FOLLOWERS

Thank you for linking.
So you know what I'm thinking.
It's coffee I'm drinking.
From hard work, I'm shrinking.

Tomorrow's a dream.
So for today, I'll scheme.
Filling out a paperless ream,
With no solid, fixed theme.

It's about using words, of course, but, while an occasional favorite or boost happens, there's little engagement.

A two-part Challenge Proposal:

A) Post a toot using the word in any way, sentence, story, analysis, rhyme...

B) Doodlers and Artists, use the word as the subject of a #SketchChallenge

Get in on the fun of words and visual imagination.

Start today?

Remember to use the #WordOfTheDay hashtag, of course.

Thanks to anyone who decides to follow this account.

I have a habit of responding to all who do so, but this is a second account, and I may mess up when trying to determine who is a new follower and who is "also" following after connecting by way of my mastodon.cloud account.

It is not my intent to litter myself all over the fediverse. I will see how things go. I've made connections with several others on mastodon.art and think I'll feel at home here while NOT restricting my toots to artistic attempts. It looks like the instance won't generally mind.

Words have art in them, too.

Good luck to all of us.

Strength to the fediverse through the efforts of individuals.

Is there an assumption that everybody is a fisherman...

...when they talk about net assets?

tractable

Pronunciation /ˈtraktəb(ə)l/
adjective
1 (of a person) easy to control or influence.
1.1 (of a situation or problem) easy to deal with.

Origin
Early 16th century from Latin tractabilis, from tractare ‘to handle’ (see tractate).

==========

I appreciate all the efforts made to make algebra tractable for me. Those efforts were applied too early for me. Time, and mental maturity, was the eventual cure.

Do seamstresses express appreciation by saying, "Thanks sew much!"?

Did that keep you in stitches?

How often does a fireplace chimney need a flue shot?

Anything I call work is fiction.
I cannot claim to do any IRL.

I have a strong urge
To munch. I'm on the verge...

I have a hunch
It is time for lunch.

*A Fine Day*

A rising sun
Portends some fun,
A day of play,
We'll jump and run.

More calm at noon
We'll enjoy a boon
Of picnic lunch
And hum a tune.

Later on, a chance,
We may jointly glance
And then wind up
Hugging in a dance.

noun plural noun insinuendos

Alec dropped so many lame insinuendos about Mark at the party that, by the end, everyone congratulated Mark for keeping so much of Alec's attention.

I was considering using this image for my profile picture, but...

it's really an amateur file, so it probably won't do.

Rewrite:

The problem with sharing things which are "tongue-in-cheek" is that people don't mind if my tongue is poked in my own cheek, but I've found they are a little reluctant to have my tongue in *their* cheek.
