rolling my eyes at people being like "I got mine, just work harder" when I'm asking for just a reasonable way of making the work a little bit lighter. okay, thanks for your SO helpful comment, that really changes things for me! 🙄

ARKADY (1985) Acrylic on Canvas - 32” x 20” Having passed through terrible destruction, the former hub of the Galaxy in Isaac Asimov's classic opus is now a pastoral world. #bookssky #art 🪐📚
With a leather bag over her shoulder, a young woman with red hair stands on a metal platform set against a pastoral backdrop and blue skies. She wears an olive green jacket and striped shorts with yellow tights. Caught mid-step, she turns her head toward the audience. The angle of her legs are a mirror of the twisted metal of decaying towers that collapse into each other.

While it may seem unnecessary to many of you, today seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trans Rights Are Human Rights and the trans community will always have my axe.

If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

hello, adventurer. before you is a seasonal quest. if you play it the moment it goes live, you must avoid spoiling NPC cameos and story for at least 24 hours, so that everyone else can enjoy the surprises too. if you fail, the giant anvil on a rope over your head will fall.

At least this time, that artist's bio was basically "That One Character Enjoyer" so I could just block them without more than a cursory glance. Curate your space!

nobody finishes a book and concludes “that was great; now I shall never read another one.” other writers are your teammates and coworkers, not your competition.

And tier 3 takes a lot more work and knowledge for most jobs and most people never hit it and don't need to, and that's totally fine. When you're talking about difficulty, which part are you talking about? Because the difference is important to the discussion.

Kestrel/Sarria | still too many books in progress @kestrelknight.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
These are all different questions with different answers for different jobs. Most are pretty easy for that first tier, but not all, and some have hiccups as they jump from expac to expac. A number of jobs are pretty easy to get to tier 2, but some require more work/knowledge than others.

2- Is it hard to get good at/comfortable with? Do the skills evolve and ogcds/gcds feel natural to switch between, or does it take practice/knowledge to get good with it? 3- And finally, what does it take to be REALLY good at the job? What does peak performance look like and what does it require?

Kestrel/Sarria | still too many books in progress @kestrelknight.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Saw a video being like "what's the hardest mage job in FFXIV" and I know it's just a headline but the thing is that it's not a specific enough question for me. 1- Is it hard to learn? Does it walk you through the progression of skills in a way that makes sense, or do you have to look it up?

*better, I should say I hope the pacing got BETTER as the series went on. It was mostly too slow though. Like 60% too slow, 20% too fast, and 20% on target.

Kestrel/Sarria | still too many books in progress @kestrelknight.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
yay for getting published, that is ALWAYS an accomplishment, but man. I hope the worldbuilding got better and then pacing got faster as the series went on because the first book was both too slow and wordy and somehow also way too fast and full of whiplash.

Royals from warring/almost warring nations trying to make peace with an enemy that frightens them and finding a way forward together and learning about each others' cultures and peoples and doing it because peace is more important than revenge - fucking. CATNIP.

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.
