Well, Crap.  Raven Is A Great Comic With Lots Of Action, Drama, And Humor.  I Would Be Very Sad To

It breaks my heart that this is necessary.

If you publicly and unreservedly condemn the actions of Nazis in Charlottesville and elsewhere, including everything from quiet hate speech to vehicular terrorism, can you please reblog this post.

I think a few friends, a few followers, every Jew who happens across this post and my own heart could do with knowing that there are more of you out there than there are of them

I hope no one who follows my feed needs this, but better to have and not need than to need and not have.

Pay attention to what is being cut -- public radio and television, libraries and museums, education, research. Elon knows how to count; he's counting the benefits he can take away from the public.

Hereford Cathedral Library. The library was formally established in 1611, but the cathedral’s manuscript collection dates back to the medieval era. It is still a working library, and is notable for its collection of chained books (a common practice in the early modern era), and is the only library of this type to survive with all of the chains, rods and locks still intact. The chained library contains 229 manuscripts, mostly medieval, and the earliest book in the collection, the Hereford Gospels, is from around 780.

I can’t confirm that the promo code is still good (late-September 2019) because the signature box is currently out of stock.  However, the normal price is about $20 for 30 lunch/dinner servings, plus side dishes, breakfasts, and snacks.  Full Cart also has slightly larger and smaller options, which were in stock when I looked.

You can see what is included in each box at https://fullcart.org/get-started/.  Clicking through to “what’s inside” or “learn more” for each box lets you see the size of the packages included and their ingredients.

Please boost this!

This is totally a feature!  We should exploit the coat hangers out of it.  

Does anyone know if it works the same for different flavors of English?  If a group of people from the US, Canada, Britain, and Australia are all absolutely coat hangered, are they all in the same condition, or are some of them drunk, some of them shocked, and some of them just confused?

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

I read Marine Biology when I first saw an ad for The Summage Solution.  I greatly enjoy the Parasol Protectorate series and many of its spin-off, but I wanted to try the shorter story before getting the full-length novel.  I tore through Marine Biology and eagerly went to buy The Summage Solution, only to realize that it hadn’t been released yet.[sniff]  In addition to the Delicate Sensibilities Warning, I would add that this series may be addictive.

Rejoice, Gail fans! Secret Project SAS is finally revealed!

The Sumage Solution is Miss Gail’s first self published novel and is continuation of Gail’s short story Marine Biology. It is first book in her San Andreas Shifters series and will drop July 18, 2017. Just in time for Comic Con! The Sumage Solution stands alone but if you want a taste of the Universe and understand why the pack moved to San Francisco, Marine Biology is a good way to find all that out.

Blurb:

Can a gentle werewolf heal the heart of a smart-mouthed mage? NYT bestseller Gail Carriger, writing as G. L. Carriger, presents an offbeat gay romance in which a sexy werewolf with a white knight complex meets a bad boy mage with an attitude problem. Sparks (and other things) fly. Max fails everything - magic, relationships, life. So he works for DURPS (the DMV for supernatural creatures) as a sumage, cleaning up other mages’ messes. The job sucks and he’s in no mood to cope with redneck biker werewolves. Unfortunately, there’s something oddly appealing about the huge, muscled Beta visiting his office for processing. Bryan AKA Biff (yeah, he knows) is gay but he’s not out. There’s a good chance Max might be reason enough to leave the closet, if he can only get the man to go on a date. Everyone knows werewolves hate mages, but Bryan is determined to prove everyone wrong, even the mage in question.

The Summage Solution 

is available for preorder for Kindle on Amazon, and links to preorders for pdf, mobi, epub, iBooks are available on Gail’s website.

Marine Biology

is also available RIGHT NOW for a whopping $0.99 USD on Amazon, and through a litany of other publishing ways ( pdf, mobi, epub, iBooks) through Gail’s website. Marine Biology was originally published in The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance 2, a collection of paranormal romance short stories.

DELICATE SENSIBILITIES WARNING!!!! 

This story contains M/M sexitimes and horrible puns. If you get offended easily, then you probably will. The San Andreas Shifter stories contain blue language, dirty deeds, and outright admiration for the San Francisco Bay Area. Not for the faint of heart (mouth/tongue/etc.).
