“On the way home we lost our way. My mother was worried. ‘We must get home,’ she said. ‘We do not want to meet the old Dark Frog.’ ‘Who is that?’ I asked. ‘A terrible ghost,’ said my father. ‘He comes out at night and eats little frog children for supper.'”

This book is GREAT. Mindbending, sad, funny, loving, with tremendous law/argument magic and eldritch horrorshows

YES YES THE WIZARD BOOK COVER IS OUT

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

yikes

Gourd-fucking-DAMMIT.

The last half of this quote wasn't circulating nearly as much yesterday, but it's actually the clincher. God bless this brilliant, gifted, absolutely deranged man.

I strongly believe we are due for a renaissance of analog letter-writing and maybe you should try and catch that wave, gang Manufacture that excuse to start a cute washi tape/eraser collection Overcome your fear of "messing up" your "good paper" by actually using it BE FREE

Next stop: Viable Paradise!

Gonna go find some peaches and some dynamite
