[louder, as if that'll improve reception] THE BLUESKY DEVS WOULD BE VERY UPSET BY YOUR JOKES ABOUT VIBE CODING IF THEY COULD LOAD YOUR POSTS

That the powers that be regularly release completely off the wall conspiracy theories to discredit the entire range.

Ever seen a poll result that is basically telling the pollsters themselves to go touch grass?

Side Quested A Fantasy romcom webcomic, updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Hi, new followers dropping by from the #Hugos announcements!

I’m currently on a train coming back from signing SIDEQUESTED books in NYC! It’s our other comic and the book is just one month old, but you can read it for free here!

I used to enjoy manic phases. Now I'm just stressed about everything but faster. How is that helpful? Already misplaced 2 days and Thursday is a medical stuff day. Fingers crossed for orders picking back up. Must dig in tomorrow.

I know it's made of stabbing but it really does look like velvet.

THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY! (One week if you're a hardcover reader--it'll be live to order on the 28th.)

I used to love drawing these as a kid. I didn't know I was missing a giant cave pickle though!

Congratulations!

(I'm not slagging them off - they obviously do have access to these things! It's just funny seeing them casually pull out things, ah yes, here is my 2 gallon jar, I keep it next to my pet zebra.)

Ah yes, the American terrarium/nano aquarium etc tutorials where he casually has a 2 gallon jar for 5 bucks. I looked around, I could find a 2 gallon on Amazon for £30... ($40.)

I wish I could find more British tutorials with materials that are easy to find here.

Okay. Let's take a moment to talk about How To Be A Hugo Nominee And Come Out Of It Happy About the Honor. I realize this is relevant to like, twelve people. I don't care, those twelve people deserve my time. (You may have seen a version of this thread before. I do it every year.)

the only picture you'll ever need when explaining "sea lions are what happened when bears decided they wanted to play in the ocean as a full time job"

Congratulations!

I've silenced several crying small people in the post office queue by giving them hats/boats folded out of stray leaflets. They're fascinated by origami, and the reaction is funny as anything.

I want to know what god looked at a Shire Horse and went "You know what this needs? Weapons.".

A little under two days left to grab the third installment of my PNR trilogy for .99!

(Thank you folks - had a few answers, and the family are looking into things, I appreciate the help. Will turn off replies now until we see where things end up.)

Economy is so bad my puzzle game just advertised WFH putting hair bobbles into packs...

I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.
