Modern LED lightbulbs come in varieties like "natural light" and "sunlight" but in my experience they are mostly delivering what I call "Severance light"

Frog puts a winter cap onto a very bundled-up Toad. From "Down the Hill" In *Frog and Toad All Year*

“Help!” cried Toad. “My best friend is trying to kill me!”

“I’m only getting you ready for winter,” said Frog.

23! 😊

one of the cute things about my kitty is that she cannot and will not tolerate her paws being touched, not even by me

but if she likes you, she will lie down next to you and squish her paws on your arm or whatever part of you is nearest, and in this way you have been Chosen😭❤️

Scotland has passed a law that all new buildings must install ‘swift bricks’ which are hollowed out bricks to help nesting swifts and other endangered birds! Swifts are especially endangered because so many chimneys now have chimney caps. Swifts return to the same nesting spot year after year.

Since Gollum instead tried to answer it and couldn’t, it counts as a loss. He wouldn't eat Bilbo if Gaius were young and silly enough to do such a thing.

Gaius does enjoy playing "what's in my pocket" as a game to pass the time, especially with children. Their answers are so very silly.

Aww, thank you! 😊 Gaius would agree with many scholars that Bilbo asked a *question* and not a true riddle, but he would also take Gollum to task for not making absolutely sure that "what's in my pocket" was an established riddle and also Bilbo's actual contribution to the contest.

It's not your intention that your brain is lapsing into old habits that used to protect you. (also: SAME BOAT, FRIEND) From over here, there is so, so much hatred and ugliness and selfishness going on right now--your empathy is a rare jewel in a time of scarcity. 🫂

a graphic for Wherever the Stars Call. The main focus is the two leads, Laurel and Juniper, as they stand back to back looking skyward against a backdrop of stars. The short description of the book beside them reads: Sometimes, you have to go on a space adventure with your BFF in a stolen cruiser, befriend a revenge seeking vampire on the way, and become an absolute problem for the federation... That's what best friends do, right?" Below the text is a small graphic of the book in paperback form and in ebook form on a small phone. Below that is a URL where to find your copy: books.earlronove.com/whereverthestarscall

When I wrote WHEREVER THE STARS CALL, my main focus was the friendship between Laurel & Juniper. At the time, it felt like there wasn't enough friendship stories, & I wanted to change that.

But now they're in a bundle with a bunch of friendship stories! 🚀 37 books for $35!
