A Smithsonian's National Zoo t shirt my husband gave me and a comfy skirt that my colleague gave me that says "NOQU VANUA" [our land/hertiage/family/society] "679" [the Fijian country code]

2) so good. but also. I wish this person knew about voseo. I wish this person was willing to commit to the grammatical inaccuracy of the 1st part of the joke and play it out in the 2nd part. either knowledge or need for correctness has made this slightly less than its potential. to me. VOSferatu.

1) perfect. perfectly executed. the structure is impeccable, great transition from the highly recognizable conceit of the 1st half into the equally recognizable 2nd half. the summary applies to both and the phrasing rules. I know about this topic and I love this for content, structure, and language

No cars or sugar cane trucks which hugely override into the sidewalk and not as crowded and the train bridge is a shortcut to the shopping center. There are very few trains

My Fijian colleague eats breakfast crackers and we had a whole conservation about them -- I'd seen them at the grocery store but didn't know if they were nice or horrible -- so she got me some

I saw many nice things today but one of them was a cat far too beautiful and clean to be living in the middle of the forest on a tropical island

...I don't think anyone in @kjcharleswriter.com' excellent How to Fake It in Society has a job, exactly. I guess I make paints? I am a professional grade liar? Is that a job? That's kind of job. Con man is a job

Hahah oh man. I've always pictured him as a little younger than that because I think Archie thinks of them as close in age? Actually I don't know where I got that idea. Anyway I have adopted the TV version look mentally now:

The short story where he finds a corpse at a house party Nero made him go to and he goes and calls him like No. I don't want to find this fucking body. I'm waiting for someone else to find it. And then Cramer shows up like well well well if it isn't you again Archie: hey *I* didn't find it Cramer:

@akaharriet.bsky.social reporting back in that the reviews are true: The Nice Guys novelization is actually quite well-written (it's available at my old library online, the ebay auction went to like US$100 and I decided nevermind)

FOUR gunshots! The pause between the third and the last!!! Andy Lau in the most devastating possible ending to this plot. The Departed (2006) could never. "Who wants to trade places with this man?"

Spent 3 days thawing a 2.5kg venison leg steak and 0 days thinking about what else to roast with it. No potatoes or onions or carrots in this house?! Well it's time for a delicious venison apple garlic Hungarian wax pepper rosemary bay leaf oregano roast. GLHF, deer leg

The specialty bao were expensive AND small so I got the same dollar amount of preferred bao and it was just WAY too much but then I overhead a new student telling the intake ppl he needed to get some food so I offered him the rest of them

Boozing with a bit taken out of it so you can see the filling inside

They're beautiful and durable little things, all block colors like a Mondrian painting, and they live in these massive complex colonies with copious hierarchy and roles and tasks. And they spend lots of time lounging in the sun looking insane :)

#6 VERTIGO) ANDY DIGGLE: THE LOSERS - it holds up?? It holds up well, in fact, even with the shadows of the truly abysmal 10-15 years that preceded and overlapped with it. It's tight, it's funny, it's affecting, the art is great. If you liked the second Suicide Squad movie, try it out. NOT for kids.

Clare @claredactyl.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

PETER TOMASI: SUPER SONS - one of the best re-introductions of the Bat/Supes dynamic without getting too bogged down in it. Fully establishes Damian and Jon as characters in their own right; it made them what they are now and had a damn good time doing it. Particularly good for younger kids.

220

Clare @claredactyl.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

JOELLE JONES: WONDER GIRL - comics as it should be!! Everything works together here to create a beautiful, robust, engaging world rich with culture and mythology. Not just suitable but perfect for kids looking for a new character to love. The art is especially beautiful and varied.

JOSHUA WILLIAMSON: GREEN ARROW - you're a DC stan??? name one Green Arrow comic. No, I jest; no gatekeeping here. Still, Green Arrow is not a background player to Batman nor even to Black Canary -- the Arrowfam shines in this with a full ensemble cast. Heavier themes/content, less suitable for kids

Clare @claredactyl.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

TOM TAYLOR: NIGHTWING - you don't need to know who Dick Grayson is to read this but you do need to be ready to love Dick Grayson. A Nightwing book written and illustrated by people who love Nightwing. Thank God. Some more mature themes and violence but good for all comics readers
