Not sure about the "architects of AI" being the TIME person of the year, but Indie booksellers, librarians, & library workers are def our winners.

They continue to fight book bans and support their communities by creating safe spaces, mutual aid drives, and opportunities for curiosity and escape 🩵

If you’re looking for proof that magical places still exist, I ask you to simply walk into your local library.

I miss when my kpop groups weren't sabotaged and ripped apart by their terrible companies 🥴
4 Years ago today, SF9 released their album "Rumination" with the Title Track "Trauma".

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in front of a crackling fire in a Scottish Highlands cottage during a raging snowstorm whilst enjoying a plate of chocolate croissants?

Correlation is not causation? Not with that attitude, it’s not.

found out very recently that navia got her geo vision because she attempted a sacrificial gambit in a d&d campaign and made it out alive. that is such a delight. it's the one thing in her backstory not thoroughly soaked in misery 💛

Sex is great but have you ever spent the night reading Agatha Christie in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying multiple cups of tea and freshly-baked scones in a Scottish Highlands cottage during a raging thunderstorm?

Remember, if someone has the audacity to claim that spending the weekend reading a mystery novel, drinking multiple cups of tea, and consuming an obscene amount of scones “doesn’t sound exciting”, then their idea of excitement is simply misguided.

Find joy where you can, show support for people on the margins where you can, and let’s help each other through, that is what I am saying.

I skipped all the coverage of the inauguration. I knew the ending already. Ruined the whole movie for me.

If you’re good at internet sleuthing and want to put your skills to work to help wildfire victims you can check for LA county rentals that have suddenly doubled in price, publicly name and shame the agents doing this, and report them to the government because it’s illegal: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)

The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.
