It's sad when finding gas at $4.13 a gallon (and everywhere else it's $4.63 or more) feels like winning the lottery.

I’m really having so much fun with these figures. Not since the one of Captain Carrot. I guess it’s the character’s personality that opens so many options. #toyphotography #supergirl

Another prof here. Just finished reading a ton of dense theory essays & books. And here to say: Smut counts. Romance counts. Sci-fi & fantasy & romantasy & detective stories & YA & spy stories—all those things count. And I read most of those in between the heavy stuff.
Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · last mo.I am indeed a professor. I read ugh, theory. I read a lot of history; articles and books. Its because the stuff I read for work is so dark, and intense that I need something to change the gears. So hell yes, I read absolutely trashy romance novels, and I read smut. We can do it all, I believe.

Wonderful review from New in Books! "Magic, espionage, and nonstop adventure collide as Flint Dagger races to stop a villain determined to control all magic." —NewInBooks.com
'Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.'
Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · 2mo agoNo longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
