Gonna need you all to put me in more starter packs. All the Irish Culture Geniuses or Hot Literature Guys packs aren't getting these numbers up. Starting today I want in on everything; Korean Biochemists, Gen Z Quantity Surveyors Formula 1 Grandmas. There's no limit. Put me in.

Grace, you’re here! The cover is gorgeous and I’ll preorder today.

Star Wars/Star Trek crossover!

When I and Howard Zinn before me talk about the unexpected, we're mostly talking about things like the fall of the Berlin Wall or 9/11 or the Zapatista uprising. But we can now add to that list INFOWARS SOLD TO CORPORATE OVERLORDS OF THE ONION.

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

For the new folks.

I'm old and have bad eyes and I need alt text to read your images. There is a flag you can set in your settings that will remind you to use alt text in your images.

Please use it.

Midnights Taylor dice box in a red wig and phantom of the opera mask. The screen reads, would it surprise you to learn I was once considered quite beautiful. Yes, this is my job.

So I sold this Taylor Swift Midnights inspired dice box the other day, but wanted to take a moment to commemorate the journey Midnights Taylor took on my TikTok page. I’ll be honest, 85% of my TT are mundane this is what I’m working on videos. But that other 15% is gold baby.

Never been more proud of @theonion.com than today. When politicians fail to act, it falls to the artists. There’s no better owner for InfoWars than the world’s greatest satirical media outlet. This is so perfect.

I'm in.

This is the energy we all need.

These are actually excellent socks. I'm jealous.

You and Orwell give me heart. Thank you.

Now now. It isn't like Graham Nash didn't pay for his sins later when Joni Mitchell dumped him (in a song--do I remember that right?)

Delving into the complexities of Bus Stop and its ilk keeps us sane in the midst of nightmarish turmoil.

Bus Stop hits differently for me — I was 16 when it came out, a magical age for soaking up pop music.

Guy in suit and tie sort of being sealed by a bunch of bricks w calculating Buddhas all around. Says incompleteness& his ailments Gödel

Gödel: Fool! Starter Packs are extremely powerful during expansion periods and turmoil.

Me: We’re safe as it’s not clear I even understand what I meant as just up from a nap. Can delete later.

One criticism of this place early on was that it was anti-black. One thing you can do to help fight that is in starter packs. I know I have gotten quite a few follows from people adding me to starter packs and I really appreciate it! But if you are making one, please include the black and brown (1)

It’s as good as he keeps saying. Better even.

You'll look great. I freaked out about clothes the time I went, but ended up forgetting about it once I was there, in the middle of all that excitement about BOOKS.

Yes. Absolutely yes.

Any politician who wants to successfully advance their career should look at him and just do the opposite.

Oh f**k. Not in my state, Moulton.

Unfortunately for me, I’m usually that friend from high school. Nobody for me to ask. 😂

Yum

Yup, she’s got that Pre-Raphaelite neck.

Three different sycamore dice boxes. All have a silhouette of someone standing in smokey shadow two of them are looking ominous the third a figure is holding up a blazing sword against the darkness

Got three silhouette ttrpg dice boxes coming to my shop this weekend. I think they will be stained a dark brown when all is said and done.
