As a performer I have several I love. “Comedy of Errors” because of memories. “Twelfth Night” because of one excellent performance I saw. And “Much Ado About Nothing” for the best and worst couples in Shakespeare.

D20 Key Necklace The sterling silver D20 Key Necklace is a gaming-inspired design, matching well with our D20 earrings. The icosahedron at the top of the key is a flattened design for additional comfort, and the bit o...

I personally love this D20 key necklace. It's geeky and stylish at the same time :) montgomeryramsay.com/collections/...

A Guatemalan jade necklace hangs from a silver box chain in the right center of the frame. To the left of it, sits a Montgomery-Ramsay product box just a touch out of focus. The background is red because I haven't changed out the background from the Valentine's Day promo shoots we've been shooting.

Eric Carter Buy books online and find book series such as Eric Carter written by Stephen Blackmoore from PenguinRandomHouse.com

Got hit with a $3000.00 vet bill yesterday. Still looking for work. So, uh, buy my books, maybe?

Succession only worked for me because nothing good happens to main characters. It feels like a particularly ruthless king watching his wastrel heirs crumble under the slightest pressure and him realizing everything he worked for dies with him.

I see a lot of folks saying this will hurt Dems in the midterms and frankly I’m not sure that’s true - if anything, it shows the depth to which people are angry and engaged and wanting to fight these assholes

but it does substantially increase the chance they will be voting for different Democrats

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.

He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.

Literally resign tonight.

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.

Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.

He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Look at that! Democrats seizing defeat from the jaws of victory. Schumer needs to step down tonight. This is absolute bullshit.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Back To Work - Ben Writes A Thing Greetings Wayfarers! It’s great to be back in the world of Local Heroes. I took about a month off to recharge my batteries after finishing the Royal Road draft of Local Heroes volume 1. Now I’m back, ...

I took some time off to rest and recharge and now I'm back, baby!

Some sort of “breaking news event” during DragonCon would result in some hilarious TikTok’s.

Same here, very curious where exactly it's going. I'm liking the expansion of the world and lore, not sure on the plot.

Tomorrow I start on the last chapter of my first real book. Then I have to edit it because…hoo-boy it is way too long.
