Happy #WorldBookDay!
Go buy a book, any book. Not from Amazon, go buy a book from a proper bookstore. Take it home, read it, love it. Flick the pages. Sniff them. Put it on your shelf, by your bed, add it to your TBR. Curl up in a chair with it, and enjoy a cup of #tea.
Books are amazing.

Why did The KLF burn £1,000,000 of their own money? We talked to author John Higgs about how the band's interest in Discordianism and the philosophy of Robert Anton Wilson may have informed their strange career and infamous money-burning.

Let this Oompa Loompa be an inspiration for us all to just try to get through it with kindness even though our reality is constructed by assholes and actively falling apart.
Other photos were located showing she really was just doing what she could with what she had:

I wasn't going to brag but I've survived 2 days of having to give ear drops to a cat. If I make it past day 5 without having to go to A&E, I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket!

Today has been mainly about contemplating a change in job after 2 years and not getting lost in the woods.

Sadly, that monochrome ship has sailed.
I wrote a long deep-dive into the history of Ello, from its launch and funding to its quiet sale and sudden death last year, noticed only by the community of artists and writers who used and loved it. waxy.org/2024/01/the-...
The Quiet Death of Ello's Big Dreams - Waxy.org
Ello launched in 2014 with big dreams, but the artsy social network suddenly shut down last year, deleting nine years of posts without warning. What happened?
