 hipster at a urinal, one hand on his hip and the other effortlessly scrolling through his phone. What struck me was when I left the bathroom the entire place had been invaded by hipsters. (edited) 2d

Asako Yuzuki's talk on Butter was a festival highlight. The translation lag and inaccuracies made it all the more memorable. #sydneywritersfestival

This one was special.

All the stars 😭💕

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

IriDas Same. I really loved the book. 4d
RaeLovesToRead @IriDas It was amazing and made me cry 😭💕 2d
uncommonlycozies I‘m so excited to read this! Gotta love a good tearjerker 🥹 given the themes- do you think that this is a book you can pick up at any time or would you plan for a specific time? 2d
RaeLovesToRead @uncommonlycozies I would say it can be read at any time. It takes place over the course of a whole year! The only thing I will say is that the first 30-50 pages were a bit slow.... but once I got into it it was absolutely amazing!!!! 💕💕 2d

The song “Wolf,” by First Aid Kit, has been in my head this morning, prompting this haiku. Including the link (in comments) for that song plus another I love by Brandi Carlile (Mama Werewolf). #haikuaday #haikuhive

This book also introduced me to the concept of the baby Buddha, and it‘s just beyond adorable. It‘s an internet rabbit hole of adorableness!
