For folks interested in writers from Pittsburgh, mystery novels, and/or spiritualism in the 1920s

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, for that is not dead which can eternal lie - and, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Finally saw the Star Tours segment with Hux (fun!) plus a bunch of the TROS segments which mostly served to prove how weirdly bad that movie was. 200 star destroyers aren’t scary, those things have the turning circle of a planet

Me and who

Kid can’t get enough of @ironwood.bsky.social ‘s Pacific Drive so we’re blasting the soundtrack while driving in the fog. Hope we don’t run into any anomalies

At this point would it actually be that bad to all get replaced by the Thing?

The scam comments on AO3 are really depressing

Turns out boxing can be interesting, who knew?

The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 will go. Well this is just how all my years go, it’s just a question of which character I am. Maybe I’ll be Tom Waits this year. I felt sure this would be My Girl but apparently that trauma was my ninth birthday party.

Happy solstice y’all! Sun came back!

We’ve only got eight kinds of cheese in the fridge. Do you think that’ll be enough to last til the new year?

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

This scene but it’s me listening to my fav Star Wars podcast fast-forwarding past the ReyIo bits 🤢

If anyone's open to a New Year's resolution suggestion, please try volunteering for a non-profit! It doesn't necessarily mean showing up in person to do physical labor. Just think about a cause that is important to you and consider what skills you have. 🧵

Combined two Choly Knight patterns to make a Lego Jurassic Park style dilophosaurus for a very young dino fan.

It’s a shame we can’t split public toilets by standing, sitting, and weirdos-who-cant-stop-thinking-about-other-people’s-bits 🙄

Just let people go for a piss, for Christ’s sake. Do you have any idea how insane it looks to have a cadre of mean-as-fuck official toilet monitors as your national equalities regulator.

Even in the midst of the homophobic 1980s, when Section 28 was spawned, I don’t recall any BBC freelancer being hauled off the air for expressing support for gay people.

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

if santa needs an elf on a shelf to report my crimes, maybe he’s not as omnipotent as he claims. maybe he can be killed

Today in “I’m too autistic for to deal with the English language”- uniform code says beanies but no woolly hats. I thought the teacher meant no bobble hats, but no, she “definitely means woolly”. But… you can get really fine wool fabric. And most hats aren’t pure wool anyway… look at these pictures!

It’s that time of year again, would any of my moots like a winter holiday card from me?

Illustrator- “Why do you want paying to draw stuff?“ I.T.- “Why do I need to check the outputs when Al can do it for me?”

I started trying to pick things to make fun of, and I wanted to describe moving through the house, and then I realized there's no door. There's literally no door. There's no entrance to the house.

Learning this is fun. Knowing things is infinitely useful. Education shouldn’t just be a tick box towards a job, it’s a method of exercising your brain, opening your horizons, & the satisfaction of the Right Knowledge at the Right Time. Everyone should be able to learn stuff just because it’s there

I will never understand how anyone manages to write in a coffee shop 😭

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild: Black swamp snake American alligator Common hoopoe Red deer Emu (tbf the emu was owned but had escaped and was ten miles from home, running down a duel carriageway.)

Think it's important to note that Unbound is still dicking over their (former) authors. Don't pay them, buy from places that are actually paying the authors!

I’m being forced to watch Ronin (1998). Again. What’s the most insufferable musical I can put on next?

Tenth anniversary, I guess I should do this… if you don’t recognise the name [Jedi hand wave] you don’t need to look into it

Share a TV series you've watched beginning to end more than once. So many to choose from (just finished B5 for like the eighth time), gonna go with a more obscure one everyone should watch if they get the chance

My 12yo keeps wandering into the room just to tell me Half-Life 3 won’t be announced today.
