Finally got Mr. Tchaikovsky’s newest book, and absolutely love the art on the hardback. @aptshadow.bsky.social your books now take up nearly a quarter of my shelf space. Unrelated, do you know if the paperback of Bee Speaker will match my copies of the previous books?

I ordered a book off Amazon (bad Tess, I know). I was pretty excited to read about feminism and socialism and stuff. But I opened the book and it’s a different book inside! Wtf just happened?

Today I learned that kangaroos have three vaginas and two uteri (and that the plural of uterus is uteri). I’m quite happy with my Friday.

Went into town to grab @aptshadow.bsky.social’s new book before going into work today. If I can mark three papers by lunch, I’ll reward myself with a little reading break 😊

My cat has learned to boop my nose when she wants me to wake up and pay attention to her. I’m impressed but not thrilled.

I would just like to be a taxonomy nerd (a*****e) and note that 3 of these are not really “seabirds.” But carry on…

Plan for the day: write a paragraph. At the very least, a coherent sentence. I'd be happy with a coherent sentence.

After an insanely busy weekend, wasn’t feeling up to doing any proper work this morning. So cleaned my space. Yes I consider this being productive and yes this is an improvement.

On my way home from my first Worldcon. Such an overwhelming and exciting experience. Fun was had. But I also kinda want/need to not see any humans for a while if that makes sense? #Glasgow2024
