I enjoy how I can traumatize my friends by posting a picture of a middle-aged English guy wearing glasses finding a rose fastened to his front door.

Beautiful day in NYC and the bookshop door is OPEN

Every single video she makes about lead on this popular brand of “premium” glass baby bottle gets swarmed with paid bots (from the company) commenting “it’s not a big deal”…

“Now, Grammarly has finally addressed the backlash — but not by apologizing, and not by walking the feature back. For now, it will graciously give us the chance to opt-out of something we didn’t know it was doing to begin with.”

A passage from Rilla of Ingleside: "Susan was very sorrowful when she saw the beautiful old lawn of Ingleside ploughed up that spring and planted with potatoes. Yet she made no protest, even when her beloved peony bed was sacrificed. But when the Government passed the Daylight Saving law Susan balked. There was a Higher Power than the Union Government, to which Susan owed allegiance. "Do you think it right to meddle with the arrangements of the Almighty?" she demanded indignantly of the doctor. The doctor, quite unmoved, responded that the law must be observed, and the Ingleside clocks were moved on accordingly. But the doctor had no power over Susan's little alarm. "I bought that with my own money, Mrs. Dr. dear," she said firmly, "and it shall go on God's time and not Borden's time." Susan got up and went to bed by "God's time," and regulated her own goings and comings by it. She served the meals, under protest, by Borden's time, and she had to go to church by it, which was the crowning injury. But she said her prayers by her own clock, and fed the hens by it; so that there was always a furtive triumph in her eye when she looked at the doctor. She had got the better of him by so much at least."

Every time change Monday, I yearn for "God's time not Borden's time"

Skyla's books are full of female rage and found family and are just magical! If you need something to read that's supernatural horror, thriller, urban fantasy, or mystery, she has you covered! I truly cannot say enough good things about her books.

My favorite Bob Kane story:

Hmmm, I was going to suggest re-publishing it directly on Kobo, who also distributes to Overdrive (which may not solve the problem). Kobo's customer service is a lot better (in my experience, anyhow). This whole situation sucks, I'm sorry you're having to put up with this baloney.

Are you direct with overdrive?

Re-upping for the morning crowd (because I posted this quite late yesterday):

Overdue remainder of March's rent is due tomorrow (when grace period ends). Couple of options for helping in RPed thread.

(It's mostly hiring me for something while I catch up on existing work.)

In the heat of the harsh desert—expressed through the yellows of a warm palette—a man and woman take refuge as a pair of dragons with wings flared claw and snarl at each other. The Dragon Prince extends one arm against rust colored rock for support. While his features are chiseled and his expression stoic, the set of his eyes reflect thoughts turned inward. His free hand grips his sword held low as the princess, with eyes pressed shut, leans close in a moment of vulnerability as they've just escaped from a harrowing experience.

The scene captures a moment of harrowing escape through the desert. 1/3

I don't know how to explain this but Casablanca is a movie for adults.

There are lots of movies built on an element of fantasy about being young or brave or defying the odds.

Casablanca is not that. Everyone in that movie has back pain and they have all just accepted it.

As of today, confirmed that the two invoiced payments I'm waiting on will arrive too late to cover remaining overdue March rent ($500 CAD, due by/on 03/07 - the end of my rent's grace period).
