Another day, another sexy cake. This time, it’s a Snickers cake. Rich, nutty, and absolutely irresistible. Who needs icing when you’ve got caramel and chocolate doing all the work?

Oh I agree…
The ultimate battle: cake vs. cuteness. Do you betray your heart or your taste buds? The struggle is real!

Clubs and bars are out. Let's open a late night Bookstore where you can silently mingle, drink tea, and read into all hours of the night.

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally.

Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared."

Lake County library leaders expect to see more challenged books

A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, according to the American Library Association. Challenges lead to censorship.

Recently visited The Cartoon Museum in London. We were lucky enough to see the first-ever cartoon - Cartoon No. 1: Substance & Shadow by John Leech, published in Punch back in 1843.
From political sketches to classic British comics, there’s so much history and creativity packed into one space.
