"You want to interview me about my profession?" Winny asked the little girl at the door.
The girl nodded. "School assignment. Please?"
Winny cackled. She was happy to talk about her craft, after all, and she invited the little girl in.
The questions were simple, and the little girl wrote as quickly as she could in spidery pencil.
"Why did you become a witch?"
"Because I wanted to cackle when I laughed, not snort," Winny said. "That and I have strong magic."
"Oh!" The little girl grinned. "I snort when I laugh..."
"Well how's your magic?"

This is unprecedented. Brown University strikes a deal with its students to end their peaceful protest & encampment, in exchange for a formal divestment vote from Israeli interests. And no student will be punished for protesting. This is democracy at work.

"The swarm is coming, the swarm is coming!" Nasi cried as he ran down the main street toward the town lord's mansion.
People quickly closed their windows and then rushed out to the street to make sure everything was ready. Shops shooed out their customers and locked up.
If Nasi said it was time, it was time.
Behind the town lord's mansion, fields of flowers were in full bloom, grown specially every year.
And every year Nasi waited to spot the great clouds of butterflies heading toward the town to make sure everyone could fully enjoy them.
"We found it!"
Garrett looked from the shallow stream that ran crystal clear through the deepest part of the old forest to his horse, Tari, and smiled wide.
"We really found it!"
Tari didn't seem quite as excited, but Garrett didn't mind. They'd been searching for the stream for years and finally, it was in front of them.
Quickly, Garrett grabbed for a pack, one that was filled with empty vials and quickly he filled them.
And only then did he look again at Tari and then at the stream.
"Well, we found it. We should also make sure it works."

Trying to resist the temptation to say “I’m behind on everything” because it implies there was a chance I could have completed the work in the time available.
And I couldn’t have.
The work is the work and it’ll get done when it gets done. Putting a bunch of pressure on myself to do the impossible isn’t helpful.
