Public transport isn't just for Middle Earth. Narnia's getting in on the act!

I've drawn a subway map covering all 7 books of The Chronicles of Narnia. Follow the plots lines, but don't touch the third rail! #Narnia #Maps #Subway

You can buy prints on my Etsy store:
www.etsy.com/listing/4345...

A subway style map on a parchment background. The map's title reads: "Narnia Transit Map: Talking Beasts Ride Free." The map has seven keys, one for each of the seven books in C.S. Lewis's Narinia series. The main movements of characters and action in each book are traced by colored lines, like a subway map. Locations in each book are marked out as stops in the lines. There is a drawing of a lion above the title of the map, and in the lower right corner there is a compass rose.

Gotta love how lives are being wrecked, industries are being stripmined, and the world is being torched, just so a few warped executives can tug their milky little twiglets over the impossible fantasy of a world where products are made for free and sold for thousands to unemployed people.

The hero's journey circle but it says THE FOOL'S ERRAND and the guy on the top has a little jester's hat. Stages are

It's time for everyone's favorite chronologically unanchored holiday, The Story of the Lizard in the Leg.

Seanan McGuire @seananmcguire.bsky.social · Sep 30

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats:

1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

(the chuffed link is below the bottom post🙏😞)

A picture of my arm sling sitting in my lap with the name of the clinic blacked out, and I am showing the metadata on the phone so you can see the date and time

Here I have taken a shot of the urgent care orthopedic room from my point of view while both the doctor and NURSE were out of the room and I was in there by myself also with the same timestamp for proof I don’t know what else I can say this is the third or fourth time I’ve been to this orthopedic clinic for exacerbation due to work and now I have at least one surgery to look forward to and possible permanent or worse complications with my grip strength and motor motor skills with my dominant hand

You might think it odd that Japan has two cities whose names are anagrams - Tokyo and Kyoto - but this is actually quite common! For instance, there's the cities of Perth and Threp (Australia), Budapest and Pastedub (Hungary), and Salt Lake City and Silky Lactate (United States of America).

D66 Things Guards Say When You Pass A Stealth Check (Fantasy)

This is a D66 table which is too long to fit into the alt text. It's 36 different things a Guard might say when you pass a stealth check. Here's a selection, anyway:
“Huh. Guess it must have been the wind.”
“Blimey, the size of the size of the rats ‘round here!”
“I must be tired.”
“Don’t bother. This place makes all sorts of weird noises.”
“You’re hearing things! You ought to lay off the whiskey.”
“Guess it was nothing.”
“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.”
“Go on, get out of here!”
“I’m not checking it. You check it.”
“Come on, who’d try to sneak in here?”
“Ugh. I hate this job.”
“Any more noises like that and I’ll be forced to stand up and take a look.”
“I don’t feel like getting shanked in the ribs tonight. Just let it slide.”
“What you mean, ‘strange noise?’ Sounds like a perfectly normal noise to me.”
“My doctor said I’m not supposed to investigate mysterious sounds after 6pm.”
*aimlessly whistles a sea shanty, and dreams of their true purpose: sailing the mighty ocean*
“Ohhh, my aching back! I can barely stand up straight, let alone search for intruders!”
“Geoffrey? Is that you? I’ve told you not to do the hiding thing any more. It’s dangerous.”
“I think someone must have left a window open somewhere.”
to themselves: “Don’t be scared. Shh. There’s no such thing as ghosts.”
“Probably just a harmless drunk. They kip in here sometimes.”
“Hey, your shift’s over! It’s my time to guard. Let me have this, Sylvia.”
reading aloud, weeping: “Dear Erik. I am very sorry, but I must leave you. I’ve found a new lover. He wants to start a family. I can’t wait for your promotion any longer.”
“No, no: my grandfather told me about a time he investigated a nearby disruption. I’m not going to make the same mistake.”
