I'm going to start a new political party. It's called Shut The Fuck Up and Feed People.

"But what if they're on drugs?"

Shut The Fuck Up And Feed People

"Or not really THAT poor?"

My 3yo turns into Ta Ka from Moana when he's even the slightest bit sick.

As someone who works in a small rural library (not in FL), this is devastating. Small towns cannot fully fund libraries on tax dollars alone, and rely on grants and services like ILL to maintain a fresh and relevant collection for our patrons.

Obligatory post of this list for people to block these scumbag criminals.

Wow I hate this epilogue and now I have to scrap the whole thing lol

Damp air and cold stone. No wonder Snape was a miserable bastard. Rumor is he refused to stay in the staff quarters. There is no sunlight in the dungeons. Draco stokes the fire and relishes the smoky smell that lingers in his cloaks. Keeps the room too warm.

Man, it's been a while since I've been genuinely depressed, but here we are.

It's Thursday, September 25. Have you downloaded enough stories? Are you SURE?
