mechanics that aren't green that might work, like some of the goblin or possibly even sliver mechanics, but they don't make sense in the color scheme. AS you say, "create a 1/1 squirrel token", "give all squirrel tokens +1/+1" and I'd add "do damage equal to the number of squirrels in play"

It has to be green with Squirrel tokens, right?

The library asks that if you believe that the Rapture is imminent to please return your library materials before you are taken.

Story time on Tuesday and Thursday mornings 9am, everyday at 5pm.

Just seen the script for Disneyโ€™s Andor remaster:

Cassian gazes up at the enormous face of Palpatine. Two gin-scented tears trickle down the sides of his nose. But itโ€™s all right, everything is all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved the Galactic Empire.

Evera is a friend from high school. You should support her Patreon because she makes colorful art and because I said to. Also I do make most of the patron hang outs and so you also get to talk to me. Huzzah!

I liked a number of those. They were silly but fun. Batman as the pirate "Leatherwing", Superman in the American Revolution, Lobo in the American west...

forgot to put in alt text: picture is of a book cover, the book is D'aulaires book of Greek myths, and the cover features a chariot drawn by white horses with a god riding in it through the sky.

Pretty sure this was my first exposure to Greek myth.

That said, I haven't given it deep thought and am perfectly willing to admit I could be wrong.

If its the situation I think, the information isn't about what library material the are asking for, or what they are researching, its a question about access to the library. I still wouldn't share it, because the person is harmless, but I'm not sure the request is in and of itself private.

Oh, this one seems fun. Ten writers by whom I've read more than 5 books:

Jim Butcher
Seanan McGuire
Patricia Briggs
C.S. Lewis
George Orwell (which is weird, he only wrote 8)
Anne McCafferty
Anne Rice
James S.A. Corey
Rick Riordin
Peter David

(Yes, its mostly urban fantasy. I have a type.)

A summary from Tristan Kern de Gonzales about the death of his husband, Jonathan Joss.

A summary from Tristan Kern de Gonzales about the death of his husband, Jonathan Joss.

All the early reporting I saw about the murder of Jonathan Joss (an actor) implied it was an argument with a neighbor. I mean, it was, in the same way that the explosion of Krakatoa was "a bit of noise." More information:

Rising popularity, cost of e-books forces some Colorado libraries to limit access The boom in e-book popularity is accompanied by a rise in cost, forcing some Colorado libraries to limit who can access their highly sought-after digital collections.

Its a widespread problem and I'm sure the rest of librarian bluesky has already posted about it, but meh. Just so you're aware: www.denverpost.com/2025/05/25/d...

You don't dehumanize someone because you think that they are less than human. You do it to convince yourself you can treat them inhumanely.

The library will come out and say it: We are NOT Satanists.

The weak ass "dark lord" couldn't handle our s**t. If there's a hell, it's this pit of despair, computers, and books we call a library.

Call down the thunder by coming for us, motherf**kers. Miss Rachel ain't got s**t on us.

9 of the most venomous spiders in the world live in Australia. I used to think that meant out in the outback. Then I heard of the Sydney Funnelweb Spider, which lives in, unsurprisingly, Sydney. And my desire to visit Sydney went way down.

Not my favorite iteration of the X-men, but definitely an iconic team and look to do for Iconix.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her familyโ€™s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings โ€“ even though they were โ€ฆ

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Bezos killed the Postโ€™s Kamala endorsement and caved on tariffs as soon as Trump commented. Imagine being that rich and still being such a sniveling coward.
