Hey @benaaronovitch.bsky.social! Is a Rivers of London TV series still a go? I've been really looking forward to it but haven't heard any rumblings recently. cc: @dria.bsky.social

@stephenmarche.bsky.social just caught the end of your interview on CBC. I can't wait for another season of Gloves Off, the first one was so good!
I got the steward number for our little free library today! I can't wait to get it properly registered and get it stocked!
Actual video of @tomflood.bsky.social going for a run after a week off.
We all have days like this
“I asked ChatGPT”- ok well I asked the mycelium and it said to plant more trees and to tell you to return to the forest
The lettuce got big too. Time to transplant to my bigger hydroponic system. Pics from 10 days ago vs now.
Operation Vegetation is a go! Peppers and tomatoes and some odds and ends. The rest get started in a week or two.
If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story. Please signal boost.
Our release for @peculiarityshop.bsky.social was a wild success. Half the items were gone by day one. I still have three weeks to Halloween and spooky stuff I'd love to move. 20% off. LGBTQIA+ staffed and owned! www.peculiarityshop.com/halloween2025 www.peculiarityshop.com/nightborne

Don’t forget to fill the survey. The boat & jet ski people will. They have the whole lake & there are so few proper swimming areas.
🚨Survey on the boat excursion zone. Please fill it out. Some boaters have been upset & threatened to disrupt Hanlans beach (speed camera vigilantes but on water). We need more fortified & larger swim zones like in the EU w ropes/floats to keep boats & jet skis away from swimmers. 🚨
Spent the afternoon cooking summer produce and I'm pooped. Zucchini arugula soup, tomato soup, plum anise jam, pickled zucchini, jerk peach hot sauce is done. Quick pickling hot peppers tomorrow, maybe also making a hot pepper relish.
When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.
I need to do so much gardening this weekend. Autumn harvest things need to be planted now. Late summer veg needs to be picked (I need to do something with these tomatoes omg). Hydroponics need to be cleaned out and prepped, seedlings need to be started. It all feels a bit overwhelming.
Weird run today. I felt like I had lots of energy but the legs were lead, one knee was crampy. Still, gave it everything I had and now it's done. And that's the halfway mark! 4 more weeks until 5k!
Week three complete. I can't wait to get back on track so I can finish on Saturday next week. Sunday runs suuuck.
This is important and you should read it. The Hugos really need to do better.
Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Absolutely brutal training run this morning. I have to keep reminding myself that these are the building runs; these are the ones that make you strong. Muddling through 6 more hours of work when all I want is a snack and a nap. 😴
Finished week 2/8 of my couch to 5k trainer today. Managed to get a little more speed in and I feel really ready for next week's runs. I'm excited to get back to it! I put it off for far too long.
A day late, but week one of my couch to 5k training is complete. Only 7 more to go!
Last week was kind of a bust but I've started my 5k training in earnest this week. I'm pretty excited to get back to it. I'm dying to drop the weight I put on stress eating through the pandemic, and looking very much forward to signing up for some races again.
