Earth was getting further away and I had no food. Would I starve to death? I was so weak.
I was alone out here, the only person within thousands of miles of emptiness.
At least I had enough air.
Maybe if I closed my eyes it would all be over when I woke up.

Ash is worried about careers. It's a big decision for anyone but with juggling a band and raising money in the school's fundraiser, it's easy to become overwhelmed. Add in younger brother Benjy starting at the same school and things can slip through the gaps… #MG #C #PosterPit #PosterPitQ

Adding -ai to a Google search removes most of those.

Depending on your browser you can likely also configure it to add this automatically - I'm doing it with Firefox and it makes a huge difference!

I hope it's alright to do this (and I'll happily remove if not) but Photoshop's a hobby of mine and it's a really nice photo!

First day of school:
Make a friend (how?)
Write an essay (boring)
Learn an instrument (easy!)
Start a trade war (huh?)
Teach the teacher (what?)
Choose a career (?!?!)

Next #1stLinePit: 2025-04-05 (April fifth)

Time: TBA, but the US West Coast will have a VERY bright and early start, while East Coasters get a slightly lazier morning. Europeans start around noon, and Australians begin late in the evening.

The event will run for 24 hours.
