Sweaty palms, shaky knees, #livid complexion. Just stage fright. Breathe. Don't look at the #eviscerated bodies of the other comedians. She has a tight ten; she just has to make ole Joe Black laugh.
He sharpens his scythe. But she sharpens her wit, harvests a giggle from the crowd. She'll live to laugh another day.

Only a metre of ribbon
Stretched out in the next yard
Inch worms on each centimetre
Measuring the spinning yarn
Persephone protected by Demeter
Kept from the evil litres theatre
Culture divide so vivid
Still no call to be #livid

It makes me livid, the news of the world, said the fox-girl. The world is on fire. Even the water is burning.
All the nests and sparrows, the bobcat said. And where have the blue birds gone?

Where does your heart go now, Commissioner Monahan? What exactly has changed in the last year when it comes to Saudi Arabia and human rights?

Unsurprisingly, the 9/11 families were furious at the merger, pointing to the bill of goods they had been served by Monahan and the PGA. They had been used as pawns, and on Tuesday, the scales dropped from their eyes. #LIVid https://nordot.app/1039454727252558328

Players on the LIV Golf tour expressed frustration Friday over the hazards on the course at the Royal Greens Golf and Country Club, where they were reportedly forced to putt around a woman being beheaded. #LIVid #golf https://www.theonion.com/liv-golfers-on-saudi-course-forced-to-putt-around-woman-1849642918

LIV Golf is backed by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, which is controlled by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudi leader has been accused of trying to cover up his government’s human rights violations by investing in sports organizations around the world. #LIVid #PGAtour https://www.huffpost.com/entry/golf-pga-liv-merger-congress_n_647f6dd2e4b0047ed783e44b

Mr Short was absolutely #livid. Productivity was one thing, but to be shown up in such a way by junior staff! So an excel function could do in thirty seconds what took him six hours, so what? There was only one option — kill everyone who had witnessed this witchcraft.

Love like a crowd
Bodies closing in
#Lust like the sea
#Livid, unforgiving
Fear like your fingers
Clammy skin touching
Pain like the sky
Bright, never-ending

He gets home, sees livid bruises blooming by her eye, around her throat, circling her wrists. There’s a burning in his guts, ash in his mouth. He wants to set the world on fire.
“I wish you’d let me take care of it,” he says. His hands smolder, charring the cuffs of his jacket.
She smiles. This is not the first time. “We’d both be dead if you tried.”

Well, I guess you can imagine how I must have felt when she told me she was accused of train robbery. "I'm shocked," I said. "You robbed a train?"

"No," she said. "I didn't rob the train. They're accusing me of stealing the train. Like, the whole train. Just because I blocked the level crossing with my car."

"Are you mad?" I asked.

"Mad?" she said. "I'm livid!"

"Why is there an angry dragon in the pantry?"

"It was on the shopping list. Dragon, #livid."

"Liver! I said dragon liver!"

"Oops. Looks like it fried all our food."

A life in living colour
Lived in vivid hues
Of strife, and hope, and happiness
Shy smiles & #livid bruise
For life deals blows & violence
& ray of golden sun
Don't bear your pain in silence
Tomorrow's just begun

At the purr of Jezzika's sports car, I set out the dishes for the dinner I'd prepared.
She stormed in, obviously #livid about something.
I drew out her chair, invited her to sit, poured a glass of burgundy, & cut a slice of roast beef. Then I served myself & took my seat.
She ate silently & then kind of woke up.
"Oh, Marcus," she said. "I'm so sorry. You cooked this nice meal & I'm not appreciating it at all."
I smiled. "It's our 6-month anniversary. Mary is 'visiting friends' again."

@cranky_david Investors deserve it if you ask me. The sooner banks/people recognize #ElonMusk for the grifter he is the better we as a civilization will be. What burns me up is him making false promises and taking us in the wrong direction with federal subsidies that help line his own pocket and we as a race are none the better. #Livid #SpaceKaren

Plot twist: the toxic person also turned out to be viral and brought Covid to the Jakarta office, coughing and splatting WITHOUT A MASK ON! Mask wearing still mandatory indoors in Jakarta. And some of us didn’t have the luxury of a 2nd booster shot! Well, thanks… we’re both only immuno-compromised and don’t know what this virus will do to us in the long run🤦🏻‍♀️ #livid #COVID19 #wearyourmask
