Yes, we’ve de-emphasized synchronicities because we were getting too much clutter (really, talking animals show up every day in my feeds), but these from April 23 also qualify as LOLs, so here we are.
We definitely passed on a May 7 synchronicity in which both Reality Check and Real Life Adventures featured cat vomit.



Yorick’s absence: was it due to some skullduggery?



But helping the rich pays so much better than helping the poor!

Thanks to Mitch4 for this one:

Don’t worry. They’ll get a light sentence.
On the other hand …


Actually, Ned looks pretty good for 96.




Octarine would be the color of magic — but from a different fantasy author.

I was often half asleep in English class, so semi-comatose.
