Sham Hatwitch from Dragon Quest XI

Shout-out to the Sham Hatwitch

3 panel comic. Panel 1: waitress watching TV at a diner, a news story that says “FOUR DEAD. DEVELOPING STORY” the news anchor says “please be advised, the murderer is still at large.” Panel 2: the anchor says “here’s their photo.” It shows a picture of a guinea pig in a propeller hat. Panel 3: the waitress watches the TV pensively. Seated at the bar is a guinea pig in a propeller hat, their face obscured slightly by shadow. They have on their plate an entire head of lettuce

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

a pelican with their mouth open, and two fish are above to fall into their pouch, but one is above another and may take a path out

the pelicans mouth is closed, and there's a fish out

the pelican looks at the camera, miffed, the fish is far away from its head at this point

the pelican opens its beak and tries to go for it, but i can report back it failed, the fish was long gone

FINALLY GOT IT!

I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.

Over 20,000 the past month alone.

Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"

In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:

Fish success story.

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

MORNINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

I am LOVING the new Animorphs covers. They keep the spirit of the originals but add a whole new level of organic flow/dynamic motion.

There was no tv show like Gaaaalavaaant!

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around!

1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video"
2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

Well, I liked killing time with Merriam Webster's crossword puzzle game but "Phoebe" for "a Greek moon goddess often portrayed as a virgin huntress"

Psst

While you're clipping along doing your reading challenge on goodreads or kindle or wherever - check to see if your Local Library has an adult summer reading program. I found out ours just started on Fri & signed up on my lunch today.

Proof of library engagement is pretty crucial right now.

First meetings

Smut!
Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can't shut
If it's uncut
And unsubt-

Is It Ethical to Buy Used Books and Music?

Gonna go out on a limb here @nytimes.com and say the main problem facing authors isn't used bookstores but the massive AI platforms you publish apologia for every day

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

At first I went "Boris?" and then I looked again and went "never mind, I see it."
