::sigh:: One day, maybe someone who wants to tell a version of Lizzie’s story will take a run at MAPLECROFT instead of…quasi true crime or whatever. Just let her fight Cthulhu with the axe; might as well get real weird and gay with it.

So my favorite recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is by Anne Akiko Meyers—fantastic dynamic range, her instrument’s tone is exceptional, and I just love her phrasing. Went to check just now if there is video and y’all, DECISIONS WERE MADE. Like teasers. The goth winter is best. youtu.be/spNh_HujVRc

Maaaaaybe there’s another reason for this, but: ISBNs in Canada now face a 2-month backlog that didn’t exist before and they are saying it’s because of a sudden influx of requests. Are thousands of Canadians suddenly writing real books, or…is it a few butt nuggets cranking out AI slop?

This pipe was actually the most interesting part of Nosferatu How many foot-pounds of suction is required to operate it What is it made of and how is it cared for Where can I get one Will my writer friends join me in a castle in the Scottish Highlands to smoke them and curse the techbros

Farmers market pics: 1) A SHELFIE 2) Was looking for invigorated ham jam but all I found was purple yam jam 3) The buns made with said yam jam 4) Pickles, impishly displayed for the entire pickle-obsessed subculture

Damn, every time I see Mamdani do a new thing to make New Yorkers’ lives better I am so happy for them and so blazingly angry that the rest of us can’t have nice things because our politicians are hosers

The CBC News dude on the radio is going through it today, audibly frustrated that every single thing he’s reading is grim af He’s like can you give me ONE sentence about a puppy Or maybe “In Vancouver, they saved an otter, and that’s your news” Maybe I can send some flowers to the studio

I've been slow racing my way through the Iron Druid Chronicles by @kevinhearne.bsky.social lately. I started Hunted late last night, read more at breakfast & had to pause at the absolute WORST moment ever 😱. Just read the next chapter & whew, I can breathe again. Fans of #Dresden will like this!

Sometymes evil doth seeme so powerful that the heart groweth sick. But ther ys comfort yn the fact that evil ys an aberration. Our default settinge ys lovinge each othir and lookinge out and takinge care. We smyle at children. We give somebodye bus fare. We share advyce. Kyndenesse brought us heere.
