I'm a little concerned now. The last chapter saw a pretty big dip in upvotes and interactions from the norm. I don't know if the people who are not upvoting any more are still reading, but if you are, can you tell me what made you not upvote? I don't know if this is just an overreaction on my part, but I don't want the quality to decrease, so if it's something that can be fixed, let me know.
Edit: next chapter will be delayed for two days. A friend of my parents lost someone recently, so I will be going with them and staying a day over there. I'll get back to it as soon as I can. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This whole situation was becoming more insane by the minute. The level of absurdity and risk was just about immeasurable, for not only was everyone here risking their lives, but I was also risking my sanity, in more ways than one. Being captured and tortured again might send me over the edge if I had to endure it for a long time again, but I could say with certainty that if Kala got hurt, I would devolve almost immediately.
I once again reaffirmed my desire to protect her as I brought our embrace to an end. She smiled at me as I stared into her eyes, feeling completely bewildered at just how brazen and courageous she was. Whenever she set her mind to something, she would not falter in her convictions until she had completed her goal. Still, I wondered how she got Durdan to agree to this as she was not a soldier in the standard sense of the word.
“I’m a little afraid to ask, but what the hell did you say to Durdan to get him to agree with sending you?” I asked.
She smirked. “More or less the same thing I told you. It didn’t hurt that I have experience acting as a slave that I could put to use as well. I also made it abundantly clear that it didn’t matter if I got permission or not, I was going even if I had to sneak out of camp and follow you.”

There was no sign of the three lighthouse keepers who should have been present: James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald McArthur. The relief lighthouse keeper, Joseph Moore, found an eerie scene before him when he landed. All of the doors and windows and gates in and around the property closed but the rooms were all well-lived in: beds were still unmade, clocks stopped, and food was out on the table. It was as if the keepers fled the lighthouse in a rush...or were taken.
The building was severely damaged, walls scarred, and stones cracked. Something had put the lighthouse under siege though no storms capable of such calamity were reported in the area of the Flannan Isles, just off the northwestern coast of Scotland. The Atlantic can be devious in the winter, however, and it’s possible that some irregular weather event was the cause of the disappearance. The prevailing theory is that the three men were working near the shore when a sudden and massive wave reached up from the sea to drag them away.
That’s almost the truth but there is so much more to the story. My name is Lucas Vant, amateur reporter, professional conspiracist, and owner of the blog Horror in History. I’m once again posting the contents of a journal retrieved by my team to spread the true story of one of history’s strangest mysteries. Through my contacts, I’ve come into possession of the log books of Thomas Marshall, one of the missing keepers. You may have seen excerpts of these diaries floating around message boards over the last few years. However, this is the first time that I believe the full set detailing the events of the disappearance have been made available.
This is a tale of three men in isolation, of a terrible storm, a hungry sea, and of a ship that has no earthly explanation.

Mr. McArthur had another fit today. This time it was over breakfast. Apparently, Mr. Ducat over cooked the eggs and caused some bacon to burn. In response, Mr. McArthur shattered his plate and sent a chair flying into the wall. I ran downstairs after hearing the commotion and found Mr. McArthur seething while Mr. Ducat simply stared at the remains of the eggs. Both men have been acting peculiar this past week, prompting me to keep this second, “

