The Merrimack River Is Like 10ft Over Its Banks

I forgot to add multiple just put something else

One last talent show to save the rec center

Ok everybody here's the deal.

My science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist (you might know her, creator of the squid facts hotline and matcher of classrooms + scientists) has secured absolutely no grants to support general operations for 2025. But! We're selling advent calendars to fund our program! They absolutely rule. They can save our nonprofit asses. If we sell 5000, which I realize, is so many, we can fund our program for 2025. Then I can offer a bunch of programming for free. Running a nonprofit is a weird job.

Every day, counting down to frankly whatever you want (it's usually Christmas, but man, maybe you want to count down to Halloween, that's fine by me) scratch off the sparkly sparkly iridescence and reveal a fact about frogs! We have 24 top-notch frog facts here.

You should get one for every kid in your life, then get one for all the adults who still let themselves access joy in critters.

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.

That is an INSANE pattern respect

Ya'll I finally finished the cardigan! I'm so happy with how it came out I could literally cry!!!

All is right with the world

People are forgetting to get gifts. I keep forgetting it's Christmas. I dreamed that it snowed and all was right with the world. Where is my winter weather? Are my brand new snowboots for nothing at all? Do the sno-brums that are perpetually in my parents' cars and at every store mean nothing? Why can I see grass? Are the sleds waiting so patiently in the basement just meaningless hunks of plastic?

Where is MY December??? 😭

Hey fun fact people care about you

I'm a very calm person and there's not much a reasonable person could say to offend or even shake me, which is something I like about myself

but I feel like because of my sunny disposition I've been robbed of the opportunity to run out of a room crying dramatically about something someone said

Justice League Headcanons: Comfort Food

Clark: Freshly baked apple pie with whipped cream and cinnamon on top. He has a huge sweet tooth and it reminds him of home.

Bruce: A "Cheesemeister Deluxe" from Big Belly Burger. It was Jason's go-to any time they got food on patrol, and despite their laundry list of differences having it makes Bruce feel a little closer to him. Especially when he's alone.

Diana: Pistachio and coffee ice cream mixed together. Sometimes she'll bring extra to share during Justice League meetings. Mostly for Bruce, since he's the only one who will it eat it with her.

Barry: Two deep dish pizzas with grilled chicken, philly steak, mushrooms, and jalapenos. Iris nags him about how greasy it is, but he still gets it every once in a while because he needs the extra calories.

GL Hal: Hot wings from the bar he and Carol went to the first time they got drinks together. They're always too crispy for his taste, but the homemade hot sauce is to die for.

J'onn: A vanilla milkshake with tons of crushed Chocos in and on it. But if that's not an option, chocolate mousse cake works in a pinch.

Arthur: Spam musubi with heaps of fried breadfruit and 'otai on the side. Unfortunately, it's rare that he can get all three at once.

Kara: Everyone thinks it's pizza and potstickers and she doesn't correct them. But really it's dragon fruit frozen yogurt. It's the closest thing Earth has to what used to be her favorite snack on Krypton, and the only thing that works when she's lonely.

Mari: Goat vindaloo for a meal, as spicy as anyone can make it. If she can speak while eating it, it's not hot enough. For dessert, a double-wrapped crepe with strawberries, bananas, walnuts, and chocolate sauce.

Tatsu: Cold soba in the spring and summer and hot soba in autumn and winter. She only gets it a few times a year to make sure she never gets tired of it.

GL John: Dry-rub smoked ribs from his favorite mom-and-pop joint back in Detroit. Then a slice of sweet potato pie for dessert.

Oliver: His League-famous chili, if he has the time to make it. But if not, Paula's dumplings are second to none and he makes sure to thank her for giving him the recipe every time he and Artemis visit her.

Dinah: Garlic cheese fries, made from scratch. She makes it for special occasions celebrated at home, or when Ollie's gone on a mission without her and she needs the pick-me-up.

Zatanna: Stuffed chicken breast with gnocchi in alfredo sauce. She used to help her father make it when she was little. It seems selfish, but after he died she refuses to make it for anyone else, and so only ever cooks it when she's alone.
