Maria Langer | 📝🛥️💎@carolannie The 10¢ or 50¢ per package they were paying for delivery really showed where I live. I’m 2 miles down a gravel road and if you stick to the 15mph speed limit, it’ll take about 15 minutes (1/4 hour) just to get to my place and back. At 50¢ a package, that’s $2/hour.

Ericka SimoneForever thinking about Alabama AG (and eventually governor) Bill Baxley who, when threatened by the KKK for pursuing justice for the 4 girls killed in a KKK Black church bombing back in 1968 (Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins and Cynthia Wesley, say their names), responded with the most legendary retort you could ever put on government letterhead paper:

John ScalziI solved this problem years ago by turning off every single possible notification except texts by approved phone numbers, ie, wife, child and friends. Literally everything else can wait until I decide to get around to it.

Micro SF/F by O. Westin"May I have your name?" the faerie said.
"William," she said with a smile.
"Ah ah!" The faerie gave a wicked laugh. "I have your name! Now no-one will call you by it!"
"Thank you," she said.
"To win it back, you must- what?"
"I will find me a new one," she said, "one that suits me better."
