Well, did you play it?

"your music"

I really enjoy all her work but the recent two romance-inflected ones are great. I also just binge re-read Laurie Marks' Elemental Logic books and now I'm reading Juliet McKenna's The Green Man's Heir which is pretty good

Hate this feeling! Was gonna rec the new KJ Charles but I see there's no need. New Martha Wells? New Zen Cho?

My working theory is that a series binge gives you the perfect balance of the comfort of a re-read and the interest of something new.

that sounds extremely nice tbh

Done! Under the wire.

Holy shit thanks its been sitting in my bag all week

They are so silly and it's so good

Hell yeah

I am forcing myself to read Queen Demon really slowly and I'm doing it by alternating reading a couple of chapters with spinning up some fluff and it's the perfect way to spend a windy wet day UNLIKE working

When you're done with the work week but inexplicably teh work week is not done with you

Year of the Griffin mentioned!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Your walk to work is enviable

On the other hand I do think this would be very interesting for local body!

Additionally if our lot don't show up, either to a select committee or to the House, on each day the House is sitting, they don't get paid. (Unless they have the permission of their party's leader.) I believe unpermitted absences are recorded in the weekly journals and they are very uncommon.

It's pointless in an NZ parliamentary context because the vast majority of our votes are whipped party votes so you don't get any information out of a list of someone's votes except for the three to five conscience votes per Parliament.

On my recent visit to #TiritiriMatangi island I took this video in the forest. The birdsong here is extraordinary. I’ve never heard anything like it.

it does feel different! It feels like a range of textures as I do different mediocre-beginner-spinner things to it, haha. But yeah you can squish some stuff!

me sleeping with both eyes open

me making you drive to my house to help me deal with the Bug Scenario

a beautiful but terrifying image. like the james corden musical tweet, it's too possible

I mean, this does ... sound like me ...

(I did obviously watch a video about someone prepping silk the other day but even she was doing it from pre-washed cocoons)

Anyway you kill the moths before they become moths if you want to get the really fancy silk

okay I am not up to prep yet I am buying myself highly prepared ready-to-spin fibres. like yes. obviously I will get there. but not yet

this is such a sad picture

not that sassy
