Two bunnies each control one knob on a large etch-a-sketch. (Large to the bunnies, it is actually a normal etch-a-sketch and the bunnies are extra small.) In the etch-a-sketch, the two bunnies have drawn a haphazard flower in an outdoor scene, with two bunnies around the flower.

This girl was screaming the whole way as she came in for landing, and she gave me a beautiful reflection as she did!

This meme was made by my sister 2 years ago, shortly after she convinced me to start reading the series. She deleted it from /r/WetlanderHumor, but I've resurrected it for Lemmy.

On Saturday 25 January 2025 my wife Arianna and I visited this local gaming pub upon recommendation of her workmates. It was a wonderful first experience with food, drink, and total hangout-ability.

I went home that evening, jumped on the website, and became a member. I was immediately hooked, and hey, 10% off food and sodas will entice any Scotsman.

It's a family run business and you can tell. Additional staff used to be customers, which adds to the homely feeling of the place.

I have been back weekly for a meal hangout and to chat with whoever is around. Arianna went back together on Sunday evening for her to meet-up with a local D&D group. She is learning that game and community.

As an added bonus, this pub is everyone friendly. I may be a Christian but I will be the first to defend everyone's right to hangout together and be who they are. I am a total geek. Check me out with the Spider-man baseball top in cahoots with Doctor Doom. #SpiderMan #DoctorDoom

A bunny in a carrot-colored racecar makes a quick stop for repairs. A crew of other bunnies zoom in with new tires and also a screwdriver. It is the middle of the race. They are all out of sync, and not organized like a real pit-crew.

So I was wondering if anyone else had favorite chapters of the whole series, or sequences of chapters. For example Road to the Spear and Dedicated are incredible and some of my favorite chapters, but when I really want to feel things I listen to "A visit from Verin Sedai" through to "The Tower Stands". That sequence is moving and uplifting and tragic all rolled together. Another honorable mention goes to Perrin's conversation with Boundless in the Towers of Midnight epilogue which made myself and my trans partner cry ugly tears.

So what are your favorites and why?

We may be geeks, but some of us have an interest in sports, aka sportsball.

I grew up in Scotland supporting Glasgow Rangers. When I was 15 I started writing to a pen-pal in San Francisco the same time as Channel 4 showed "American Football".

So, for me it's surreal to see the potential merging of these two great times, financially at least.

Two bunnies are in a dark catacomb, like the characters of Edgar Allan Poe's "A Cask of Amontillado". One of the bunnies is attempting to "wall in" the other bunny in an alcove, attempting to bury them alive. The other bunny, dressed as a jester, happily enjoys their bottle of red wine.

Many Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people from coastal Virginia were listed as Free People Of Color or as โ€œmulattoesโ€ prior to 1800. Families with the names ALLMOND/ALLMAN, BLUFORD, DRIVER, FREEMAN, GOWEN/ GOING, HEARN, KING, LEMON, MEGGS, MONOGGIN, and MORRIS are identified in various documents as living free from slavery but โ€œfreeโ€ didn't mean that they were as free as those of full European ancestry. Such โ€œfreeโ€ people weren't enslaved, but they did have restrictions placed on them and other hardships.

The above Qarsherskiyan families, as well as others not cited in this report, contributed to America by fighting in wars, joining and even leading religious movements, and working many trades. At the same time, they worked for more freedom to access better education, attain property ownership, and more equality.

Members of the DRIVER family were described in some records as โ€œwhiteโ€ and in others as โ€œmulattoโ€ or โ€œcoloredโ€.

The FREEMAN family saw a future for their family by owning land in 1787. The โ€œList of the Land Tax within the District of Richard Gregory Commissioner of Gloucester County the year 1787โ€ noted that James FREEMAN owned 34 acres. This land seems to have remained in the FREEMAN family throughout the next generation. As I researched this family, it was hard to discern their race. Some records identify this family as white, while others identity them as mulattoes. (To see more about their genealogy: http://www.freeafricanamericans.com/Fagan_George.htm)

The DRIVER, LEMON and MORRIS families are also recorded as land owners as far back as the 1782 Tax Records for Gloucester County, VA. The MORRIS family is well documented here on Renegade South by Victoria Bynumโ€™s โ€œFree People of Colorโ€ in Old Virginia: The Morris Family of Gloucester County.โ€ Margaret MORRIS Driver was the daughter of Elijah MORRIS, who owned a great deal of land. As of today, this land is still in their family.

Many free people of color who worked as skilled artisans, such as carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths, and shoemakers. Some excelled in their professions: the DRIVER Brothers made quality furniture. Sam DRIVER and Robert DRIVER, were blacksmiths. Matthew T. DRIVER, one of the earliest instructors at Tuskegee University, taught wheelwrighting. The majority of black male heads of households in Gloucester County were listed as farmers, oysterman and farm laborers, but they all knew how use their hands in one way or another. The occupations listed for women of color included spinners, weavers, cake sellers, and one seamstress.

A bunny has just left his cottage in a remote countryside. He has stepped out to go into town. To his astonishment, a giant, jagged chasm has opened up outside his house, reaching all the way to the horizon. Perhaps he slept through an earthquake
