Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

I just don't know how to break it to my current foster pup that she's apparently so undesirable the agency has marked her 75% off...🥲

I got my Archon Studios Kickstarter today, and I have to say this article was spot on. The quality for the price is REALLY impressive. Definitely a time saver for people looking to set up some pre-made 3d terrain.

I think this D&D terrain was painted with Polish space magic
Archon Studios’ PrismaCast, a proprietary new painting technology, is like nothing we’ve seen before

Eat this, clean that, do taxes, go to work… my life sure has a lot of decidedly not cool Warhammer stuff for someone who was clearly designed to do nothing but paint cool Warhammer stuff…

Glad that those who have never had the pleasure will get a chance to experience the soul-crushing boredom of a military parade too.
The military spend crazy money on recruiting. If parades were actually cool you know they'd roll tanks down the main street of every town at least once a year.

On the three-year anniversary of the verdict in Depp v. Heard, I wrote about realizing the terrible truth that she was, in fact, the victim—and seeing the DARVO playbook weaponized against endless women online and in the courts ever since.

Somebody put a frybread truck right next to the newly opened dispensary, and boy if that isn't the perfect combo. Happy for all the stoners (positive) out there who are about to try frybread for the first time and wonder how they made it this far in life without it.

Love having ADHD. I’ve been at work for an hour, have started seven different tasks, and not a single one of them is a priority.
But I am definitely going to figure who keeps leaving dirty dishes in the office sink. So I guess there’s that…

Yes puppy, thank you for waking me up to let me know that the turkeys who live across the street, STILL LIVE THERE!!! Just like they did yesterday, just like they did the day before that, and so on...
I understand that they are still there, and I am glad you got me out of bed for that.

This absolutely magnificent starling is trying to impress a date right outside my window, but the lady is not having it.
Well I see you king. Keep that beak up. You’ll find somebody who loves you for you.

I've wanted to make this video for 2 years. "Escalation Theory" is a piece I wrote for the RC ages ago when I was challenged with the question, "how would I improve commander?"
And I couldn't answer that question without a measure of how games are affected through action.

Shout out to my parents for showing me enough love and affection to ensure that when I felt bad about myself, I went to therapy instead of manufacturing a once in a generation global financial crisis to teach the penguins of McDonald Island a lesson.
