A couple of months ago, somebody here posted about @bemyeyes.bsky.social . I just did my first call! The person needed help wrapping presents, and while they were wrangling the goodies we talked about just random stuff. A+, 10/10, download the app, it's what technology is supposed to be

Hereโ€™s how much money Los Camp! make from streamingโ€ฆ - Los Campesinos!

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra ยฃ31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been ยฃ12,331 more."

Ah, yes. Well, you may keep that particular vicarious experience, but I'm sipping some Yinghong #9 in solidarity.

We still need to book an actual day for that! Also, I think it is an obligation when you post about tea to tell everyone which tea it is so we can briefly live vicariously through you.

I remember doing the same. I have the vague memory of putting the third book down via a combination of โ€œno one is going to be writing the ship I wantโ€ and finding out the author herself was strongly anti-fanfic, and then just not getting back to it, but they were incredibly readable.

"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water โ€” the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view.
And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone.

"When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.โ€

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de thรฉรขtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธSupreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บCourt of Justice just ruled all ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บcountries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

Whoops, used the characterโ€™s name in my previous post, but yes, I have no idea where โ€œheโ€™s actually a feminist who respects womenโ€ came from.

we dunk on the concept of historical and fantasy characters somehow having a perfect understanding of bdsm safety protocols but i think we also need to free ourselves of putting modern terms for gender and sexuality in the mouths of characters who would've never seen a pineapple.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Either people end up with two cakes (or an edit to your existing work with a link to the old version, which Iโ€™ve also seen), or you find you donโ€™t have the energy to pull together the better version that lives in your head, but youโ€™ve at least gotten this version out into the world.

It might be odd advice, but thereโ€™s also nothing actually stopping you from doing a more polished, overhauled redux later down the line after youโ€™ve released this one?

I was one of the betas for this. Among other things, it filled a previously unknown to me emotional need for Luo Binghe to still have an uncontested home on Qing Jing Peak. The sprinkle of future Qijiu and Bingliushen setup just made it more delicious. Go read it!!!

I staunchly refuse to use it because I predate both the term and the idea, and Iโ€™m not going to use some newfangled word for being (as you said) normal.

Love how you've done the entire piece in just silhouettes! It's got a nice sense of drama to it.

(Mostly) women have been writing rape scenes into their bodiceripper Harlequin romances for ages now. I assure you that itโ€™s not because they either want to be raped or think other people should be.

The only major (legal) alternatives I know for anime are Tubi, which is great but mostly carries older shows, Netflix, and HIDIVE. Does anyone know what the quality of HIDIVE's subs are like?

Itโ€™s also worth pointing out that in many ways fandom *is* a social experience? Especially the way we see him interacting (chatting with others in a forum). Him being an extrovert and being active in fandom isnโ€™t incompatible.

Fair! For an author I trust Iโ€™m generally willing to go off-site, which Iโ€™m sure will apply to others as well.
