Well, the first site I tried was a no go. My google website doesn't have the right kind of url. So went to im-a-puzzle.com instead and uploaded a pic. Much easier. I just spent over an hour playing my own puzzle 😁

Playing with making puzzles online. Thought I'd use this pic of Lala Land and my mom and me from my community to play with first. It needs a url with a .jpg or .png ending. Says social media posts will work. We shall see 🤔

Meet Quilla Puddlefoot, the #QuietPower gnome guide for the scavenger hunt game I'm working on. Art is still not my strong suit 🤣 The poor turtle's black eyes bled all over his face.

This was helpful to read. I was feeling pretty doomed yesterday. I know there's still plenty of reasons to feel doomed but it's good to see some reasons for optimism

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest

“Stop resisting”
“He’s not resisting”

First born is a weird way to put that one. It's like all the first borns are coming together to plague us. Is Trump a first born 🤔

Imagine a world in which we could see job ads saying “we’re looking for someone calm, reliable, who knows how to remain focused” rather than “dynamic, sociable, love working with groups of people”

Cartoon image featuring 5 smiling sheet-covered ghost figures standing in front of 5 tombstones labeled "failure" and "fiesta," with a lit candle and flowers on top of each. 3 additional smiling ghosts peek out from flowers. The scene is set on a vibrant orange ground with patches of green grass, while a contrasting purple backdrop fills the sky above the top 3 tombstones.
