Here's to being an Ageless Changeling!
Sorry, it's been so many years since I made it I can't remember where I got the other two signatures. (Dr. Carter's I made up, and I found The Doctor's online elsewhere)
I am literally in this photo and I'm cackling. This is from my desk at work. Yes, I made it. Yes, the seal is gold.
I've been using the phrase, "Open roads, kind fires" lately as a parting to coworkers because: I'm a nerd, and I like the saying from the October Daye series. But I encountered another phrase by the author in a different series I need to lift.
"My gods above, below, and slightly to the side..."

TIL that Tylenol, Band-Aids, and other consumer health products that used to be made by Johnson & Johnson are no longer J&J products. The company spun off their consumer health division in 2022 as a stand-alone company, Kenvue.

My Sunday morning... can you guess where I was?
I now want to get a group of 12 friends together to go to the Savoy for a meal.
It's bad luck to dine in a party of 13: superstition says that the first person in such a party to get up will suffer grave misfortune. The Savoy in London has a special service for such parties: Kaspar the cat. The black cat statue is placed at the table of such parties, bringing the party to 14.
I've been thinking that if I were a fae in the October Daye universe, I'd want to be a Tuatha de Dannan. Then I stumbled upon this meme and now I'm not so sure...
I'm really disappointed that the Fallout: New Vegas 15th Anniversary Edition isn't a remaster. C'mon, Bethesda & Obsidian, everyone wants it and it would be a license to print money!
A burn this bad is going to land someone on a watch list.

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." (28/28)
"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions." (27/n)
