We played a brutal game of Root last night. I stomped the Eyrie to dust but then those fucking skunk bandits stole my victory. The badgers were also there.

Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.
A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".

Currently reading through @aptshadow.bsky.social's Tyrant Philosophers series and I think Yasnic is really a kind of Rincewind. He seems to always end up in situations that he didn't ask for and he has a weird box.

A staff member from another department was sent to us to get help setting up the Wi-Fi on her phone, because 'the library staff are nicer than ITS' It was also the first day of class, so we were VERY busy helping new students.

i just took one of the lime bikes from beacon hill park back to my house and it was incredible. I'd been waffling about getting an ebike because i wasn't sure if I'd use it but i think this has been a good way to test out the idea

They're trying to capture a moment, the same way the high school football star wants to relive his glory days and forget the blunt trauma to the head he suffered. And they need to start looking for magic in their future, and not grasp at curls of poisoned smoke from their past.

They're not interested in reading Diane Duane or Diana Wynne Jones or probably fifteen hundred other Dianes or Dianas who wrote better coming of age stories about child magicians, because there aren't millions of other people reading them at the same exact moment.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

If you’re a person who says things like “librarians are magical”, you should also be a person who says things like “library worker labor should be fairly compensated and supported”.

What if metre long spikes shot up alongside crosswalks whenever the pedestrian light was on? Do you think drivers would be less inclined to violate my space and safety if there was a risk of severe property damage to their vehicle?

Gina @gointy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
If cars are stalled in the crosswalk because they decided they couldn't just wait for the next light, I will walk in front of them. I haven't been brave enough yet to climb onto one though.

If anyone ever wants to argue that local history and historians are not important, then this should put that to rest. But for Catherine Corless and her labour none of these would have been searched for.

Garffeld
Three panel comic of an homage to the first Garfield strip, but Jon is a monk and Garfield is a medieval rendering of a cat. In the first panel, Jon says, “HWÆT, LAM JON ARBUCKLE. I AM A MONK, AND THIS MY CATTE, GARFFELD.” In the second panel, Garffeld is thinking, “ HWÆT, I AM GARFFELD. I AM A CATTE, AND THIS IS MY MONK, JON.” In the last panel, Jon says, “OUR ONLY THOUGHT IS TO GLORIFY GOD.” Garffeld thinks, “FEDE ME.”
