That's like literally next door! Neat!

Black and white portrait of Franz Kafka turned sideways with a jarringly green speech bubble with a "graphic design is my passion" horizontal black gradient, making it look like it pops out of the screen. The words on the bubble are "Read Just As Real or I'll turn you into a bug!" His intense stare makes you not doubt that he has that power.

SIDEWAYS ARITHMETIC FROM WAYSIDE SCHOOL x FRANZ KAFKA

If you just read one book about a girl trapped in a world where people watch movies about lint, it should be this one.

Who knew a slightly disguised trauma dump could be so funny?

Y'all so creative in unhinged pit today. I'm over here like: that's a great idea, that's an amazing idea, how do you come up with them?!

A collection of memes: "They are not 'gay little fingerless gloves. They are my normal sized fingerless gloves of undisclosed sexuality." "God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers and I'm dodging the draft." "Are you mad that the villain identified me as the most impactful party member to mind control?" "'Kill them with kindness' wrong. Crow attack" with a lot of crow emoji. "Friends with benefits implies the existence of friends with consequences. Oh there are definitely friends with consequences." "idk who has to hear this today but sometimes the devil doesn't need an advocate. Sometimes the devil is already winning." "This is actually like my third or fourth rodeo so I sort of get it but sort of don't. In some ways worse than my first rodeo cause I feel like I should be better at it by now." The conspiracy theory board meme from Always Sunny in Philadelphia with the caption "A girl having the time of her life." *Pounds a monster at 9pm* why can't I ever sleep at night? WAIT I MEANT THE DRINK LIKE I'M - what a post to post on the monsterfucker website. Pure gold." "Any regrets about causing the apocalypse? Look I already addressed that in my apology video, okay? Move ON!" Scattered in the white space is clip art of: a crow; sparkle emoji; a stack of coins; blueberries; a potion bottle; a full moon; a wolf; a steaming tea mug; an ID card; a vampire holding a glass of wine; playing cards; an open notebook; and a stack of books.

A 5-grid image with a portion of a TV episode script and photographs of: a rocky shoreline at low tide; library shelves; a cove with anchored boats; and bleachers and a sports field. Script text reads: INT. HOPKINS HOUSE - GWEN'S BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING We begin on a close-up of a tarot card: The Devil. As we pull back, we see that it's one of a few cards FLOATING six inches off the floor, wavering gently as if suspended in a breeze. GWEN (16, extroverted Bella Swan, witch) sits on the floor with her legs crossed and her back against her bed. The remainder of the tarot deck is in her hands. An open journal sits in her lap. She frowns at the floating cards--they're not supposed to do this. There's a knock at the closed bedroom door, and the cards immediately stop swaying. DAN (O.S.) Gwen, are you--? GWEN (interrupting) Don't open that! As if responding to her panic, the cards FLY at the door and embed themselves into the wood like throwing stars. Gwen groans and slumps against the side of her bed.

I've spent 7 years taking all the elements I like from Twilight-era paranormal YA and putting it in a blender to make a fake TV series 😜

fun fact: I have no idea how to publish this project because it's not a book OR a proper TV show pitch ... 🤷‍♀️

Retrograde Parturition in Cursed Premier Males: A Double Blind Placebo Controlled Study Uldir Divinity TG, Gintris Deity GoW, et al. Abstract: Here we report the novel reverse action of a god curse resulting in the ceasing of a male romantic lead. We propose that a well-placed female romantic lead with a pen may be able to successfully reverse the rversal provided said male is persuraded to provide adequate curse dissolution instructions. Subjects: One healthy male person 33 years of age with handsome face, firm abs, and broody countenance. One healthy, intellectually superior female person, age dependent on Act and Chapter. One ridiculously mustached rival male to serve as placebo group. Materials and Methods: Male lead was flung backwards through time in a randomized manner excepting location, which was established by the presence of female lead. Data was collected through observation and analyzed according to standards of Divine Curses and Prophecies (DCP). Results: Available in Act 3, Chapter 37.

A missing poster taped to a tree trunk. It reads: Missing. Please call the police if you have any new information, and try to remember not to trust her narrative. It might not all be true. Maddie Howard, best known for her award-winning album, Rose Garden, is looking for her mossing sanity. It went missing when reports of Dylan Coleman resurfaced after eight years since his initial disappearance. The singer was just starting her first-ever stadium tour when her sanity was last seen.

Have you seen Maddie Howard’s sanity?

Things you should know about me: I’m tired and short on patience. I’ll probably ignore you more than I listen That’s not even me in the picture (but pretend it is)

I’m not going to tell you, but I might lead you in circles just to see what you do. That’s not even me in the picture (but pretend it is)

A five star review for a sunflower bandana at PetSmart, which was unfortunately a little small but still good quality, writes Aveline of Nov Voronova. Her cat Arkady preferred the tuna churu they included for free, though! Five stars.

Looks like kohl_a doesn't exactly have an original opinion on the Lord of the Rings movies in this Letterboxd review - although he does suggest taking a goshawk instead of an eagle! And we agree - it is a cool movie, and Pippin is the best. Five stars.

From the sounds of this Amazon review, we mush have a very experienced twitcher on our hands. Matthias Hill from the Free Cities (wherever that is) has some suggested additions for the next edition of All The Birds Of The World, namely the greater birds of prey. Still, four stars isn't bad!

Judging by this comment from YouTube, it sounds like @Reet__16 has Christine McVie's Songbird on repeat. Who can blame her?

Wait, how did these four get internet access?

Appalling illustration created by taking a Super Why! hero image and superimposing clip art sloppily. The head of a white unicorn with pink hair and a rainbow horn somewhat replaces Why's head, and the Super Why! logo (a book with the appropriate title) has mostly been covered by a dull gray bathtub with steam rising. The word FUFULU is written in sickly green in a forceful looking comic book font on top of the bathtub. The background is blue with some kind of unidentifiable white splashy swirly thing that was original to the image.

Fufulu The Happy Unicorn can genetically manipulate organisms with the power to bathe. That has nothing to do with JUST AS REAL, which is a story about a girl trapped in an alternate reality a lot more boring than that one.
