Same. I stopped by expressly to say that I was yet again randomly thinking how much I enjoyed The Butcher of the Forest this morning and opened Bluesky for the sole purpose of saying that.

I’m not sure Kai-Tristjaan does get through the horrors. It’s not really an uplifting story.

Yeah, there is sooo much going on in those I felt the need to listen to them one after the other. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading do such a great job. (I actually came to the series having listened to Kate reading perform This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafiand knew I needed more Kate Reading

Bernadette Dunne’s reading of Lois McMaster Bujold’s Sharing Knife quartet is a charming delight. Extra bonus if you appreciate down home stylings.

I'm so fucking tired of seeing my trans friends have to think about bathrooms and access to care and just being able to be alive. I want them to be able to just post happy sundress selfies and shitposts about estrogen or whatever. The world is worse for there being less trans joy.

From Bruno to Lysenko, the politically powerful have always slight to distort science to their preferences as if ideology can alter reality. This is a centuries old tradition, one that has only harvested ignorance

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Friendly reminder that you can actually support bookstores that are not part of chain, and that don’t support garbage policies. Your neighborhood bookstore is probably such a good place, and they need your money more.

The architecture of thoughts in story brings me joy today. Soaring spanning structures or crafted fine details, all make up the whole. Story can be magnificent cathedrals or simple vernacular of rough wood sheds, and all of them have their own glories Ask again tomorrow, though, when I hate it

The begs the question of what jobs you’ve encountered. Because the jobs I’ve seen not only require the kind of analytical skills and critical thinking that college train people in, but at a level that many college graduates struggle with. YMMV, I guess

The feel of a fountain pen on rough paper invites ideas like no screen I’ve ever seen. That much seems to be true. As for the candle, I couldn’t possibly say, but if my house burns down, you’ll know why

I am a fan of Duke Ellington’s “if it sounds good, it is good.” I may have spied the culprit in both, as I could sense who was being set up as surprising yet inevitable. No matter, since the real payoff is hearing Ana’s explication, especially as Andrew Fallaize voices her. And that afterword…
