Thank you!!

I will allow that it's been the exception and was probably in no small part influenced by how goddamn terribly grubhub handled it BUT STILL

(caps for reasons of it was funny not rage)

SURE WAS!

me, dibs, please

(had to go check my account balances, lol but yes okay)

If @thefourthvine.bsky.social doesn't change their mind on the blue topaz, I'd like to jump in on it instead.

:(

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

oh PLEASE my entire social media philosophy since day one has been blocking straights

Do you guys want a giggle?

Quickly scroll down to the bottom before the screenshots load in and read the AI disclaimer at the bottom.

Conjure a mental image of what the game might look like mechanically and visually with that long disclaimer.

Then scroll back up and look at the gameplay footage.

A silver tabby cat sleeping innocently on a comforter. She is on her side with her front paws curled up tightly against her body.

Silver tabby cat rolled onto her back with her tummy exposed and twisting her front half so that she can grab at a human hand with her front paws. The thumb of the offending hand has been caught in her mouth. (Wrassle is one of her favorite games, she does not inflict damage.)

An immediate follow-up of the previous wrassle pic, now the cat is licking the thumb she was previously pretending to bite. She is still partly on her back with her tummy exposed but her front twisted to the side to better reach the hand.

Thrilled that my first new short story in several years, "Constellations," about astronauts crashlanding on a distant planet, has been published by the @technologyreview.com. Acquiring editor Rachel Cortland. Art by Rogan Brown. Free link to avoid the paywall: ter.li/r3tbrsgr

The Book of Lost Places: The Selected Works of Jeff VanderMeer. The book is in pretty great condition for how rare it is. The title page is signed, but it does not have a numbering page.

Shriek: An Afterword. Limited edition from Wyrm Publishing. This is number 316/500. It is signed and has a second signed inscription. The book itself is in great condition, but sadly does not come with the CD.

Finch. Limited edition Rebel Samizdat 89/350 and comes with the CD. It's signed on the front cover and is in excellent condition.

Hey friends, my mom has an intensive surgery coming up as part of her cancer treatment. To help her out, I'm raffling off some limited Jeff VanderMeer novels from my collection. There will be three winners with all proceeds going directly to my mom. See next post for info and alt text for book info.

autocorrect pls!! Yes! That's fine, lol

I don't see anytime else jumping for the enamel cat... If it's still available, me!

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

They turned its appearances way, WAY down when they added the new air force routes.... I used to complain it was always leap of faith but now it's always air force. Where's the balance?? 😭

I ordered one of these last year and it was an absolute delight, fully recommend it to my tea-enjoying mutuals!

Yeah there's one rip from XI I wish they hadn't used.

Quetz, Shiva, Ifrit, Siren, Brothers, Diabolos, Carby, Levi, Pandemonium (though there's wiggle room there considering....), Cerberus, Alex, train, bahamut, cactuar, tonberry, and eden, yeah..... Just jumbo cactuar.

J-jumbo cactuar....?

And we got micro-8 with Eden. Aww shit, maybe it really will finally be time.

You think we'll get it that soon? I guess we are running out of other titles, though. They better ramp up production on the main line.
