pexels-photo-46275-largeHere is this week’s list of flash fiction and other tidbits from my favourite corners of the web.

I included the picture on the right because it intrigues me. I sure wish I knew what book it was from.

Profanity Is Pretty F**king Good for Us, Actually. As true as this may be, I’d still feel weird about cursing in front of certain relatives. Ha!

Don’t Worry: Wi-Fi Isn’t Dangerous. This was a great article.

This Is the Best Way to Motivate Yourself to Exercise via SugarSavvyRN‬. I somehow managed to discovered several of these methods on my own when I started exercising regularly a few years ago. It’s nice to have confirmation, though.

From The Original Underclass:

From A Letter to the Sister I Ate in Utero via shawnamawna:

I’m not sure why it happened. You were there in one ultrasound. A shadow person. A double image. The doctor says I absorbed you. Mama says that makes me twice the woman I might have been.

What have you been reading?
