Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight “The past needs to be remembered. If you do not know where you come from, then you don’t know where you are, and if you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know where you’re going.”

Doing the maths on Etsy fees, I think if I can sell these 3* tonight, I can make rent. So... who's up first? The dragon scale glowing bronze, the galazy, or the faerie mirror? (*Or various combos of others, but then it gets into "1 large pendant, 4 small, a wallpaper bundle, and a patridge...")

Omg as a huge Lower Decks fan I cannot wait!!

Paul Klee - 1931

Happy holidays! May your new year be full of the alien genitalia you wish to see.

Just a heads up: if you prefer the Nigel Planer/Stephen Briggs Discworld audiobooks, and your collection is from 'zon/Audible, you need to download it to hardware at your earliest convenience (and probably strip the DRM). They have now lost the old Night Watch. I have a source, if you need it.

amid a year of absolute fucking shitgarbagery its good to remember that we can still do cool, good shit. i grew up in the 80s and 90s, and HIV was thought of as an absolutely lethal, incurable plague. As an adult to see it is treatable, and now curable, is pretty incredible.

So here's some good news: The MN Dept of Transportation's annual Name a Snowplow contest is open for submissions Send your best wintery puns! You don't have to live in Minnesota! www.dot.state.mn.us/nameasnowplow/

Men do not want $35 rocks to put in their whisky. This is a lie propagated by the media and Big Rock. Men want Lego Architecture sets. Or Lego City Life sets. Hope this helps

This weekend, NORC's James Fell shared valuable insights on PBS NewsHour based on five decades of impaired driving research. Find out what he shared about current trends in impaired driving and potential changes to legal alcohol limits.

I sometimes have fun with titles! "Objet de luxe parmi des ordinaire donc un qui saigne" 1.2 meters wide. ("A deluxe object among ordinary ones, including one which is bleeding"... sounds better in French!) #sculpture #sculptures #fineart #contemporaryart #art #sciart

i was lucky enough to get an eARC of this book, and its very, very good. i'm excited to talk about it on @otropod.bsky.social

Me: "Why do you guys hate cold iron anyway?" Fey: "We reject the unnaturalness of Worked Metals" Me: [Hold out a plastic knife] Fey: "WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THAT"

Apropos of nothing, anybody who says that audiobooks aren’t “real” reading or that people who use them aren’t “real” readers can kiss both my ass and my royalty statement.

Some sad news: we've scheduled at-home euthanasia for Q the cat on Monday. Her kidneys are shutting down and her quality of life has been going downhill fast, so we're giving her one last weekend of being spoiled and saying a peaceful goodbye.

Yaaay! I'm so thrilled to see Rep. Raskin here! I've been incredibly proud to be one of his constituents. Welcome to bsky, Representative!

Cartoon: How Krampus got his long tongue! We've all been thinking it. Or maybe just me.

Gaetz withdrawal is encouraging, not just because we won't have AG Gaetz but because it's taken Trump about two weeks to squander his supposedly invincible mandate and remind everyone of his staggering incompetence and dysfunction—which, per last time, are the main checks on his power.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

anyone can do art, you don't need to be talented or anything just be creative and say, "this is my art" boom, you're an artist 🎨