While it's a commonly accepted narrative that Vanessa played an incredibly dominant game, the specifics of it tend to become lost. Fans sometimes make the mistake of forgetting Vanessa's fundamental faults as a player, or understate her success in favor of houseguests like Steve and Austin.
It's been very interesting delving into the details of Vanessa's gameplay, both the good and the bad. While it's undeniable that Vanessa was a sloppy player with a lackluster social game, she pulled off multiple mindbending feats throughout her time on the season.
Finding a Foothold
Most Big Brother winners tend to find themselves in a good position early on - even if this changes, most winners come off to an at least decent start. There are exceptions to this rule - Will, Adam, Dan, Josh, even Steve from this season - but generally, it's hard for early underdogs to not remain underdogs.
Vanessa began Big Brother 17 in a tumultuous spot. While she had the luck of receiving immunity from the short lived BB Takeover twist, she was on the outside of the early supergroup consisting of Da'Vonne, Audrey, Shelli, Clay, Jason, Jeff, Meg, and James, with Jackie as a plus one.^(6) Worse, Vanessa began the game in an overly emotional place, struggling with homesickness.^(3) To top it all off, her social game was quite poor, with people finding her kind of abrasive.^(2)
However, Vanessa had a few things going for her: she had a social bond with Shelli (an influential, comp-able player who's in both the power alliance and a showmance), and she had connections to Steve. Furthermore, Vanessa used the targeting of Jace as an opportunity to feed game information to Austin, establishing a game relationship between them.^(2) These connections with Shelli, Steve, and Austin would go on to serve as the foundation of the Sixth Sense alliance down the line.
Vanessa won't come into a position of power until the end of Week 2, but she did show her skill as a player in Week 1, primarily through her dealings with Audrey. Audrey began overplaying nearly immediately, and a crack formed in the alliance between her and Da'Vonne. Vanessa got involved when Audrey confronted her and accused her of founding an all women's alliance; Vanessa held her own in the confrontation, talked Audrey down, and Audrey refocu

After several minutes of, rather intense, wrestling Kela finally stood up with the two pups. Mel was firmly latched to her left bicep, chewing away, and the other pup was wrapped around her waist and right leg. As she stood the large werewolf that had been standing in the door began walking up.
"Alright alright." Kela said while prying Mel off of her arm, and chuckling to herself. "Let go. We have a visitor. Introduce yourselves you little muttlings."
The two wolf pups detached from their mother and landed on their feet. Mel ran up in front of James, tail wagging. "Hi! I'm Mela are you my mom's new packmate? Auntie Amina is super mad at you! She's really mad that you shot mommy!" The little wolf said in that speed that only ultra hyper little girls seem capable of.
"Uh, hi Mela." James crouched a little and reached his hand out. "I'm James. It's very nice to meet you." The little wolf grabbed his hand with both of hers and shook as hard as she could.
The other pup was hiding behind his mother's legs, peaking out at James shyly.
"Come on now Tilo. Be a good wolf and introduce yourself." The approaching wolf said as he walked up to Kela. He embraced her in a hug and the two of them rubbed snouts for a moment. Then he turned to James. "Hello. I'm Jurl. Kela's Mate." He said as he reached his arm out in greeting. "This little belly shower." He peered around at Tilo. "Is Tilo. He's a little shy."
"Well Tilo." Said James, slowly standing back up. "That's ok. I don't bite. At least not as hard as your sister does." He winked at Mela while making a play of rubbing the arm she'd mauled. Then he reached over and shook Jurl's hand. "It's nice to meet you Jurl."
"You too. Now come on inside. Dinner should be done soon enough." He turned to Kela. "Hadn't expected you tonight dear, is everything ok?"
"Yes, King Farrick instructed me to stop by after we were done getting James some gear. I figured we could all have dinner together." She replied as they turned toward the door. Jurl's arm was draped around her shoulder, and hers was wrapped around his waist.
"He's a wise king." Jurl said. Mela and Tilo ran in front of them to grab the door. James followed behind the couple.
God, for little kids those two sure run fast. I don't think I'd be able to keep up even sprinting. He thought. *No
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Hello there!
This year, I'm doing a themed bingo square with trans or nonbinary characters in every book. As such, I've spent a lot of time (too much time) compiling books that fit for each square. I had originally intended to post this list after finishing my board with a write-up, but seeing as we are past halfway through the bingo year and I'm on track to finish pretty late, I’ve decided to put this up early so it can hopefully actually be helpful for people still looking to fill their boards.
Books are listed under each category they fit, but I didn’t always check for some of the harder ones (eg. first person, forest setting) if they fit something obvious (eg. published in 2021, cat squasher). Books are sourced from the recommendations thread, the focus thread, the queersff database, readsrainbow, various Goodreads lists, and various threads in other subreddits. Also, disclaimer, I haven't read all these, so categorizations may be inaccurate. Please let me know if you notice that this is the case, or if there are any books I should add or remove!
Without further ado, here's my list of 250+ books that qualify for the trans/NB character square plus at least one other square:

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
When I got home, they were still there.
There hasn't been a post all year!
