90 years ago TODAY, on May 10th, 1933, the Nazis burned tens of thousands of books across Germany. We must FIGHT BACK against book bans. We cannot let history repeat itself.

@reeshistory Great. Just what I need. 😂 I assume you've played Apotheon?

@artcrimeprof "Symbols of beauty"? What does that even mean?

@drinkaurabora Tangerine Blossom is DELIGHTFUL but my shipment of three cases contained not a single promo postcard. 😭 Did you not make them this time or are you just holding out on me specifically?

[Marian Whitney Makins @ProfMakins]

@drinkaurabora spotted in the wild at @Coffee_Corral in Red Bank!

A friend just addressed me as "My Lady of Pedantry" and I think it says a lot about both my character and my emotional state that this warmed the cockles of my heart.

@MikeVachow @DanielTorday 41yo here, recently bought a new pair of 8-hole high(er)-heeled Docs, not at all sorry. Pleased to meet a fellow member of the tribe.

@Clanricarde2 I mean... I know many intelligent members of the armed forces, current and former. But this scheme seems... indicative of some very serious social problems. To say the least.

[Marian Whitney Makins @ProfMakins]

I think this is real. Why is this real?
