Is it just me, the history addict who thinks about history 24/7, or does this slogan remind you of something from the past as well?

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

The first draft of my personal statement for my M.A. application is done! A little polishing (and making sure I'm under the 500 word limit), and it should be good to go. Then I can submit my application and hold my breath 😁

Hey πŸ’™πŸ“š! I'm looking for a gift for a colleague--gen Z, grew up with HP but is now conflicted because of the author's awfulness, former English teacher.

Anybody have a pretty special edition available? She's mainly a fantasy reader, but digs classic lit too.

I can tell I've gotten to the point in my WIP where I hate it lol. I cut the grass, mulched leaves, planted plants that have been waiting since June, & powerwashed the garage so I can paint it.

Oh, and I'm also considering writing a children's book about Bo and his emotional support football 😁

The cover of the spicy historical romance "Waiting for a Scot Like You" by Eva Leigh. The cover shows a jacked Scottish man with most of his shirt off as he grips the back of the neck of a woman with streaks of gray in her hair. She's wearing a pink dress, and the couple is standing a distance from a manor house at sunset.

That one time when a 40+ y.o. widow went on a road trip with a younger, gruff Scottish soldier and it turned out he was a Dom...

I'm sorry I keep asking for help, but I literally have nowhere else to turn. I am doing my best to get back on my feet, both literally & metaphorically, but that will be exponentially harder if I lose my apartment. I desperately need $482 for rent & enough utilities to avoid shut off. Please.
