I switched to Pocket Casts, and not only do they not advertise for 🧊 they have way fewer ads overall!

@hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social’s latest episode on “The Tainted Cup” is absolutely hysterical. I was cackling so hard while doing dishes; my wife checked in with me multiple times

Grandma got her bookmarks today, which is also her 84th birthday! She said they made her day!

Thank you to everyone who shared the original post, to @loopslip00.bsky.social for finding them on eBay, and to @johncoxon.bsky.social for shipping them from the UK 🥹
Your favorite podcast grandma recently lost a leather bookmark she got in Ireland 30 years ago on a trip with her father. She is so, so sad about it. Hoping to replace it for her, but I've scoured the Internet with no luck so far.

Anybody got any ideas? Similar to the ones in the photo (sold out 😓)

When we griped to each other after SF trivia at dragoncon that the questions included basically no women, a (seemingly well-intended) guy said sthg like "oh shucks that's old SF for ya" and 1) it wasn't "OLD" SF trivia and 2) Octavia, Ursula, Kate, Vonda, Alice, Sheri, Anne...
In 2025 finding a reviewer who just nearly reads just exclusively male authors is really a sign more work is needed - guys open up your shelves to the bigger pile of great books out there
