My baby, 3am: Ugh, I want to be asleep again. My baby's brain: Time to blow bubbles, just like we've done all day. My baby: But-- Baby's brain: BUBBLES. NOW. At least it's not the pterodactyl screech in the night (yet).

I would LIKE folks to not to use AI generated graphics for environmental and ethical reasons, but here's a selfish social motivator: if you DO use an AI image in your PFP/banner, you're probably gonna get added to this labeller and be muted/hidden or by everyone who subscribes to it

After a reading (and writing) drought of almost a year, I have been absolutely loving the Murderbot Diaries! The audiobooks are keeping me sane through early morning feeds with my 1 month old. A great study of POV and character voice (and the audiobook narrator is also excellent).

Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad "'I used to come over here quite often to look at her books,' Magrat confessed. 'And... and she liked to cook foreign food and no-one else round here would eat it, so I'd come up to keep her company.' 'Ah-ha! Curryin' favour!' snapped Granny."

This is your reminder that thesaurus dot com is (almost certainly) using AI to generate thesaurus entries, and you should, if you can, use Merriam Webster to avoid accidentally destroying the planet via the fuckery machine.

The thing about being a foreigner living in smallish-town Denmark is that my name and accent stand out, sometimes embarrassingly. But there are benefits, including that the local bookseller remembers me and always looks happy to see me come in and order another obscure English fantasy book.

If I were forced to read only one author for the rest of my life, I feel like it would have to be T Kingfisher, because her range is just incredible! In the last month, I have read and adored What Moves the Dead, Bryony and Roses, and Minor Mage. They were all perfect. And so different!
