Magic Riot: Full Bloom by @magicariot.com is so flammin' good! Once again Kara captures the feeling of an animated show in text. There's so much I want to gush about with this book. There's something deeply euphoric about this story in a way that I didn't expect.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

When the Earth was green by Riley Black @restingdinoface.bsky.social is a brilliant weaving of science and storytelling that takes you through the interlinking of plants, animals and their environment through time. 🧵

The FBI doesn't need a permanent base of operations in NZ.

Making such decisions that can have far reaching consequences in secret and without consulting the public is deeply undemocratic.

Get the FBI out of here.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Magica Riot is such a fun read.

I wasn't sure how magical girls would translate to text as it's typically a visual thing like TV shows and Manga but Kara @magicariot.com does a fantastic job!

It's got the right mix of character growth, beating up minions of an evil force and lighthearted moments.

Absolutely devoured Once Upon a Punk Show by @kateforrest.bsky.social yesterday.

Fantastic book, with a interesting take on deities in the modern day.

I really love the idea that chaos deities don't CAUSE chaos but are beholden to it.

I'd love to read more stories in this universe.

Today in the lab I picked up a reagent bottle and was stunned for a moment with my brain going "what the hell is Autistic acid?" before realising it was actually Acetic acid in terrible handwriting.

Autism awareness month got me seeing representation in strange places 😂

I've always wanted to get a whole box of boosters. It's so tempting to just tear into them like a gremlin rather than space them out.

So excited for Dragonstorm!

As someone that has only gotten into Magic in the last two years I love it when I find stores that sell bundles of cards like 10 rares etc it gives me a chance to come across cards from sets too old to find packs for. Dune-brood nephilim is weird I love it. 1/2

Currently playing around with a standard mtg deck around the idea of playing with opponents cards.
It is not at all consistent or competitive but the chaos it causes is so much fun.
This is the main gang so far, not sure what else I should include.

My lovely partner surprised me with a handful of Zendikar Rising boosters. Never seen anything from this set before, the party mechanic seems fun. I discovered Murasa Rootgrazer which looks incredible for playing with landfall now I just need to come up with a way of generating token copies!

Reading so many brilliant works by indie authors on bluesky has done wonders for getting my brain out of its post academia funk.

I think I might actually be up for writing something for pleasure rather than for an assignment.

Now I just have to fight my ADHD to follow through.

@callistokhan.bsky.social I can't believe that The Zeus Constant is your first book! It was so much fun to read, I can't wait to see what you do next.

I know there's probably a logic to this that I'm missing but some of the Foundations Jumpstart cards being banned in Standard feels like a poor choice. Take Cynette, Jelly Drover and compare it to Arahbo, the First Fang for example, similar cards yet one is allowed in standard and the other not.

I never expected to pull a card that I can't actually read, it's very pretty though! #Magicthegathering #mtg #aetherdrift

Bride of the Elven Innkeeper by @autumnwolff.bsky.social is lovely and cozy read.

The wedding scene brought to tears at work and made me wish even more than usual that I didn't have aphantasia. I want to see the beautifully described dresses (and girls kissing) inside my head 😭
February 13, 2025 at 11:37 PM
As an avid reader I prefer more limited visual descriptions and typically skip over long descriptions entirely. Not because I like to let my mind fill in the blanks, I have aphantasia and literally cannot imagine the visuals being described.

I would do just about anything to be able to visualise.

#aetherdrift pre-release day!

I thought I'd show a few of the highlight pulls I got today.

First up as the promo card is Mimeoplasm, Revered One with its fantastic art. 1/🧵

I'm trying to avoid seeing too many spoilers for #aetherdrift because I get a lot of joy in discovering cards organically. That being said knowing the set has a ton of vehicles and mounts has me looking at how strong Miriam, Herd Whisperer could be with this release. #Magicthegathering #mtg
