@realmsunknown.bsky.social New book recommendation;Anima Rising by Christopher Moore. Like Sacre Blue, lots of historical figures, this time centered on early 2th C. Vienna art scene, with a heavy dose of Frankenstein and Inuit traditions. Plus his usual wit.

Wife and self were big fans ofFarscape! You mentioned Moia, but wasn’t Virginia Hey’s character a plant? Fast moving and with unexplained mammalian anatomy, but still green.

Happy π Day to those who celebrate. Eat something circular in celebration of existing in a locally Euclidean space.

On this final night of Hanukkah, on the first night of 2025, wishing all a little light in the darkness.

Finished watching Black Doves, the most heartwarming Christmas entertainment since Die Hard. Five stars.

The employees of the Denver Art Museum just voted to unionize by a 2-to-1 margin. Even counting all those who didn't vote as no votes, the result is a clear majority.

Well done to the organizers (one of whom I am related to, just to lay my biases on the table).

My #dog is on the couch behind me. Loudly and enthusiastically slurping herself.

Dogs are disgusting.

No picture, because yuck.

I love this podcast in general, but this episode is particularly good, especially right now.

Besides the great history of the ILGWU, I learned that the “Ladies’” modifies “Garment”, not “Union”. Boy, is my face red. Ignorance fought.
