Wonderful game! Everyone should buy it! 💕📚

This is gorgeous, and as an added bonus, is extremely @tkingfisher.com coded!

Learning in school is not enough. You must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. Study history, read myths, memorize poems, get acquainted with the greatest philosophers & writers. In an age when tech is cooking many brains, we need an army of autodidacts.

Remember, you are not alone.
Your community is out there.
Find them in quiet bookstores & noisy cafes.
Find them shambling in mossy forests.
Find them haunting crumbling castles on the coast, under the dim light of stars.

dismantling the centre till it cannot hold: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

when the blood-dimmed tide is loosed: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Witch library and also explosion at the YARN store! One can never have too many books. Or too much yarn.

another reminder to Canadians and our friends in the USA that most of our easily accessible "news" sources are corporate entities that probably answer either to the guy who owns The National Enquirer or Rupert Murdoch

Please take the time to seek out independent journalists who haven't given up

This is so beautiful. <3

It’s so gentle and beautiful. Even though I spend a lot of time grumbling about flawed recommendation refusals. I’m an English prof, dammit! 😂

@tinybookshopgame.com is helping me hang onto what is left of my sanity and I am so grateful to the dev team for this lovely little surprise! 🩷

Oh come on, who could resist such a cheesy pun. :P

Happened to me once when I was coming home from Amsterdam. What ELSE was I going to have in my bag?! 😂 A Gouda time was had by all.

This is absolutely my retirement plan.

Should I be a kind person?
Should I help my community?
Should I learn dark magic from dusty books in secret libraries?
Should I wear a tiara of ancient goblin bones and a raven on my shoulder to the market to buy cheese and wine?
The answer is always yes.

Do not fear the night.
You and your tattered slippers, weary bones, blurry vision, and deep desire for cheese snacks belong to the darkness.

Oh god, here we go.

Aaaaah I have been checking in multiple times a day every day and I am SO HAPPY that he's back! They're both okay! Yayyyyyy!

7. At all of the shelters visited in the middle of the night, ProBAR staff witnessed children who had been pulled out of their beds. They were confused and scared. At Hands of Healing Los Fresnos, one young girl was extremely distraught, crying and repeatedly saying that she could not go back to Guatemala. At New Hope McAllen, one young girl was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician. At Urban Strategies Alamo, one young teenager was scared that he might end up murdered like one of his family members. At Compass Connection in Harlingen, an attorney was able to meet with only one child. None of these children’s parents in their home country had requested their return. ProBAR’s client and named Plaintiff ARMD was at Compass Connection, but he was transported to a plane without notifying me as his attorney of record.

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation.

Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

These words did something to me/ for me.

I'm not crying, you are!

It's a lovely little game! Made me so happy. :)

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

The emerging Republican position is that women should not be free to vote, to report so-called “sexual assault,” or to say things like “dear isn’t that your fourth, you’re driving.”

I have not missed a day in ACNH since… March 19, 2020. No regrets. :) That game saved my sanity, and even though I only play ten minutes a day now, it’s still my peaceful little daily ritual.
