Watching the episode of 30 Rock where Jack says “Lemon, it’s Wednesday” really does hit different on an actual Wednesday.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.
Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Writing novels is very hard, and everyone who finishes writing one deserves praise and accolades purely for that accomplishment.
Tell me your most life-affirming literary opinion.

Is acting like a goblin in the privacy of your own home a universal thing. Like is everyone manically pacing, muttering along to the pretend argument you're having in your head, occasionally shouting "Laissez les bon temps rouler" in a Cajun accent, etc? We all go goblin mode at home, right?

What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!
