A redditor described the Star Wars EU as "a universe to think in," and YES. That. I want to create a universe for people to think in, write fanfic in, and ENJOY.

I do not like causing people problems. I flinch every time someone I'm with complains to customer service. Therefore, having my kid's therapist cancel on him so many times in a row that I need to leave a message for her supervisor is my hell. Please stop making my life harder, I'm begging you. 😭

The Lord of Ruthven Hall

Near my office, there's a little man-made pond - the kind you see in office parks with fountains in them. Right now there is a guy out there with an ice house and an auger. Only in New England. 🤦‍♀️

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · Jan 27

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

We need a nationwide “Read More Books” promotional campaign. Celebrity endorsements, Wishbone-style shows, Muppet movies. Kids need to know that reading is cool and fun. The reason millennials read so much is because we were bombarded with pro-book content from a young age.
