When you blocked someone on this platform, I really wish it actually removed their follow rather than just hiding them from my Followed By list (not sure if it hides them entirely or just from my view). I blocked four or five spam accounts this week and yet my follower count hasn't gone down.

Mail day! My @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social Advent-ure Calendars have arrived! Perfect timing to start one tomorrow. This time we've got one 31-day, and two 24-day calendars, so I'll be doing the 31-day for October. As always, I look forward to chatting with Craig in a few weeks at Gamehole Con.

I love it (I do not love it) when I end up picking up book 3 of a series first. While I'm completely in the dark about the references the characters are making to previous events and the nuances of the interpersonal relationships, the story itself is stand alone, so at least there's that.

After nearly 18 months of my boss fighting for it, my promotion at work has finally gone through (effective today). Along with this comes a move from hourly to salary since I was able to skip a level in the job ladder.

In 2 months, I will be in NYC seeing my first play on Broadway. I'm almost afraid to get excited since the first time I tried to see this production on the West End, there was fuckery and the entire trip didn't happen.

After the massive progress made cleaning/organising the basement last month, I have ordered two more shelving units in hopes of even more progress. Hoping this is all I need, but might need one more depending on how much stuff I manage to purge.

Fun mail day. New book by @brandonsanderson.com. Adorable plush. Sticker sheet. The concussion slug is so soft. It’s a good size too.
Hardcover copy of BRIGHTFALL: RIFTWAKE 01 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson standing upright on a desk. 

To the right is a black and bright blue plush slug nearly as tall. 

In front of the book on the desk is a sheet of stickers depicting known species of Taynix (alien slugs) in an array of different colours.

Bubbler sealed it. And apparently Terrace. There were a few that it didn't give you 'I use both of these' or 'I use one or more of these' where I was forced to pick one. I might go back and change those to 'Other' to see if that shifts things much.
A map of the area my idiolect best matches, with the sharpest resemblance spreading across from Wisconsin and the west (including Alaska) and least like Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

I've never watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, but Kelly Clarkson covered "Golden" for her very last Kellyoke on the last episode of @kellyclarksontv.bsky.social, and I've been watching reaction videos to see everyone geeking out. So now I've got that song firmly stuck in my head. youtu.be/py_P2TI-gNg?...

My first office job--not my first job, which was for a phone sex hotline--was in a weird boxy building with no windows. It was entirely possible to go a whole week without seeing the sun during the winter, and most of us got real pale and cranky.
