Let's bring this back!

Standing offer, always valid: Name five books you love, and I will recommend a book I think you'll like. It will likely be queer. It will definitely be sff.
Only one episode of Hazbin Hotel season 2 left. Long episode, too. I hope they spend most of it punching Vox in the television.

Every time I've sat in my new recliner, I've had the same thought: this is what a comfy chair is supposed to bring into one's life. A little hangout space.

Makes up for not being able to go out to my mental health balcony due to the cold.

go turn it on.
I see people saying

“I would use alt text but I keep forgetting!”

Thankfully, @bsky.app has a setting for that.

- Go to Settings
- Then Accessibility
- Toggle “Require alt text before posting” to the active setting.

Now Bluesky will remind you to add alt text to all of your posts.

My most controversial movie opinions is that I don't like The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

It all boils down to one thing: Rick is a terrible dad, and the movie doesn't reckon with that nearly enough.

I just really super hate him.

The only pitas that I found here that are anything like what I recognize as pita are these Frontier bakery mini-pitas I got in some grocery or other.

They are what they say they are: Tiny pitas, that are dough pockets for food.

This evening, lost on what to eat, I made a meal with five of them.

I have two points to make from this.

Both points are in support of Suzan and opposition to the people asking her this.

The first thing is a direct answer to the main refrain Suzan is getting: Who the hell knows? Language is something we can trace back, not predict.
I had a thought. I've been questioned many times, why I put Trinidadian dialect in my novella that is set centuries in the future.

The main refrain was, wouldn't that have been phased out?
And my thought was...would ppl make the same comment if I had used latin? or something latin sounding?

I live in a place where it snows now, and I have childlike wonder about it. Because I didn't experience it when I was a child.

Book Moon has been my bookstore of choice on LibroFM since I started the account. So, despite never having been there or bought a book from them directly, I am a happy customer. Have been since 2022.

Woke up exhausted. Would go back to sleep, but waiting for the recliner to be delivered.

It's not cold inside, but I still feel the cold outside. On the edge of my awareness, all the time.

My body wants to hibernate.

I'm sorry. That's too many pies.

However, you can solve this problem by sending some of them over here.
I think this is a record. We have twenty-two pies for eighteen people.

I'm doing my second attempt at a Gith BG3 run. What messed me up last time was leaning to the Gith roleplay elements, which is a problem with a race of assholes.

This time I'm picking almost none of the race dialogue options, and playing my usual kind hearted heroic enby.

Very sad to see this podcast go. I've been listening the whole time, and so many episodes were so great!
It's our last episode! We're so grateful to everyone who's listened to us for the past 7 years.

We're using this occasion to talk about the state of science fiction and fantasy in the 21st century — and what has shaped the stories we've loved.

Love getting entirely contradictory "information" from my sisters and cousins about money stuff.

Real confidence booster.

There's a reason Celsius zero is the temperature water freezes. Degrees below that just aren't reasonable.

This skeet brought to you by brrrrrr. Also by knowing it will get much colder before it gets warmer.

It is actually quite fascinating how many older cis white Jewish Zionists publicly deride antizionism, transness, queerness, intermarriage, and social justice, and then wonder why us younger generations aren't connecting with the spaces and congregations they run.

It's not TikTok. It's you.

As the person who does most of the VM socials, let me tell you this: bluesky is absolutely the worst platform of the bunch for slapping random adult content warnings on innocent posts to bury them. Would super appreciate if you share the post below like hell, and donate a fiver!
Let's try this again... Glad tidings we bring to you and your quim! We are fundraising this festive period. Earlier this year, the future looked bleak for the Vagina Museum. But we're still here, and there's many reasons for you to become a vital part of our future... www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

I wish Independent Jewish Voices Canada didn't put its local chapters' activities on facebook.

I would like to get involved, but I'm not going to rejoin Zuckerberg's hate machine to do that.
