So it's 1994 and I'm 11 and I'm making an AOL username and I want to do a Star Trek character but can't. So my mom goes, "why don't you try unforth?" and it works and I go "what's that?" and she says "the male dwarf I played in D&D in the 70s" and here I am 30 years later.

Reminder to anyone who needs it today: Reading books (at home, on the bus, in Starbucks); owning books; loving books; discussing books. None of these things are “performative” unless you’re selling tickets.

A lot of “airdrops of aid” resumed reporting going on this evening.
Very little of it referencing the fact that (A) Aid agencies and the UN say it’s the least effective way of getting it in in the quantity needed
and (B) how dangerous it is for people on the ground.
Poor.

The latest child to starve to death in Gaza weighed less than when she was born
On a sunny street in shattered Gaza, the bundle containing Zainab Abu Halib represented the latest death from starvation after 21 months of war.

Israel is the most depraved regime on earth.
Lying day after day and starving an entire population to death. A few miles away, Israeli kids eat fast food.
Many children can no longer even walk due to dizziness and weakness from famine.
Supported by Western governments, it's unforgivable.

As the gushing tributes pour in, rememver that the Catholic Church still owes its Irish victims millions for the sexual, physical and psychological abuse and torture they suffered at the hands of its clergy, and neither Francis nor any other pope has ever done anything to help them.

If you can't give up your wizard books, whatever, but don't call yourself an ally.
We've been screaming this from the rooftops for years. "I didn't know" doesn't cut it anymore and "separation of art from artist" never did.

A Ghee Bag. This would be like a spice bag but instead of chicken, deep fried ochra and indian spices.
I think this would work better as an Indian/Irish fusion foodtruck. Ive thought of one menu item, the Onion Bhajaysus.
An Indian restaurant called, The Delhi Counter.

People get so perplexed when they find out you don't drink, like they can't fathom that you can have just as much fun at the weekend WITHOUT alcohol, at home alone in your underwear eating Nutella from a jar while being yelled at by middle-aged men named Dave on the internet

If you're getting flowers for your sweetie for St. Valentine's Day, please #shoplocal if you can, independent florists bring so much to a community, they're there for us through all the milestones, big and small
Stopped to look in the window with out-of-town guests, shop was closed but we were ushered inside, warmly welcomed, and while we were exclaiming over the beauty, colour and scent of the pre-Valentine's Day flowers, Yang deftly created this gorgeous, generous wee gift for a delighted birthday girl💛
