NOT FOREVER. BUT PERHAPS FOR LONG ENOUGH."

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

"'You wrote everything down, Crispin?' he said. 'Why?'

Crispin looked appalled.

'Got to keep records, Reacher,' he said. 'Can't cover y' tracks if you don't know where y'left 'em. Then... can put it all back, see, hardly a crime at all.'"

Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures

"‘You’re my own flesh and blood,’ said Dibbler, shaking his head. ‘How can you do this to me?’

‘Because I’m your own flesh and blood,’ said Soll.

Dibbler brightened. Of course, when you looked at it like that, it didn’t seem so bad."

So, I'm missing some work due to this back problem. I'm going to have to go to urgent care to make sure I don't get fired, and I can barely stand. Gonna need to Lyft both ways and come up with $25 for copay. If you can help, I really appreciate it

Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Dracula turns into a bat to avoid detection or for selfish personal travel purposes, whereas I would turn into a bat to pollinate local plants and help balance our precious ecosystem. Just one of several ways that I am morally superior to Dracula.

Even on my regular antidepressant, I still felt unresolved symptoms of depression. So I asked my doctor about adding Cadbury Mini Eggs.

To build Canada strong, we will protect our sovereignty and our way of life.

Budget 2025 invests more than $80 billion over the next five years to rearm the Canadian Armed Forces — and to build thriving defence industries and new career opportunities across Canada.

I've spent the last five years working on a book about grief, mourning, who is allowed to grieve and how, and where we go from here, and...

you can now preorder it!

Of course this rarely happens but its extra delightful when it does. My usual flight path from wpeg to Toronto goes over isle royal(thanks Nevada barr) and then any map of Maine, nb or ns has grand manan lurking in the corner

I love when you are looking at a map (or put of a plane window) and something catches your eye and so you take a better look and you recognize it and its like "eyyyyyyy I know what that is"
