@CoreyBrickley He either looks like he has no thoughts or like he's absolutely nuts, there is no in-between.

@CoreyBrickley That explains my boy Shadow's "crazy eyes" so much.

@TeeEss I would be an entire D&D party (in bird form), I would have several dragon friends, and I would have a Quill Pen of Inspiration.

@CitrusBowl @GavinDeGraw @cheezit @TonyFayPR And don't come at me with your "both bands will be performing" response. It's shameful not to let both bands perform their traditional pregames. It's shameful not to let both bands perform the halftime shows. As a former HMB member I can tell you those kids are absolutely crushed

[EllenEAndersen @EllenEAndersen1]

@CitrusBowl @GavinDeGraw @cheezit @TonyFayPR No. Both teams have dedicated marching bands who want to perform their shows in their entirety - pregame AND halftime. If people want to see a concert, they'll buy tickets to a concert. But they're at a college football game and that means watching the full shows FROM BOTH BANDS.

@Lora013 This is why I love Scrivener so much. I've reordered scenes, moved them to different chapters, moved entire chapters. Moving things helps

[EllenEAndersen @EllenEAndersen1]

Can confirm. I get people in all the time referencing books they saw on tiktok.

@kaylawhitwrites Or, hear me out..... Nautalia 😅

@kaylawhitwrites I feel like Celeste or something moon-related could work since the sea is involved 👀👀 Ocean tides be terrifying

@sofiaxaguilar I specifically miss my favorite coffee shop in my college town. Good tea and snacks, perfect level of ambient noise, and if I had a friend we kept each other off our phones. Haven't fully replicated it since then.

[EllenEAndersen @EllenEAndersen1]

@kaylawhitwrites Good riddance to them then. Hoping you're doing well!

@ziibiing Fellow Midwesterner currently in Texas. There is nothing to clear the roads down here except people risking their lives driving on iced-over roads. No salt, no sand, just people still forced to be out. My heater has been going nonstop. The infrastructure can't handle this weather

@CoreyBrickley French braids keep everything nice and tight to the head and makes it easier to put in hoods/helmets. You can also coil the ends of the braids into a bun to make sure they don't catch on anything.

@kaylawhitwrites It's like herding cats and not always in a fun way.

I basically have to say "THIS is what we're doing, this is WHEN we're doing it, and I am making SNACKS"

@theshirarose I've had parents come into my kickboxing gym asking if we could help their kid (usually a daughter) lose weight/body fat. It's awful.

@cassbeewrites The key (as someone who works at a used bookstore and who has a large personal library) is small boxes.

And also regularly donate or resell books that no longer bring you joy.
