“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

You know you've found your work bestie when you're talking about perfumery fun facts and you start talking about beavers, and he, without losing a beat, says, "Oh, castoreum?"

Things I say to Salem a lot lately:

"Could you please stop?"
"That is not for you."
"Pssh! NO!"
"Don't eat that."
"NO biting."
"Wires are not for kitties."
"What--are--oh no."
"No, that's my skin."

Kittens are the most chaotic joy.

Curious thing I have noted in my tenure in corporate America:

A not insignificant proportion of people who forcibly claim to be “type A and super organized” are in fact, not.

I bought golden retriever and kitten Christmas wrapping paper.

I don't even like wrapping presents.

But how could I not?

My favorite part of the winter holiday season isn't the days themselves.

It's leading up to it. The way the houses in my neighborhood light up, more and more every day. The baking. The festive feeling in the air. How people we love are on our minds.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

Also the Daily Salem Dispatch is a big goober. A study in her silly expressions while she’s on my lap.

Just. Y'know. In case you were wondering about such things.

Fashion: not just a frivolity, but a component of worldbuilding that can communicate so much about your world's resources, industry, and power structures, as well as characters' individual choices and...

The Daily Salem Dispatch is giving me lots of chirpy kisses.

Also, I’m in stripes, too.

Stred Reviews: @premeemohamed.com's 'The Butcher of the Forest' is a portal dark fantasy story that is equals parts nostalgia & vibrantly fresh. This one had me captivated from start to finish! I hope one day we return to the woods!

Jess bringing the realness.
Oh, hey--new (to me) nightmare fuel!

344-292 million years ago in N. America and Europe there was a millipede genus, Arthropleura, that could grow up to 2.5m/8ft long and appropriately wide.

An eight-foot-long millipede. (They found one recently in Northumberland that's estimated at 9 ft long).
