Hi, Shir. I appreciate and support your belief in a better tomorrow, whenever that may be.
Flea, congrats! That sounds like a good move for you.
I also have BlueSky codes available. Many of the historians I had been following on the bird site are there but the traffic is still light enough that a few voices dominate my feed most of the time. I still have hopes for Spoutible, but it's similar there. I do miss the critical mass of politics, art, and culture I had curated for my pre-Musk feed but a few months ago I managed to accidentally wipe all of my bookmarks and passwords and took that as my moment to leave Twitter.
Timelies all!
We went to a cat cafe this afternoon. Most of the cats were sleeping, but I got to pet a few. Mr. S had fun dangling toys for some of the more lively kitties. Afterwards, we went to my MIL’s for Hanukkah dinner.
Also, Gary got me the latest Murderbot book for Hanukkah.
Yay, Murderbot! :)
Stay strong, Shir. My mother always says, "This too shall pass away".
flea, have you posted about Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation or any of the adaptations? Wang Yibo plays one of the leads in the live-action version.
I have been increasingly tempted by Tumblr in recent years.
In between Marske, Wells, and Kingfisher all releasing books within, like, a week of each other, I’m overwhelmed with texty goodness.
Right? It’s been glorious! I hadn’t read Marske until now, I’m so glad I didn’t wait any longer!
Yeah, Ursula is definitely at least furry-adjacent; Digger was a full-on anthropomorphic epic webcomic before it was a graphic novel, and she has been wonderfully furry-supportive both at Further Confusion and at BayCon when I've seen her there. And Kevin (her husband) is a real sweetheart with a soft spot for all furry creatures and chickens everywhere.
We have cause for celebration this day as today is Consuela's birthday! I hope you have a delightful day and that the year to come includes an abundance of happiness.
Happy birthday, Consuela!
Happy Birthday, Consuela!
Happy birthday, Consuela!!!
I’m making cookie swap cookies and working today. I can’t make a nice looking cookie to save my life. But I think they’ll be tasty? Shortbread cookies with cranberry curd.
