Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 21hGlad I grew up with dogs where respect wasn’t optional. Like they were all well trained and total softies but they couldn’t be afterthoughts or accessories. Adults had to set the example. (People watching while nephew watching at the playground thoughts.) 020
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 12/10/2026People acting like the ACOTAR book maps had any effort at all put into them and that they are worth of discussion. Fucking cackling it is too much for me to handle 000
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I’m probably overthinking it! but i keep worrying about rain and wind (pegging them down). Just gotta get on with it i guess. 010
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 12/10/2026my nephew (helps with my house every year to give my sister breathing room) has requested minecraft decorations, especially an enderman and I love that he wants to be involved ideas wise but I’m struggling to work out how to execute this homemade style. 120
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Nephew wants a giant enderman halloween decoration this year and I like the idea just gotta work out executing it. Given the kid moves all the trinkets in my house every time he comes over for me to find for the week after I can see why enderman are relatable at least. 010
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 11/10/2026oh I remembered to write the author name for you this time @greymalkinoz.bsky.social! Figured the pseudonym for the adult books would be the useful one there :-P 010
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I gotta admit I was expecting more crime and less sex and relationship drama as well. 100
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Turns out a child/YA author who had some SF type books I really liked as a teen wrote some surprisingly steamy lesbian crime books under a psuedonym (Claire McNab). They’re solid but part of me is that child that is absolutely disgusted finding out adults have sex reaction. Bit whups. 100
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 09/10/2026that said, added the leak tops instead of a bit of onion to the mix because they needed to be used and that might have been the best decision I've made in a long time. 010
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Tried something new for the crispy oven tofu. It's tasty and working well but goddamn its taking like an extra 20minutes in the oven (extra moisture I guess?) and I am not a fan of that. 100
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m pretty sure I’ll get in trouble if the kid goes vegetarian after watching movies with me hey 100
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Having a heart attack because nephew made it sound like my mum had him watching all of One Piece while she had him. The live action is MA15+ and he is five! I couldn’t figure out where mum would have gotten hold of the kids cut of the anime. Eventually established he meant the Lego version. 120
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026gotta wait till after the book club to name names 000
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think so but tbh hard to seperate my dislike for the work out enough to consider how bad it is with some objectivity. Hits every style and narrative trope I find irritating in modern SF so. 120
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026probably gonna be apologising to a lot of people for shitting on the book this week. 100
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Book club book this month is by a guy that was the script writer for what is probably my least favourite movie. It is clearly a book written to be sold for movie rights. I am enjoying it about as much as you'd expect from those two facts. :-/ 210

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There is some thing about if you’re a real man you will show the women in your life the group chat with the boys. Mentioned it to my partner as a joke. He was very excited to show me it wasn’t just warhammer, they also talked about lawn care? …I have higher expectations for our lawn now tbh. 020

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Levelling up by reading books written by an Australian set in Australia for my favourite feminist reading game of “Is this character a lesbian or just from Sydney?” (I side-eye the Sydney-siders like any decent sandgroper) 001
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Might have started babysitting at 7am but at least the kid wanted to watch Batman:TAS The good stuff 000
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's the night before babysitting, everything is quiet... so of course now is the moment I realise I can't find any of the fucking of the old lego video games. Was planning on getting the kid on the ps3 for them 000

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Going through old emails, including a bunch of publishing/nerd press and goddamn. The pushing YA at adults was fucking relentless in the mid2010s. Dystopian even. I blame this for the reading crisis tbh. Dunno if its better now but 'mate I'm forty' helps irl. 000

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026in these bin space shortage times my partner remains the kind of lunatic that puts the red bin out half full and then goes back in to grab the excess garbage bags from cleaning out the study 6 weeks ago. Like we aren’t surrounded by people with overfull bins. Nutter 110

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 18/09/2026exactly! Not quite the same as with teens but idk if feels like an important step to know the rough plan and let them work out the details (and get it wrong). Feels like the job you want as an adult is them knowing safe numbers to call if it goes wrong. 000

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 18/09/2026grown adults will sometimes expect me to have my partner on one of those trackers and I’m like… can we not normalise coercive control & dv bullshit? bad enough the fuel crisis meant I noticed he went to a mates for gaming one week rather than the usual hall.

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 18/09/2026talking to my adult neighbour kid and she has a real healthy relationship with her parents best I can tell. It’s just the panopticon is just assumed. These kids have never had the chance to get lost :-( 100

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Gotta say the matte/soft touch shit that Tor is using on some of it's trade paperbacks lately is fucking awful. The covers are too thin for it as well so the books go all weird. It is the worst thing in the world to touch. How do I fucking read this book if I don't want to touch it? 000
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Jesus Christ the too cool for school narration at the start of He Man is Too Much. Surely the point of these things are to go all in and have fun, fuck pretending to be detached from how corny it all is. 000

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Shamed meself last night forgetting who the current governor general is.

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Last week: won the pub quiz by a ridiculous margin (all our strengths). Third win in a row but with at least four-six of us each time. This week: down to only two of us and like twice as many teams. So no pressure. 000

It's been a rough couple of weeks and I walked away from my computer instead of spending a stupid amount of money on importing a giant (over 50!) pile of old Naiad Press paperbacks. I don't have that much money spare but it was still tempting to just go fuck it 020
