I mean, I do trrrrry not to ask my decks yes or no answers like that. So if I did and I didn’t like the answer, that would absolutely be on me.

Some decks really just resonate, don’t they? And some tell nothing but lies! 🤣

Oh! I’ve been following Black and the Moon for what feels like a decade. I love her work!

While I love seeing the classics so well supported, there is such important representation in contemporary publications.

Absolutely. It is important. Only, I wish there wasn’t a need for resistance and that communities were coming together for happier reasons. Hopefully in time.

Please do!

…and just exist. So I am very much thinking of you right now. But tell me about the deck you had pre-ordered! In my life it’s always Linestrider season, even when I briefly turn to another deck.

It feels like we live in very very different worlds at times. We went berry picking and waterfall hunting last week, a beautiful day out in the sun, and then I got home and saw the news coming from the other side of the world and it was very, very, sobering. It’s a privilege to put down my phone…

I'm up for an award! Voting is open until January 30th, so go vote!

Wait. What? 👀 I thought I’d done well training W to greet them every time we see one. But this is something else!

Writer problems: drafting one manuscript, outlining another, researching something else, and then being stalked by that new idea that just won’t let you go.

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

Oh, I deleted my whole account ages ago. I immediately felt better for it 😅

Seconding this translation.

🤣 I mean, I’m pretty open to musical genre attributions, though I know some might say they were more post-Britpop than Britpop, but that’s just being pedantic. Mind you, my favourite band is Ash, and they’re from Northern Ireland, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your mother sounds AMAZING! And I truely feel like we would have been great friends in our teenage years. 🤣

Did you by chance ever explore Britpop?

The way I audibly gasped 👀

You know, I don’t think I quite got the first album until after I understood the second. I probably was in my Blink/Green Day era still at the time and not quite sophisticated enough. 🤣

Oooh! That’s a choice. I need to ponder this.

I did reply to Garbage! My teenaged self was obsessed. Obsessed. 🤣

And yes, distance! (Mind you, I’m used to travelling to see bands, but perhaps not quite so far).

Green. With. Envy.

An archival trolley full of requests and only eight pages of useful information—otherwise known as my introduction to a new historical era in our local history room.

How privileged it is to simply click out of the news and go about one’s day.

Admittedly this has left me curious about his definition of ‘bad people’ because I don’t see how you can attend a march like that and still fundamentally be a good person.

More and more of the online spaces I inhabit are being taken over by self censorship through word redaction and emojis, it makes me feel like I’m trying to discuss adult concerns in front of somebody’s preschooler.

We really overcorrected from the anything goes early internet.

spring greets you, cool and bright, as soon as you step outside

And for #InternationalCatDay

Can’t be trusted not to accidentally read the second book in a series first, without even realising there is a first book. 🫥

I was quite curious that the ABC referred to Rockcliff as premier, even when he has not yet formed Government.
