a hydra has that many heads because each is connected to a different stomach, seven in all, to digest plants, animals, air, gems, noble gases, emotions, vacuum
Easier to deploy than full-size megalith henges, gem necklaces may be used as microlith circles, and will in fact sometimes send even unaware wearers to faerie if they cross the wrong leyline
A witch knocks at your door, inquiring about unusual occurrences near your home, the local elves seem to have opened a portal to dreamtime judging by their smuggling activity↵↵You refrain from telling her about the gems and unseasonal twigs you’ve been finding in your bed
Life hack: for your ‘best articles of the year’ list, just post all the articles that had the least traffic. People are gonna disagree with your ranking anyway so just flatten that curve. Finding gems in that dross is inevitable.
What’s the point of year-end roundups of the most popular articles, or sales for bestsellers? They’ve already won. Better is a year-end round-up of hidden gems – stuff that didn’t do as well as expected.

entropy mold has gotten into the vault and the gems are rotting into colorful sand, emitting a peculiar sharp-edged and dusty stench
the world slows down, every twitch of a muscle becomes deliberate, every grain of sand is a gem, the wind teases with numerous soft touches
The nest is cushioned with all manners of gems: a great treasure but jealously protected by the mother who has eviscerated many a miner.
You find the gem in a thrift shop. It has extra dimensions, rarely shows the same side twice. Against the sun, you can barely count them.
One has to decompose one’s mind into its constituents, place them in the writing in a careful arrangement of mirrors, lenses and gems.
Why?
While visiting South today I found, once again, this quote that I like so much:
The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this, ‘What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?’ and my answer must at once be, ‘It is no use.’ We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron. We shall not find a single foot of earth that can be planted with crops to raise food. It’s no use. So, if you cannot understand that there … ⌘ Read more
