Proposing by having a waiter hide the engagement ring in the dessert is for cowards. Put the ring on the conveyor belt in a sushi restaurant and let the Gods determine your bride.

It's 1086, & you're a fisherman in the English town of Wisbech. Every Lent you have to pay rent to your various monastic landlords. And they want eels.

Each year you & your friends owe:

15,500 eels --> Ely
5,000 --> Bury St. Edmunds
5,260 --> Ramsey
4,000 --> Crowland
and more!

Did you know incoming attorney general Pam Bondi was part of the infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping presser, which, apart from being hilarious, was to declare the PA election rigged and stolen? I did not.

Pam Bondi’s road from Four Seasons Total Landscaping to AG pick should alarm America
She's not a sex fiend like Gaetz, but Trump's second pick for AG is arguably more capable of carrying out his autocratic revenge agenda.

The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th”

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️

The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!

Today's #Nudivember species is Cadlinella subornatissima, a relatively uncommon nudibranch found in Japan, South Korea and southeast Asia. It's rarely found, despite being bright white and yellow.
