Deep in dark caverns, at the heart of forgotten barrows, atop empty mesas, the ancient spirits abide. They all guard the same treasure. "I apologise for intruding," I say as I settle down in the cave, "but I just had to get away from everything." /same/ the cave whispers. #MicroFiction

I know you're busy governing a city, and kinda the rest of the world, but how come you didn't notice the 16 year-old girl you arrested for being part of your arch-enemy's supervillian group has the same first name as his 6 year-old niece who disappeared ten years ago?

Over the course of 15 months and with 62 Lakota speakers involved, The Avengers has been dubbed fully into Lakota by the original cast: reactormag.com/the-avengers...

The Avengers Cast Reassembles to Dub Film in Lakota Language - Reactorreactormag.com Working with The Lakota Language Reclamation Project, the actors came together once more for a very important cause.

I guess it's safe to assume Patterson actually did the writing on this one.

When I checked a few days ago, tomorrow's weather wasn't supposed to be that unpleasant. Not looking forward to my doctor's appointment tomorrow. Okay, more the shopping trip that inevitably happens when I go to the doctor.

A squire rushed in to the great hall. "Someone," he shouted, "has taken the sword from the stone!" The assembled knights halted their dinner. "At last, a king?" "Who?" "I don't know," the squire said. "The sword is gone!" Elsewhere: "This," Indy muttered, "belongs in a museum. #MicroFiction

Crossbows were very popular among the Finns, used to hunt squirrels. They had blunt headed bolts so as not to damage the pelt. “Squirrel furs were used as currency. We have stopped because it is hard to get them out of the ATM,” she adds, deadpan.

Well, that explains everything

Flavor is flat, kind of really weak hot chocolate. Marshmallows dissolve, So no texture contrast. Nothing that says Graham in the flavor profile. Edible but not a repeat.

Review pending

Yeehaw! Happy explosions and cookout day!

Happy 4th of July to our friends at home in the US. In the words of Woody Guthrie: In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/This_...

That quote was actually relevant in the case I was on. Drug dealer WROTE HIS NAME on the front of his notebook where he kept a list of his prices for his product. Even the jury was like “Dude! It’s not middle school. No other dealers going to accidentally take your notebook!”

The Helsinki library is like the apotheosis of Library As Useful Public Space. I am in awe.

Restocked my lancets and test strips today, and discovered they'd both gone up in price. The strips: $10.29 to $10.31 The lancets: $2.59 to $6.03

How is it already July? Oh well, looking forward to the Happy Meal toys for the MCU movie coming out later this month.

Local library is closed for renovations, for slightly over a week*, and I'm already feeling a bit twitchy. *Assuming everything goes smoothly.

I was trying to place where I recognized a guest actor on a TV show from and eventually realized it was from a meme.

Me at 1:30 am: *Finally starting to drift off* My Phone: *LOUD, annoying, alert noise* I get why Amber Alerts exist, but do they really expect anyone is actually going to read them at that hour?

Periodically, I will get the urge to crochet something and then be reminded, about a hour into the project, that crocheting actually uses muscles.

She’s twelve, which is about what English coonhounds tend to reach, but has the heart of a much younger dog and the brains of a manual toaster.

Aww, thanks, Amazon, I think my book is pretty talented too. But remember, it's not whether you're "gifted," it's what you do with the gifts you have that matters.
