I'm furious because, once again, someone thought that this was a good place to dump a house wyvern! Why can't people be responsible and surrender them to a shelter? Just because it says "sky" does not make turbines safe. The blades can cut dragon scale! House wyverns can't even fly that high!

Tales & Feathers Magazine@talesfeathers.bsky.social · yesterday

As a sky turbine repair tech, you're used to finding strange things caught in the mechanisms. Tiny dragonlet hoards stashed in gearboxes, or drifting spellweave wrapped around the blades like cotton candy. What do you carry down from the clouds with you today? #TinyTalesTuesday #WritingPrompt

This is tomorrow! I will try to limit myself to One comment about Andor!!

Is it a novel or a midlife crisis?

THE SIX-INCH OF HER DREAMS OK BYE

Listen. You need this today. @roseciesla.bsky.social shared this link about an author incorrectly getting ROASTED for calling a Wawa food item ‘sub’ not ‘hoagie’. (yes…'food item'; I'm from New England, I don't want to also be roasted) www.inquirer.com/news/nation-... I BEGGED her to cook. 🧵

A rom-com author caught heat for using the phrase ‘Wawa sub’ in her new book. She’s defending it.

B.K. Borison's new book, "And Now, Back to You," includes a line about ordering a "sub" — not a hoagie — from Wawa. Some readers are horrified. Now, the author is doubling down.
