This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but if a sentence starts with ‘per’ it’s usually a bummer.

given your interest in art, may i also recommend blacksmithing as a fun stress reliever. bonus it may give you some really critical skills and make you indispensable if things go even more to hell and society collapses.

Guys, big update on Portland today.
My best friend works downtown, can see the war ravaged Federal Building from her office. She was stopped by this violent mob on her way to get (really good) soup for lunch.

Troops are gonna be so bored, so damp & nobody will tell them where the good soup is.

It’s hard to believe, but Sea Otter Awareness Week is over… ‘til next year! Otters get their own week in September because they’re the real MVPs (Most Voracious Predators) of the kelp forest. As a keystone species, they maintain the balance of the ecosystem by eating! Learn more: mbayaq.co/3IPiaE5
