This week has been so long that it's hard to believe A Lion Among Lambs just came out Tuesday.

But if you're interested in a 6.1k historical fantasy tale of WLW lust, obsession, betrayal, and murder, do I have a story for you:

www.huldrahouse.com/shop/p/a-lio...
huldrahouse.itch.io/a-lion-among...
Cover image of a book/short story called "A Lion Among Lambs", written by Kaya Skovdatter. Background is a tangled forest. In the foreground stands a figure with their back to us, bearing a shield and one-handed axe. Her hair is done up in braids, and her uncovered back, right arm, and axe are covered in glowing yellow tattoos and sigils. The entire image is cast in an ochre haze. The title is overlaid against the cover image, its text matte white.

sorry not sorry
Screenshot of text block: Growing up in NZ, we didn't have Sprite. Instead, the Coke-affiliated lemonade was a different brand, Leed, sold in a wasp-waisted green glass bottle. It wasn’t only NZ, I gather: they also had it in Australia, and in the UK. But Leed was supplanted by Sprite sometime in the 80s. Lately, I grew curious to know why. I found a long internal report, online, which explored this. Over two hundred and fifty pages of dry historical content. How was it possible to write this much about a now-defunct brand of lemonade? They could have summarised the report's key points at the document's start, but they didn't. Instead, I had to read through the first one hundred and eighty pages before I got to the truth of the matter: that the brand had been rendered unpopular by the introduction of new and inappropriately fruity flavourings. That's right, they berried the Leed.

VO artists and writers - do you have any good resources to find and listen to regional accents? The bbc voices one doesn’t seem to work anymore. And unless you actually know the accent well, it’s hard to know what’s true on YouTube.

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it
Screenshot: serialephemera Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part! should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

It is rare that I dredge up old news but this woman hurt too many good people in this community to be allowed to slither her way back in. "But she was nice to me!" Yeah, she was nice to me too. Because she wanted something & when she didn't need something from me, I didn't exist to her.

We're halfway through January already and I don't do resolutions. But @alasdairstuart.com only published the first #FullLid of the year on Friday, with a wee re-statement of its entirely sincere and enthusiastic mission to make us aware of cool stuff. Consider it a weekly Power-Up.

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics
An image of a volleyball against a blue background. The text says: In my home state of Massachusetts, ICE is hunting a man who has an expired visa. They find the man’s car, but the driver is just the man’s son, a teen heading to volleyball practice. ICE arrests the teen. A conversation between two people in speech bubbles: “Do you know why you’re under arrest?” “No.” “Because you’re illegal. You’re an immigrant.” “Ma’am, I was seven years old.” Then, text at the bottom says: The teen is put into a concrete cell with 35 men. The community rallies behind him. There's an image of yard signs with the smiling face of the teen that say Free Marcelo. Some quotes from locals: “He’s one of our brothers. Without him, it just kind of feels like a dark, empty room.” -volleyball team captain. “This administration isn’t keeping us safe by putting 18-year-old honors students in prison.” -MA Rep. Moulton In the cell, the teen helps translate for those who don’t speak English. Many are ill. After 6 days, he’s released. There's an image of a hand and arm, with a crinkly foil bracelet tied around the wrist. Wearing a bracelet that another detainee made him from one of the thin mylar blankets they were given, he says: “ I don’t want to cry. But I want to say...nobody should be in here.”

While I understand the urge in the UK to get rid of US military bases because of Tr*mp, it's only a short hop to ppl in the street being aggressive to anyone sounding American. Hi. I'm British. I'm not a US citizen. But my accent doesn't reflect my passport. How long until I'm attacked for it?

Back when everything had 12 or 24 episodes a season, the sixth script broadcast was usually the one where you could see the show figuring out what it was. I wonder what the number is for our present hellscape.

The news about people losing their eyes to less lethal rounds is a good time to remind people to buy goggles if you are going to a protest. Look for ones with an impact-resistant rating of ANSI Z87+ High-velocity impact rating or ANSI Z87.1+ High-velocity impact rating. Ideally, rubber not foam seal

So quick question - what's the best site to get pretty much a list of all music releases daily? Allmusic I find tend to leave a lot out and Album Of The Year's good but sporadic.

This is great - very enthused by the interdisciplinary theme, and the architecture focus of this ep is right up my street.

I especially enjoyed the proposal that the big question of High-Rise is “why don’t they just leave?” I think we can all relate.
