So incredibly impressed by @discworldemporium.bsky.social. Not only did my order come in less than a week from the UK, the box had all these lovely touches like Discworld stamps (and a Lancre postmark!) So cool!

New episode of EnterpriseSplaining is out today and here's a thing I didn't think I'd be saying: Check out "Unneccessary Torture"! @uajamie.bsky.social tries to explain the episode "The Andorian Incident" to us.

I have been informed that Fenrir is supposed to eat the sun in about an hour. I am not sure this will work unless I sprinkle some treats on the sun, or maybe cover it in peanut butter. Worst case scenario, I suppose I can just shove it down his throat and then hold his mouth shut until he swallows

This is a box from a watch that someone else received at Christmas several years ago. I use it to hold cotton balls and have done so for many years. I also use it to justify the approximately 1,500 other “really nice boxes” that I have stored because “I’m sure I can use it for something.”
