Just had my first actual DnD game. Am I allowed at the cool kids table yet?

Finally finished Death of the Author. Really clever interrogation of how our creations shape us. πŸ’™πŸ“šπŸͺ

Just started this. Picked it up because I liked the title. Didn't know it's part of a series (the big fat 1 on the spine should've clued me in) I didn't expect the Aztec cyberpunk political intrigue, but I'm here for it! πŸ’™πŸ“šπŸͺ

Froher Weltfrauentag -- bleibt wachsam, stay politically active, and stay safe. open.spotify.com/track/7vkIXy...

I really don't get how everybody's not talking about Pantheon now that the show's easily accessible. That's some awesome SF. the pilot's kind of piloty, I guess

Happy new year and merry Hogswatch (as in New Year's Day not the Winter Solstice -- it's sort of both in 'canon'. The Discworld calender is weird like that) to all those who celebrate An guatn Rutsch. Auf a besseres 2025

I think as sff readers we tend to forget that suspension of disbelief is an aquired skill. I watched (the first half of) Hogfather with my family yesterday, and man their disbelief was firmly unsuspended. πŸ’™πŸ“šπŸͺ

Word of the day is β€˜apanthropy’ (18th century): a dislike of company and the desire to be left alone.

I love planning. I have also never once in my life stuck to a plan.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam

Growing up is realizing that coffee shop AUs are good actually

2025 seems a wee smidge less dreary already πŸ’™πŸ“šπŸͺ

Just catching up on the last couple of @uncannymagazine.bsky.social issues. "Loneliness Universe" by @foxesandroses.bsky.social from issue 58 describes my early 20s experience eerily well. πŸͺπŸ“š

The character introduction of Erin in Paper Girls slaps. It's so damn efficient. In 5 pages we learn 1)she's a space nerd, 2)she's protective of her little sis, 3)she's got some catholic school kid hang-ups about heaven & hell. +it's a great intro to the mood & comedic style of the comic #BookSky

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.
