Absolutely tore through this one - stayed up way too late reading it and then greedily read the rest at lunchtime. Another fine adventure, @seananmcguire.bsky.social - I'll save the novella for another day.

I write about Lanterns, whose final episode airs next week. ieatmedia.tumblr.com/post/8290487...
Lanterns (with spoilers)

A Saturday night that involves eggy prawn hor fun and delightful conversation with a dear friend is just the thing.
Clearly I’m not in the mood for anything too brainy, and kids tv fits the bill.
Also fun - Lego Mandalorian, a silly and charmingly self-aware recap of the tv shows. Watch if you’ve already seen them.
