Tweeting better stories, episode seven: June 2021

Wanting to find a lighter-hearted way I offer readers this seventh post in a series.

At 6.02am on 9 June I saw this strange drawing!



At 9.37am on 25 June I saw this web page from a magazine I used to write for.



At 8.11am on 27 June I saw this:


Fantasy

At 8.08pm on 30 June the following appeared:

At 1.34pm on 28 June I saw this item (poor man!):


Health

At 3.40am on 25 June I saw this French tweet. It says that people who stutter have a third small brain tied to their spleen. “This evolutionary advantage allows them to survive at least three days after decapitation.” Fishy!


At 6.59pm on 27 June I saw this piece of self-reflection (I assume she’s being sarcastic and is not, in actual fact, insane):


At 4.42pm on 29 June I saw this reflection on mortality:
