Don't let the calendar trap you, or the circular cycle of the moon define you.
Break free of time and create your own rhythms based on the creeping fog of the moors, the crumbling of ancient castles, and dark powers that dwell in the catacombs.

SCREAMING at these headlines calling Heated Rivalry a YA series.
📢 Adapted from the hugely popular YA book series, Heated Rivalry balances in-you-face sex scenes with a tale of sweet romance.
I don’t like ice hockey or romance, but this very steamy gay sports drama is great fun

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...
Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder
Painted figures haunt an empty building. A boy leaning on a pair of crutches. A father and son wandering a barren railroad track. A nuclear family at a picnic table. These poignant scenes were painted...

"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

Most economists agree that by age 50, you should:
- own at least one magic sword
- get advice from an enchanted bear skull
- be covered by a thin layer of moss & lichen
- disappear into a malevolent fog once a month
- become a creature of myth & legend in the old forest

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life
