i feel like lately every time it gets warm the local news is like "this is HISTORIC heatwave reaching the highest temperatures SINCE RECORDS BEGAN" so yknow thats probably a normal sign for the enviroment. this seems fine. dont worry about it.

ⓘ Tip: while sewing, you can unlock scary sewing by losing your needle somewhere on your bed.

Ugh. Subtlety is much harder to write than dramatics and action. Every move, every word has to be calculated for just the right amount of tonal shift. It's mind boggling.

Being prime minister of the uk has a higher regret rate than being trans

So the solution is to ban prime ministers

Bookshop.org has begun their anti-Prime-Day sale!

As of today (6/23/2026), USA-based bookshop.org is running their anti-Prime-Day sales until June 26th to compete with Bezos and Amazon while the latter runs the Amazon Prime Day sales (to fund that stupid ballroom.)

If you live in America and wish to buy books online the next few days, I recommend bookshop.org because they will be offering free shipping on all orders during their anti-Prime-Day sale and because their mission always is to donate portions of their proceeds to support local independent bookstores across the USA. You can even look up on their website to see if you can select specific bookstores for your proceeds to support! Also, check and see if that indie author you wanted to purchase a book from has their books listed on bookshop.org. You'd be surprised how many of them are on there!

So once again, if you were planning to buy books online sometime in the next few days and you want free shipping and you like to make sustainable purchases that give back to independent bookstores all over America (and you definitely don't want to give money to Amazon,) I recommend bookshop.org!

Reading comprehension questions I cannot believe I have to add...

1: did OP mention borrowing books from libraries in this post? Why do you think that is? Do you think it is appropriate to co-opt a post [about a sustainable option to buy books while supporting indie bookstores] by saying people should be using the library instead?

2: is there a reason why OP did not mention Thriftbooks.com in their post about Bookshop.org? Why do you think they did not bring up Thriftbooks as an equally sustainable purchasing option in this post about Bookshop.org's specific and intentional sale?

3: if you are not living in America, does this post indicate in some way that this website is USA-based and supports bookstores in the USA? Do you think OP is choosing to be exclusionary, or is this post meant to be informative?

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

you're not supposed to wander around appalachia at night bc you'll fall off a sheer drop that you couldn't see coming. this is also a major risk during the day. you really have to watch out for the sheer drops that you don't see coming due to the undergrowth. I suspect 100% of spooky missing persons cases in appalachia have the spooky explanation of "sheer drop disguised by undergrowth"

really cannot overstate how many utterly invisible ravines we got here and also how big the woods are. they can't find people because the woods? are big

[creekfiend]

in seriousness you can learn about the isolated Appalachian communities that were up here until quite recently by checking out the foxfire books. it is true that there were many isolated communities that remained pretty separate from mainstream American life for a longish time but most of the last ones were my grandpa's generation. and they were regular? can't overstate how regular they were. just rural and isolated with their own culture. do check out the foxfire museum if you want to learn more about them and their lives! those books are based on real interviews conducted by local high schoolers and college students of the old folks in their communities and they are very interesting windows into day to day rural life up in the mountains in the early to mid 20th century.

I absolutely 100% do not mean this in a like derogatory city slickers way; I myself grew up mostly in a city and I think that it is morally neutral to not have experience with The Outdoors. having said that, I have noticed that a lot of people who do not have regular interactions with "landscape that can kill you" do seem to have an internalized idea that "landscape that can kill you" is something that only happens to other people, or not very often, or only under extreme circumstances. which I think often leads them to assume that there must be something else out here that can kill you. but I fear I must inform the people who wanna believe scary Appalachian woods monsters are real that it's Landscape. inclusive of the beasts that dwell there such as the cougars and bears. its Landscape! (GRASPING EVERYONE ON THE SPOOKY APPALACHIAN TRAIL SUBREDDITS) IT'S LANDSCAPE THAT KILLS YOU! ITS ALWAYS LANDSCAPE! Old Man Hidden Ravine and his best friend Exposure!
