In a small town Goodwill in New Jersey, I found the perfect top for this pan, verse, enby.

I had some #limerick fun with the #prompt word #school:

An old boor who believes that he's hot
Is considered decidedly NOT.
He's called "too cool for school"
And an "arrogant fool
With less charm than your average bot."

Gentle diffused light,
Bringing down trickling rain drops,
Nature's fuel source.

*GOD'S CALL TO LOVE OTHERS!

*If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving yo!*do not be hardhearted!*or tightfisted toward them!*Rather!*be openhanded!*& freely lend them whatever they need!

Two animal limericks in one day! Why? Because, not to be outdone by the groundhog, it's also World Ostrich Day.

Did you know that the whole “bury their head in the sand” thing is a myth? https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know/ostriches-do-not-really-stick-their-heads-sand

To all my lovely nerdy, wordy peeps - this is DELIGHTFUL.

'The Perception of Rhythm in Language' by psycholinguist Dr. Anne Cutler, published in 1994.

1994! How could I not have known of this before now?

But today, I am one of the lucky 10, 000 - and so, my friend, are you.

(There are links in the article to the original paper & more about Dr. Cutler. )

この #Verse ってサービス気になるな。
色々新しさを感じる。SNS 以前の Web を感じると同時に、SNS が悪い意味で煮詰まった先にある次の新しい何かにも見える

"Sweet Talkin' Woman" is a 1978 single by #ElectricLightOrchestra (ELO) from the album #OutOfTheBlue (1977). Its original title was "Dead End Street", but it was changed during recording. Some words that survived from that version can be heard in the opening of the third #verse, "I've been livin' on a dead end street". The track became the third top ten hit from the #LP in the UK, peaking at number 6. As a novelty, initial copies of the #12inch.

Al-Baqarah - Verse 11

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran:
When they are told, “Do not spread corruption in the land,” they reply, “We are only peace-makers!”

Con el objetivo de retomar y mejorar mis hábitos de lectura --de libros-- este 2024, he adquirido este eBook reader Pocketbook Verse, que me llegó hace un par de días. Está bien bonito y práctico.

Time for some #BridgeNine #hardcore #vinyl while I try out #Apiary for the first time.

Playing alone so we will see how the Automa works but I'm usually impressed with how #StonemaierGames implements #solo rules for #BoardGames
