Too hot to be a sweater witch until Monday. So... perhaps I will be a coffee goblin. That doesn't require good posture, does it?
Edmonds Scanner@edmondsscanner.bsky.social · 2h agoIf you don't feel like yourself today, choose a disguise to wear into the world: - forlorn tugboat captain - coffee goblin - librarian of darkness - sweater witch - slightly sexy shrub - mossy weird shape
#AskDV I’ve never queried before, (probably far from that point) but I am curious to know if there’s a standard formula to writing a query? Or is formulaic something that is not in the best interest of a query?
Tove's illustrated version of the Hobbit arrives soon in English for the first time. I love Tove and her work. Here's a thread with some thoughts about one of her most (in)famous #Tolkien pieces.

Share a TV show that raised you ... it's got to be The Simpsons. I religiously watched it from as far back as I can remember, up until around 2009. Other shows I could put on here: WWF Raw and WCW Nitro, Friends, South Park, Batman The Animated Series, Justice League, Dragon Ball Z.

Probably my most controversial gaming opinion is that I didn't really like Bioshock 1. I had fun playing it but the gameplay felt pretty stiff to me and I wasn't all that interested in the story.
Substitute "you are reading a book" and there it is: why lots of us read.
Ann Leckie@annleckie.com · 7h agoOk, so, No Man's Sky just had a huge update and it's cool and awesome and then the reddit becomes deluged with "but what's the point of [new mechanic]?" and I'm like, my sibling in the Atlas, you are playing a game. The only point is to have fun.
Erm ... sigh ... preparing to crumble to dust.

Of late my weekdays are driving one way across town, working, driving home for a fast lunch, driving across town in the opposite direction, working, driving home. Third job on the weekend. My poor exhausted car. My poor exhausted brain. And don’t even get my started on my sad, scuffed boots 🤣🤣

Ok I don't know how things work in other countries but if you give me an incomplete address, name and no postal code, there's a very high chance that the package will be lost. It happened once for a customer and now I check on google map if the address will put on some street for it.
