On Canadian Thanksgiving, I am not going to give thanks for anything current or political. I’ll be uncool and sincere and offer, as always, thanks for the parents I had, how they raised us, and sent 3 of us out into the world. As I get older, I am even more aware of what a gift that was, and is.

I'd love to see this echoed more across the country. Provincial leaders don't get to plant a flag and somehow claim ownership of either natural resources or infrastructure just because they want to.

This was indeed interesting (and infuriating) re the whole ostrich situation. Reposting without further comment.

A very comprehensive & informative thread on the ostrich farm situation. Dr. A. Rasmussen, someone who understands the science as a virologist responds to questions posed by assclown "VivaFrei" after declining to be interviewed by him. She sums him up nicely too!

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

a small brown dog leaps up from behind a pile of crunchy brown leaves. her eyes and mouth are open wide, and her big floppy ears are extended out like wings to either side.

4.25⭐

I don't have the spoons for writing reviews currently, but I can say I enjoyed this a lot.

If you're looking for a murder mystery - with some queerness, set in Oxford - in the style of Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle then this is for you.

Plus, excellent editing!

Readers! I just posted a new short story for free (via Bookfunnel). It's my new reader magnet. It's called Nepherous, and ties back to my award-winning novella Majordomo. If you're interested, and especially if you liked Majordomo, have a read on me. bookhip.com/RTJFBAZ

Loving son, apprentice, prodigy... necromancer

When he discovers a once-in-a-generation talent for necromancy, mild-mannered Nigel Newberry must choose between his former priorities—pleasing his mother, learning the healing crafts, and marrying his village sweetheart—and potential greatness… using a magical art most people believe is evil.

The best Pratchett book IMO. Half of it is the best part and the rest merely great.

Everyone:

Your job, on this fine Sunday, is to read
@tbcart.bsky.social's novella Majordomo.

It is a joy. Terrific characters, frequently hilarious storytelling...and often absolutely heartbreaking. Best kind of story.
