I had dinner at a restaurant in Italy two years ago and now their web reservation system is glitching out and sending me daily reminders of my upcoming reservation on September 4th, 2024, so anyway thank you Trattoria Giovanni I will never forget you <3

As both a bookseller and a parent of two teenage boys, trust me: if you want your young men to read enormous books with obsessive zeal, buy them the Dungeon Crawler Carl series (or borrow it from the library).

Heady empty vibes only, the life I aspire to live #pokopia

A close up of my Pokopia character’s face. Brown skinned humanoid, squarish head with thick purple hair falling over its forehead. Its eyes are two small black dots and its mouth is in a wide, empty smile.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

In 2020 @totallydonna.kitrocha.com & I started a trilogy about 3 book nerds (w/ superpowers) who just want to build a library for their community but shitty tech bros suck so they have to keep doing crimes. Tor was kind enough to put book one on sale for $5.99! www.kitrocha.com/book/deal-wi...

The cover of Deal With the Devil on a background featuring the heroine, Nina, standing on rubble with books in one arm and a gun in the other hand. The ebook cover is on a table with a "Now a Major Motion Picture" sticker that has an asterisk. Next to it is "* actually we're just kind of awkwardly living out the plot in real time but if we pretend it's a movie maybe that makes it more exciting?"

If you’re looking for a fun, antifascist sci-fi multispecies buddy comedy book series (with a very good audiobook version), I highly recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl. I’m on Book 3 and it’s been a blast from start to finish.

"Hobbit Trilogy" this, "Rings of Power" that, when will Warner Bros give the people what they really want: a six hour Houses of Healing movie where Eowyn and Faramir very slowly fall in love

Gus Schlanbusch @zeustav.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Man they just don't make them like Eowyn very often, I mean my girl: > Claps eyes on one man from outside Rohan and goes "yep that's the one" > Gets rejected > Sneaks her way into the army to die > Murders Depression in single combat > Tries to fight her way out of the hospital > Marries Faramir

Also Tolkien's whole "the hands of the King are the hands of a healer" thing, and how the true measure of a leader is the measure to which they can heal, unite, mend, repair, inspire, bridge divides, help those in need...

I love how we spend the entirety of Lord of the Rings with the Fellowship and then at the very end when they're doing all the wrap-up Galadriel and Celeborn show up and are like "oh yeah btw huge battle outside of Lorien after you left, tens of thousands of orcs marched on us, it was all good tho 😇"

Pros of getting back into going to the gym: 1) More energy 2) Can carry more groceries at once 3) General increase in quality of life and decreased risk of illness and death Cons of getting back into going to the gym: 1) Everything hurts and I'm dying
