Today marked Fat Thursday in Poland — essentially our national doughnut day. On my way back from therapy, I went by every spot without a colossal line, snagging 2-3 doughnuts at each.
Curious about the final count of my doughnut haul? You'd need to sign an NDA for that info. Let's just say the number teeters between 'impressive' and 'should I be worried?' 😅

I didn't know what to expect from the ROTK chapter scheduled for Easter Sunday beyond the outlines of the plot as remembered: Sauron and his armies are defeated; Eagles bring Sam and Frodo out of Mordor; much rejoicing. And then I got to this bit, from Sam:
I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?
Anyway now I am crying again; thanks, Professor Tolkien.

Going Off Tumblr for Lent!
Hey gang, River of The RIU here! First, no I’m not Catholic; but in my area, some of us Protestants choose to give up something for Lent (the six weeks leading up to Easter). I decided to give up social media this year, so after today (Tuesday), I won’t be on here or able to reply to replies, asks, etc. until Easter.
You’ll still see posts popping up on my tumblr, thanks to my queue, but it’ll only be five a day (look we just had this discussion about my queue being REALLY full). I will still be on Discord and Facebook Messenger, though, for those who need to reach me there! (I did confirm Discord does NOT count as social media by definition, so no this is not cheating. :P)
I hope you all have a great Lent season, whether or not you celebrate Lent! God bless and happy Ash Wednesday/Valentine’s Day! :D
~River

Hey lovelies! I'm going to be taking a hiatus for Lent, so to make Easter more fun, send me writing requests! I'll see what I can write during Lent and then you can have some stories when I come back!

my friends sorta bailed on me for our planned may vacation, or like, not bailed per se, but it was supposed to be a longer trip, and now it turned into an extended long weekend - which is fine! it's still gonna be a lot of fun
but i have all this vacation time i have to use up before the end of July or I lose it - which is such a whiny privileged problem ik - but it's like....i dont HAVE any other nearby friends.....sitting around in my apartment for a day or two is nice, but a whole week? it'll probably just be really depressing??? i'll sleep to much and be a miserable wretch..... but obvs i dont want to NOT use that PTO that i am so lucky to have with this current job (yay unions)
also like i get that i'm not everyone's priority and they used most of their pto for trips with family and significant others....but im just... i saved it for you... i am too pathetic sad bad to have any other friends apparently....

In the middle of the world, in the centre
Of the polluted heart of man, a midden;
A stake stemmed in the rubbish.
From lipless jaws, Adam's skull
Gasped up through the garbage:
'I lie in the discarded dross of history,
Ground down again to the red dust,
The obliterated image. Create me.'
From lips cracked with thirst, the voice
That sounded once over the billows of chaos
When the royal banners advanced,
replied through the smother of dark:
'All is accomplished, all is made new, and look -
All things, once more, are good.'
Then, with a loud cry, exhaled His spirit.
Golgotha, John Heath-Stubbs
