Things are darker and sadder here in Minneapolis this week and because my heart is pretty heavy (but we are safe), this will be one of those whirlwind type linkities.
- Toad Words.
- Discworld meets Harry Potter.
- God playing celestial DnD, Good Omens style.
- A simple way to improve the first line of any story.
- Linkity from Smart Bitches. Cover snark from Smart Bitches.
- A quote from Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut on the American poor.
- “You don’t always know who is high risk”. THIS. SO MUCH THIS.
- The first paragraph is GLORIOUS.
- BOOM.
- “The risks – know them – avoid them”.
- “How to safely travel on mass transit during coronavirus”.
- You can hardly tell this 102 years old. Or that this is 355 years old.
- This grocery store knows what’s up.
- …well, I guess!
- “The toxic intersection of racism and public space”.
- On gargoyles.
- Some cursed Tuatara facts.
- Some differences between birds with the same name on different continents.
- There’s something weirdly fascinating about these dresses made from butterfly-patterned fabrics.
- “Our cat is obsessed with blanket forts…” Another cat being cute and amusing.
- Minneapolis Sculpture Garden from above.
- Penguins in the forest.
- Some Australia humour.
- “…hand-knitted human-activated coral blanket”.
- NIGHTMARE GHOUL TREE.
- “Intensely chocolate” Black Forest cake.
- Spring linkity from bookwyrm-knits.
- COVID-19 (and more) linkity from kmkat. And more. Knitting linkity. Silly linkity.
“Sun warm. Basket comfortable. Life good.” -Mayhem
Mayhem turned 14 on Wednesday! 😮
My heart goes out to Minneapolis. So horrible.
But happy belated birthday to Mayhem! Looks like she’s enjoying her birthday week.
Oy. Nightmare ghoul tree is creepy!
I haven’t been able to process what’s going on in Minnesota yet. It’s horrible and unreal. It reminds me of the LA riots from ’92 and I just don’t understand how we as a society haven’t grown at all since then. Stay safe.
Those butterfly dresses are neat! I don’t think I would have the guts to wear one, though. They’d draw more attention than I’m comfortable with.
Thanks for the shout-out! And happy belated birthday to Miss May!
