Well worth the reading time. So charming. And a remarkably illustrative bit of anthropology. 🙂

Bonus, D&D is a key plot element in this novel and my coauthor has never played, so I am running much of that. Tl;dr I’ve gotten to name and roll up two D&D characters in addition to the main cast.

Yeah, when you’re trying to convey a character in a finite amount of print real estate, you have to lean on every little thing to convey relevant information. That includes the name, which is fundamentally an insight into The Vibes.

Nah, this one is on my co-author. The MMC is her baby, and her refusal to give him a last name has been a running joke. We finally hit the point where it just has to happen.

Literally every time any non-American dunks on the US’s dysfunction, the uniform response from Americans is “yep, we know.”

To quote a redditor, “I find yoga annoyingly effective. Drinking water is also far more than the sum of it’s parts, considering it’s… just the one part. ‘Oh does stretching and breathing consciously and hydrating my jello brain make me feel better? Well fuck you!’ Why am I like this.”

Come for the moving company war stories and presidential debate analysis. Stay for the bonkers story of a grocery chain CEO who, among other things, put chromium- and arsenic-contaminated incinerator waste out with his personal garbage to avoid environmental oversight.

God I love the nuclear block function on this website, I know he’s arguing with you right now and I don’t have to see it. My notifications are like watching a Bob Newhart telephone sketch.

He also followed me shortly after I liked this tweet, which got a hard no block from me. Creepy behavior.
