I still dream about the breakfast burritos we would order when I was in high school. Two decades later and no breakfast burrito I've tried since has come close; some have been very good but still not it. La Estacion in Galveston ruined all others for me.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group
And I almost forgot that I got to start my weekend off playing The Devil's Dandy Dogs by @shannagermain.bsky.social , with @thatterigirl.bsky.social at the helm and @bearthw.bsky.social as a fellow player. It was recorded and I will share once it's available online! The game is just delightful.
A meme that shows ICE agents' faces and says Can someone build a database that cross-references the faces of ICE agents with dating apps so that they never get laid again. AND: Is it worth calling it ICE Guys Finish Last
Someone should do this, pretty please.
Had a lovely birthday weekend: ate wonderful cake made by my husband, saw good friends, and indulged in a little shopping. I needed the recharge, I was running on fumes.
I grabbed a few new books, both fiction and non, and I really hope I can do some reading now that I have a few more spoons.

I can't believe I'm saying this and it's not a meme, but polls close at 7 in Illinois, so if you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE. You can register TODAY with a piece of business mail and vote TODAY. Every vote counts.
It's a sunnier, nicer day out than we all thought it would be! Get out there!
Just a reminder: don’t pinch your coworkers. Even if they’re not wearing green. There is no St. Patrick’s Day affirmative defense to harassment or assault.
This has been a PSA from your friendly neighborhood employment lawyer.
Got out and voted. Special shout-out to @dylanthomasblaha.bsky.social , I hope that you inspire more of our generation to run for office. It was a much needed breath of fresh air to vote for you today! Best of luck with the primary, and thank you for running.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow, fellow Illinoisans! (If you didn't early vote, that is)
And it's still going, you can still help us unlock more solo play! (Not a euphemism)
A lot of the recent hate for anime dubs is suspicious especially considering that the quality of dubs have gotten much better. I'm suspecting a lot of the hate now has to do with the inclusion of more diverse voice actors. Representation is so important in spaces like these.

I had a female Cyndaquil in Crystal. I miss that game so much, it was stolen years ago along with my lime green GBC and the Zelda Oracles games. Some day, I'd like to replace them all. My husband gifted me a lime green GBC and Gold version for our anniversary, I think last year?

You're a creative and work for a company that specializes in the fantastical and weird but Central Time is where you draw the line?

And this is if you're lucky enough to get any response, it seems like the majority of the time you just never hear anything back from applications at all.
Generally speaking all pre-orders are equal. Publishers note where the preorders are coming from, but mostly for their own information. That said, remember you can also pre-order books at your local bookstores! It's not just an online thing. Pre-ordering locally helps the bookstore and the author!

Illustration of a small fluffy black cat lying flat on a soft pink and purple ground under a purple sky. The cat has very large round eyes and a tiny white nose dot, looking calmly toward the viewer. Above the cat, the text reads: “It’s okay to step away and give yourself a little space to breathe.” 🐈⬛
Read Banned Books, says the little kitty. 📚 ❤️ 🐈
Three adventurers clad in robes stand before a creature of tentacles. Its giant mouth is yawned open, wide, teeth barred, ready to swallow the humanoid who stands before it. The scene is bathed in purple and orange light, with glowing blue emanating from the creature's mouth and one of the adventurer's weapons.

I thought it might be fun to start a thread about our current campaign - what creatures and spirits and characters will likely be appearing in the book, who some of our writers are besides yours truly, etc.

Hello everybody. My name is Olivia, I am the social media coordinator for MCG, and I have made a very silly, embarrassing mistake.
Our team has been busy getting ready for GAMA (among some personal issues that have left the Kansas crew a bit scattered), and (1/5)

Much love to you all, thank you for the clarification. Hope all is well (or soon will be) in the Kansas camp. ❤️
BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
