It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Age verification? I wrote Inuyasha fanfiction on Quizilla 😅
Age verification? My youtube account is older than the google takeover.
Age verification? The internet button on the first mobile phone I had was forbidden in a scary way. Touching it was never ever allowed! (Otherwise it would be very expensive, or smth.)

Did the narrative in the ending to The Blue Prince make anyone else cry??? I feel like it stands out beautifully in our current times.
I've just been thinking of it a lot lately. I had to transcribe it.

TENDER IS THE FLESH+ THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS
As a wild human, Rachel’s flesh is considered a delicacy. Captured & sold at market, her fate now rests on her ability to convince her not quite human buyer that she is worth more alive than on his dinner plate🥩🍽️ #A #Q #SF #H #SP📖 #BluePit

Toad hoarders, teleporting cat colonies, and exotic reptile conventions are just a Tuesday in "Heidi's house of Rescued Familiars," but when Heidi vows to rescue a familiar from the richest wizard in Louisiana, her little nonprofit is in for a rescue unlike any other.

Advice for querying agents: Remember you are trying something really hard, so give yourself grace. Typically, agents get thousands of queries in a year. It is a rough industry, so know the value of your manuscript is not the value of you.

Heidi loves animals! She can't pick a favorite, but she's obsessed with them and has an encyclopedic brain about them. While she isn't a witch, her passion for animals is her magic (though she struggles with ornithophobia).

In "Heidi's House of Rescued Familiars," Heidi's afraid of being found out. She's a rogue ex-familiar and should've had her memories wiped when her witch died, but the magic community is all she knows and she doesn't want to be separated.
