New bookstore romance categories just dropped.

When Donald Trump dies, we should all party in the street.

The NeXTlevel was NeXT Software's first handheld device, eagerly awaited but canned just two weeks from release when Apple purchased NeXT and chose not to pursue gaming. All 250,000 release devices were pulled from channels and unceremoniously rolled into landfill out northwest of Dubbo.

I never imagined that one day I would have to cook for my children over a fire fueled by burning plastic after we ran out of cooking gas. Every meal has become a struggle, and every day brings a new hardship.
If you can support us or simply share our appeal, you may help my family survive this harsh reality. 🙏🇵🇸

The good discord clones are coming.

github.com/chattocorp/chatto looks interesting

These pretty Bellflowers have self-seeded in the garden, in unexpected places.
I guess I picked them up from a pile of discarded perennials in the bush (as I tend to do), and they may be an introduced species (Campanula persicifolia?), but I really like them.
