We were employed by the Straits of Gibraltar for a while. Not a bad employer until we said we wanted to visit the Black Sea and he got really angry. That's when we realised he wasn't the boss for us.

I just finished The Forest At The Heart Of Her Mage, one of the SPFBO finalists for last year, and I had a really good time with it. A modern fantasy world, a perilous magical forest, and a journey through hard pasts towards hope: app.thestorygraph.com/books/f8f6fe...

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

The last delivery from our friendly local feed store today, which is an extra-sad occasion because they're helpful and knowledgeable and we're close enough to be on the cheapest delivery rate. Now we'll have to find someone else who delivers hay and I doubt they'll be as practical for our set-up.

The Prime Minister (and Labour party, apparently) seem to think this is a reasonable premise for a business, but I think most of the electorate can see that it's absolutely insane, without needing expertise in copyright or language model training. I have no idea what they think they're doing.

More like ELF-PROMOTION amirite? Seriously, though, read the Lands Of The Firstborn trilogy, they're a great exploration of what classic fantasy tropes might mean for the people in that world.

An important life skill to develop is the ability to not have an opinion on a thing. This is because there are many things which it is not necessary for you to have an opinion on. A related skill is recognizing that the list of things on which an opinion is required is different for everyone.
