Priory of the Orange Tree books - a short series in number of books but not page count. i haven't read them, but many of my friends have enjoyed The Green Rider series (not super long but decent # of books) i'm assuming you've read Mercedes Lackey, but if not she's got a bunch of series

Scooby Doo meme of Fred pulling off the mask of a "ghost" to see the man underneath it. The ghost is labeled "lower quality at my favorite place," and the unmasked man is labeled "private equity."

First of all: thanks @silencedrowns.bsky.social for the help with picking colors, the lighting in here is not doing it justice with my skin. Second of all, boy do I currently look like a guy who is testing the limits of your friendship by living on your couch

as a particular note about the peculiarities of Texas voting, if your status is listed as "SUSPENSE", despite the wording, that does not mean "suspended" or that you're not registered, it's just that they're going to ask for confirmation of your home address (or similar info)

I am dyslexic. Contrary to popular belief, I am not a bad reader. I am a very good reader. However, I am also a very slow reader. By the time I was in high school, I could not finish a lot of my reading assignments by the deadlines. Graphic novel adaptations saved me.

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

Just woke myself up out of a dream where I was competing in a cosplay contest. as soon as I got next to the stage in the minutes before my go, I suddenly realized I couldn't remember my skit. Also I was doing a skit?? It involved ghosts + set in some period of Japan's past

It's bi visibility day! Remember: bi doesn't mean only men or women, it means attraction to at at least two genders. Also, a cis-seeming relationship could be two gender weirdos in a trenchcoat (it's me, I'm gender weirdos in a trenchcoat)

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”
