I just saw this. I hope things have got better.

Before we speak, we should let our words pass through three gates:

* Is it true?
* Is it kind?
* Is it necessary?

Our judgement of ‘is it necessary’ is especially important. It may override the other two. But the other two can override it. And that choice comes down to wisdom. 🙏

a sign with an M on it that is definitely Mario adjacent

an upside down m, also known as a "wario symbol"

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

I burst into the meeting room, gripping a printout in my trembling hands.

'Listen to this. "I work well as part of a team ... AND INDEPENDENTLY." Both! Do you hear me? He says he does both!'

My boss's jaw drops. She sits back, stunned. 'Then the legends are true.'

Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.

Teddy Roosevelt, 26th President of the US

This is so relevant today it’s unreal!

Things to remember this evening:

You are dust.
Kid’s world book day costume.
To dust you will return.
Bin day.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“lmao" said Gandalf, “well it has.”

I have two ears, one mouth and a head full of tv static ✨

This does not fix anything about the event they’re mocking, but Mike Meyers as Elon is absolutely *chef’s kiss* and my day is better for watching it.

May I say, after following (and laughing) at her comics for years (I even bought a comic from her and laugh at it every time I look at it), seeing @exocomics.bsky.social break out into doing full-on books is heart-warming. Also, it's an excellent all-ages book and you should go buy it.

@exocomics.bsky.social’s book Detective Beans is so good my son finished it and immediately started it again! Best kids book ever. We thoroughly recommend!

SO. GOOD.

I ordered my copy yesterday! My kids are gonna love it
