Xibella Laying on her back in the dirt, in a garden outside a united government body's research building, half a plane away from a home she never knew.

Preparing to venture off plane.

Clutching a broken bone of someone she held as they died and wondering, "was i ever whole?"

I'm still thinking about casting auguary last night and Xibella asking her ancestors if she is broken.

Drawing the first bone she touches from the bag.

Something soft and worn on one side, and splintered and destroyed on the other.

Weal and woe.

I also died at this. I love the messenger kid telling her to dress up.

Tyranny and Wicander Halovar from Critical Role are dressed like Team Rocket from Pokemon; except instead of an R on their tops it says CC. In bubble letters above them it says β€˜ever bright, ever right!’
In the bottom right corner there is a panel with Teor Pridesire’s face. There is a coin on his forehead, like on a Meowth. 
It says around him, β€œMeowth. That ain’t right”

RE: Food bank donations. Cash is by far the best thing you can give. Don't bother buying a bunch of stuff to donate, the food bank can buy much more for less.
HOWEVER If you clean your pantry and find a bunch of unexpired food that you know you won't use, donate them.

unfuck google drive by shooting gemini
Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again!
Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever?
Open your gdrive (web OR app)
Settings > Manage Apps
Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push)
Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.
