Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter! A human will sleep better not second guessing a human (Ok, I’m still not clear on the rules on the gnoll lack of pronouns but that’s not going to keep me up :)

@tkingfisher.com important question as I lay here reading before sleep… Is the gnole silent or pronounced?

“Oh, so because I support Trump/MAGA, that automatically makes me a bigot?” To be clear: With absolute certainty, YES. Without doubt, YES. A million times, YES. As sure as the turning of the Earth, YES. Truer than anything that’s ever been true, YES.

Given a ‘black box’ of cellular radio equipment that has NO external antenna jacks… how would YOU improve its reception? (T-Mobile home internet cell modem/router/wireless AP) (An earlier vision of this hw DID have antenna jacks. I do NOT understand why they removed them.)

OED cites back to 1544 for military usage of the term … the man is a shit bag, but not entirely wrong here. (miracles sometimes happen)

Enjoy The Heck Out Of Life @ethool.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

2.1544–Military. A charge, attack, or incursion into enemy territory made from a position of defence; a sortie, raid, or military expedition. See also alarms and excursions, a phrase originally used chiefly with reference to theatrical representations of battle, and still in humorous extended use./2

While it’s quite possible that he did fuck up, as you believe, likely even, it’s not new usage: Oxford English Dictionary, “excursion (n.), sense 2,” December 2025, doi.org/10.1093/OED/1029294381. 1/2

fiiiinally catching up with the last few birthday doodle requests; this one came from @invertebabe.bsky.social on insta: "cephalopod with a scuba suit ready to take over land"

Ink on paper drawing of a green cuttlefish riding a skateboard and wearing a SCABA (self-contained abovewater breathing apparatus) tank. It's a rebreather, with one hose bringing oxygenated water into the mantle and another hose at the siphon taking water away to have more oxygen added. The cuttlefish is also wearing a mask to keep water over its eyes so it can see better on land.

I go, on average, to more SD weekends and conventions annually than I do SF Cons these days - which is STILL very weird for me to contemplate. I think it's a worthwhile hobby 🙂 - though for some reason most SD organizations refer to it as our 'activity'. Actionable info in the next post! 2/
