Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

A black and white cartoon. A small girl is in bed with a teddy bear. Through her open window has drifted a mustache-wearing, middle-aged seeming man, wearing blue-collar-coded boots, jeans, work shirt, and cap. He floats above the girl's bed with fairy wings out of his back, and he holds a star-tipped wand in one hand. The caption reads, "I'm the Labor Day Fairy, and I'm here to teach you the true meaning of collective bargaining."

Lovecraft's vicious racism informed his work. But in the subsequent years, his fans have done a lot of work to separate it all out, and now we have Lovecraft Country & Harlem Unbound. The HP fandom is utterly uninterested in doing that work, they just want their cute wizard school books.

Went to the farmer's market today hoping to grab some strawberries to can. Sadly, I think I'm just a bit too late. Might hit up Costco this Saturday. At least I got my kitchen Wusthof sharpened. Now I'm transcribing my fall recipes into my recipe app for next week!

Dolly Parton was a supporter of Willa B. Farms, an animal rescue in Old Hickory, TN. I hope you will consider a donation in her memory. 💔 www.willabfarms.com/donate

I don't know this for certain, but Dolly probably could have been a billionaire if she hadn't spent so much on philanthropy.

Look all I'm saying is that I really haven't had a bad mental health day since getting my cat and my community garden plot. (the cat was free, they practically shoved him in my arms. The plot has $100/yr rent + garden supplies & seeds) (I have spent more on supplies than I've grown produce)

In days of yore, beautiful women would sometimes add a fake mole or beauty mark to their face. To demonstrate their prefection. In days of yore, I was super careful to always proofread my social media posts. But now, random tpyos are how I sign my posts, to demonstrate they're not AI.

I don't hate the idea of a show that aims to teach people how to cook cheap, nutritious, and inexpensive dishes. I personally try to cook with full-fat dairy and whole foods. But RFK Jr just layers on too much food purity culture crap for this project to be free of suspicion.

My cat normallly likes cuddles and snuggles. He'll request cuddles, with claws, if he feels it's been too long. But he hates attention late at night. I'll pet him and he gets up like he's offended. I think I've figured it out. He's *on duty* from 1 am to dawn, protecting the household from monsters

I have heard this outbreak is being caused by Taylor Farms lettuce used at Taco Bell, but considering their lettuce is at Costco and Kroger and Walmart and Target and Safeway and Albertsons and Whole Foods (and other fast food chains) for now let us just avoid lettuce.

Wow, these WH40K people live in a relentlessly bleak and brutal universe where simple human kindness is viewed as a form of corruption and ancient rotting corpses rule from golden thrones for years beyond the spans of their natural lives. Anyway, time to take a big sip of coffee and read the news...

The thing about Lindsay Graham is that he lived the life conservatives want for gay people. Publicly, he's a bachelor who just never found his soulmate, then has anonymous sex in secret. Never got to fall in love or openly be with a partner. Sad, if he weren't so vicious to others like him.

Camp Pinewood, by Stolen Fires. An Abandoned Summer Camp. It's probably not haunted. Probably.
