Once again reminding people that indie authors are almost always down to hand out review copies.
There's no reason to pirate their books.

My (older, married) sister in laws beefing over -
1) whether or not a pie should be pre-sliced or left for guests to choose their size piece (the "who cut my pie?!" incident)
2) what counts as breakfast protein. Apple pancake has 9 eggs in the recipe, but one SIL wanted non-sugar protein for kids

I hope everyone can remember your art is more than the numbers it gets. The internet is not as kind to art as it was a decade ago. I hope everyone can keep creating even if it's just for themselves.

Wynnifred - Life is hurt or be hurt, conquer or be conquered, even in a gilded cage. Why not steal the key?
Marzanna - Survive & choose which is more vital: freedom or obsession.
Gwendoline - Self-sabotage doesn't mean no one else gets hurt. You can also betray yourself.

There has been at least one extensive study regarding whether or not bumblebees engage in play, and the answer is yes. Especially with balls.

In A Turn of the Wheel the village celebrates the wheel of the year events (such as imbolc or beltane) as they occur with feasting, games, etc to honor the old gods of the enchanted orchard/the faerykind. They added their version of events for betrothal rituals since engagements usually run 1 year.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff
