Also; 'Under capitalism, man exploits man'.

Stop again with 'battle'
Stop again with 'fight'

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

You might not have put up your decorations yet… but if you know you have some to clear out, do it now!!!!
and take them to the charity shop because there’s a good chance someone will buy them& lessen the need for the charity shop to store them for a year

More generally, wherever you are in the world: if you have kids’ toys, books, clothes or anything else in just-about-giftable condition that you were thinking of decluttering some time soon, please do it now, this week ideally, and get them to your local charity shop.
Hey Ottawa folks: I gave some kids' books to Twice Upon a Time and they said they've receved fewer donations than usual for this time of year. So if you have any kids' books in good condition, or time or money to spare, here's the info:

So fed up with a 'limited series' being hastily rewritten after it's picked up for a second series. Just finished something resolvable only to find a massive, HUGE fucking cliffhanger that was obviously tacked on. Second series was never made.
