Amazing breakfast at the Hope St Cafe in Brissie, which is also a wonderful social enterprise. (That's not sourdough on my plate; it's a slab of delicious potato hash! 😋)

I mean... I feel like if he wants open-source social media, he could just work on Mastodon? What the twitter refugees seem to want is actual moderation options, to create a safer space to build community. (You can't have a space where wolves and sheep are welcome. Only wolves like that space.)

Someone I know is doing a survey about who ships what (you can see it in the preview lol, they explain it way better than I am T__T). It's super quick to fill out and once you do it, you can repost it or share it to your friends/followers!

REBEL BLADE (Dec 2024) finishes up my Burnished City trilogy, with its disaster bi protagonist (and his lost lover), but will also include a sapphic development
In short: be queer, break reality and/or bring down the government!

My husband's work set-up involves a lightning cable. He plugs it into one port, everything works fine. He plugs it into the other one, he gets no sound on video conferencing. Tech is a magical thing

I mean, like... what I WANT is for her to put him on his knees and for him to be wildly, shamefully into it, and then for them both to catch feelings, and I don't think the game will hit the spot on that... but I will keep my eyes open for opportunities 😆

ooh, can I? I was having a look for a button like that (because I didn't put all this work into my character's hair to not admire it all the time!) but I couldn't find it on cursory inspection. I'll have a closer look!

Maybe eleven hours into this, and the amount of that time I have spent singing "I don't know what I'm dooooiiiiiing" is not to be underestimated Also why are all of the hats so stupid? Everyone in my party looks like a doofus, especially me

(Sorry, missed this one when my kid got sick; never too late for dragon though!) Waking a dragon who trashed a quarter of the upper city, including the Palace of Justice itself, was a new low, even for him, but Siyon wasn't going to make the mistake of thinking he'd found something he couldn't top.

On my plan for cleaning the house before holiday time, today is supposed to be vacuuming everything, but the kid (who hates the vacuum) is home sick, and that means the cat (who also hates the vacuum) is prowling nervously, and fine maybe everything just stays dusty

The building was wreathed in ivy still covered in leaves despite the winter chill, except those leaves were a deep purplish green, and seemed to reach out as she passed. Just one more oddity in a city now full of them.
