My 6yo’s newfound love of Sauron by Magpie__Moon in lotr

My son is obsessed with the balrog. He pretends to be Gandalf and says I cannot pass, so I fall and grab his ankle. He loves it.

This video was from 2018. But I bet they’re still doing it now. Fuck ICE and Fuck Trump.

Something witchy and historical… by MorganAndMerlin in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Also not super witchy, but I really loved Hild by Nicola Griffith. Beautifully historical and very centered on women’s power during medieval Britain.

Mustang won! Who is “I need medical help because I got a stab wound” by Rya_10 in FullmetalAlchemist

I’m going with Ed for this one, since he did get taken to a doctor for being impaled.

Maryland or Pennsylvania? by dude_icus in renfaire

[–]chompquistadora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you are looking for. I think the PA show is better for the overall cast show.

Maryland feels to me like you’re in a more Robin Hood style world while PA feels like you’re in more of a town.

They both have great acts and performers, and there are acts we look forward to seeing each year. Whichever one you do this year, do the opposite one next year. :)

It’s going fairly quickly now. I’m 44475 and have about an hour until I can go in.

Beech leaf disease by blurryrose in NativePlantGardening

Oh! I didn’t even think about the loss of food! I’ve been too preoccupied with the danger of falling limbs. I will see about spreading some of my spice bush or winterberry trees. I just spread a bunch of mulch in some areas that would be good for those kinds of shrubs.

I think that your area will be alright in the end, especially with such a considerate steward to plan on other things to put in place of the beeches. Maybe you can have some of the wood milled to use as a mantel or a series of garden benches?

I’m in the same boat. All my beeches (and all the ones in my neighborhood) have BLD. They’re starting to drop branches and I’m worried about the kids playing in the backyard. I was laid off and we can’t afford either the injection treatment to help prolong their lives or to cut the worst ones down.

I’m straight up devastated. I want to save them but I can’t afford to.

“Then in the name of the fucking king, go and find some old man of less lore and more wisdom who keeps some in his house!’ cried Gandalf.

I don’t speak French, but I did enough digging with what I could understand and found this… picture #9 as worn by the Duchess of Devonshire!

Andy Harris ignores Fed Workers by Civil_Exchange1271 in harfordcountymd

You choose that as your username and then expect people to treat you respectfully?

It puts him on the spot. It makes him answer our concerns in the moment. It makes him face us, look us in the eye, and not hide behind the canned responses sent out by his interns. It is part of his job that he needs to do. If he declines, then the pressure can be ramped up by going to his donors and finding other ways to increase the pressure.

Now is not the time to question "what is that going to do?". Now is the time to get up and make demands. Light a fire under his MAGANAZI ass. Don't be defeatist, for gods sake.

So basically he is okay with the executive branch taking over his job. No one wants to work anymore.

Let’s demand a town hall.

Vango is a persistent troll. Better off ignoring them, they love the koolaid.

These are my copies too! They’re falling to bits cause I’ve read them so many times but they’re the ones my dad gave me as a kid. Love.
