what is the largest animal you are confident you could expel, singlehandedly, from a medium-size bookshop?
RULES:
- you have no resources beyond what is available in the shop
- you must remain more or less uninjured
- bookshop has 2 floors; animal is on ground floor, you can choose where you begin
Maybe a frog... (auto correct kept insisting I meant "dog", but no, definitely not). Although they can hop into small spaces I might not reach...
When Israel says their violence is done to protect all Jews and make the world safer for us, we can only look at incidents like this and see that is obviously not true. They’re making it more dangerous for us EVERYWHERE.
In a more just world the fact that a man with a loaded gun rammed his car into a synagogue and got out to shoot everyone before being taken down by security would *at the very least* be a trending topic On Here but y’all can’t seem to muster more then a few re-posts.
Having a crappy day at work, so I did the thing and became a Patreon supporter 😊

Impressive! I'm happy with my 0.0031. I definitely enjoyed the comments it gave, though 😅
Maybe not mint chocolate, but definitely a regular dark
I moved to Australia in August 2016. It wasn't fun for a while there, but it was very cool. I got to chat with my parents back home about this news article or that one, and we could figure out what was being suppressed in the US even back then🤦🏼♀️
There's a few big ones, like ACD and Universal (formerly Alliance), but direct ordering is often just fine (as long as the publisher does wholesale). Occasionally, the minimum order quantity or minimum cost for free shipping can be high.
If you don't already have puzzles, those could be fun, too!
We'll occasionally get those people, too, but probably a lot fewer than you because I work at a board game store, and I just have to wonder what's going on in their head. Like, they walk into a store that specifically sells one type of thing; why would they think there's no market for it? SMH
“We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.”
And now we’d like to present to you our multi-film gazillion dollar franchise on emotional regulation and feelings.
And, unfortunately (and something I'm sure you know better than I), scientists are much better at figuring out a changed surname than a changed first name, so publishing under your current surname, especially if your new surname is the double-barrel style, would be fine
I don't have first-hand experience, but my thought for myself was always to let my legal name be "distinct" from my author name. If you want to change your name and have the same surname as your partner, don't let worries about your author name stop you. Keep those two thoughts separate.
I think it's pretty telling, though, that one of those dudes didn't actually say "no".
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it
anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love
Evil Hat is so good! I mean, evil? But, like, the good kind of evil
My only question is are the claws out?
My cat uses her claws when bopping dogs (and sometimes her best frenemy as well), although she's learned which ones don't "need" to be bopped
A lot of obvious stuff in this poll (people want Dems to act with more conviction and stop tearing their ACLs trying to reach across the aisle), but the thing I learned is that Republicans are viewed as the elitist ones now! Run with that! Usain Bolt with that shit!

Dutch Bros employees surprised a shelter volunteer with enough pup cups for every dog in the shelter. 13/10 for all (TT: juliesaraceno2)
@sesmith.lol I just feel like you need to see this.
Especially watermelon.

Is that even a question? 😾
Okay I have the most insane story from the beer garden yesterday. We are open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and yesterday we were busy from minute one. It was finally starting to slow down a little at 6:00 when a big airport shuttle type van pulled in to our tiny parking area.
