And it’s heightened with MCs, which can be very expensive. The question is really, “did I get an insanely good deal?” If you didn’t spend a fair bit and get breeding papers, there’s little to no chance you have a MC.

As a Maine Coon owner, I’m on the MC subreddit, and we get sooo much “is my cat a MC?” questions. Sadly, the answer is almost always, “cute, yes, but not a Maine Coon.”

I remember loving V&V when I was a teen. That is all I remember about V&V. 😅

Yeah mate, I also enjoyed them in my 20s. Was looking forward to re-experiencing them, but… my tastes have changed. 😅 Wouldn’t say I have particularly high literary standards through. After all, I liked your book. 😜

Really though? Tried re-reading them a year or two ago and couldn’t get past the absolutely 2D characters and textbook Gary Stu protagonist. 😬

The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny. Such an underrated classic, and so clearly an inspiration for so much of what came after.

Who knew you could make awesome Star Wars by removing the Force, Skywalkers, lightsabers and jedi, and adding stunning fashion, yeah?

Got to shout out @tansyg.bsky.social’s awesome “Going Rogue” podcast. If you want to fall in love with a movie nerd totally nerding out over how films are made, go forth and listen.

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. 🧪🧵⬇️

Yeah, who knew the way to make great Star Wars was to remove lightsabers, the Force (mostly), Skywalkers and jedi?

Carlos is a mate, and a lovely guy. I strongly recommended he read it (and watch our interview), but I certainly wasn’t the only one. A really different fantasy read! 🙂👌🏻

Paging @franzanth.bsky.social or other crustaceous bsky - top and underside of a crab - can I use carapace and plastron as one would with a turtle? Or is it carapace and apron? Yes there is a crab in an upcoming book.

Yeah, true. They are definitely WEIRD. And they align with what he’s said about higher tech levels than typical medieval(ish) fantasy too. And don’t worry, they’re definitely on my TBR still. 🙂 Was just the wrong time.

Yeah, true. I guess the Claw, and other weirdnesses, pass the “indistinguishable” test.
