The main series, anyway. I have at least four sidequels and a novella to read.

A poetry collection cover, featuring a woman wearing a red cloak and matching lipstick, her face obscured, her lands lifted up. There is smoke between them. The title, in an elegant gold font, is Offerings for Ordinary Gods. The author's name, Ali Trotta, is in a matching font at the bottom.

Since it is Friday, I am once again reminding you that I am running for CA Assembly District 72, and that my solemn pledge not to use any campaign funds to eat excessive amounts of tortellinis remains in effect.

These are personal tortellinis.

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I think "missing" in that case only means "we're going to check if they called in sick or went out for pizza and all the people who knew aren't in a position to say so." :/

Friends, some advice if you plan on spending time outside in an animal costume, sharing for no particular reason:

-You will sweat a lot more than you think. Have water/snacks

-You cannot move well (the Left Shark guy is a trained experienced professional dancer). Don’t run or you’ll trip and fall.

I suspect so. Both of them turned up again today; the calico's still more skittish, the orange ate two Churus out of my hand, including licking my hand when I started running out of Churu, and looked into the doorway like it wanted to come in.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
