Sunday Sweetspot

As usual, I forgot to do the #SaturdayShoutout so, instead, I've decided to have a mooch around and do the #SundaySweetspot. This post will feature some of the interesting posts I've read today.
Here goes:

In Honor of Earth Day, The First Nation's Story of Mother Earth & Help Support an Artist Today! by @Eaglespirit

This beautifully delivers the Native American story of how the spirits came together with the creatures to help give Mother Earth her fertility. A wonderful creation story.

Memoirs of a fallen Sith – Narrative triumph over truth by @soo.chong163

This is an ongoing series featuring conversations between a wily Confucian advisor to the Emperor during the ancient Chinese Han dynasty. Although set thousands of years ago, these witty conversations are relevant to today's political and social climate. I love how this series casts light on the political machinations of those that would control us, and how they do it! Brilliant series.

Easter Iceland Continues by @eonwarped

This is Part 2 of Eon's recent trip to Iceland featuring his traumatic driving skills, overpriced food, architecture and art.

Awaken... What does it mean to be awake? by @dwinblood

This is a really good exploration of the condition of being woke. It discusses various aspects of wokeness in an interesting and easy-to-read format.

Eye spy, A story in 50 words by @deirdyweirdy

This is a delightfully quick and creepy read. The controversy in the debate is fun. Spiders or stalkers? You decide. :D

After 2 months on Steemit I finally used my first flag by @conradt

Join in the controversy. To flag or not to flag. This is a good place for newbies to look for some of the issues involved with flagging. Get involved in the comments to learn more about the whys and wherefores.

The Fiber Ramble – April 20 by @fiberartists

This is a wonderful place to find all the most recent and relevant posts on art and creativity using fibres. A brilliant springboard for finding content relating to crochet, knitting, needlework, hooking, stringart and everything fibre-related. Great community for arty-crafty types. Love it!

Hooray For 1000 Followers, My Actions Concerning CPS, and New Grumpycat News by @Snowpea

This celebrates Snowpea's first 1K followers but features the devastating betrayal of her family by her own mother and the steps she's having to take to avoid problems with the Child Protective Services (aka Child Pinching Sneaks). Please go and show her some love.

Karaoke Contest by killerwhale and sponsored by #thealliance's @enginewitty

Awesome and fun contest for anybody who's vocally talented. Great way to meet other Steemians and have fun. This terrifies me beyond words. So many talented singers on Steemit. I may have to get drunk and submit an entry. Maybe I'd get the sympathy vote :P

That was my Sunday Morning read.

Enjoy!
