"Charlotte's Web" is a story about a tiny and nearly invisible creature using the only skills she has to protect a friend and neighbor who's about to be butchered to make the farmer some money, and he returns the favor by caring for her children. Just in case you needed the reminder.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

It really has been. Mixed horror, disgust, anger, and some tiny bit of relief that THESE fuckers at least may experience SOME consequences, if not anywhere near what they deserve.
Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

Less than 48 hours after my workplace (a small clinic) put out the call for donations to the food bank, the neighborhood has risen to the need.

In case you needed a moment of human positivity.

Look what just landed on my phone via the kindle app. 😀. Anymore I read a lot of cozy fantasy as opposed to grim dark fantasy. Our real world is too grim and dark. Need to escape it.
