This flash is so packed with emotion. A metaphor for what we judge as worthy of saving and what we think should be let go. But every small thing counts and everything adds up. In the end we might end up much lonelier than we thought.

After reading this, my old policy of “probably don’t get in a Tesla” is now a new policy of “never ever get in a Tesla, what the fuck.”
PSA: How to open a Tesla door in an emergency. Not a joke.

This is a great thing to read on a week when I have to take mandatory time off work to go to the job centre in person so that they can crawl through my bank statements to establish if we will keep receiving child tax credits now that they have been absorbed into Universal Credit.

One of the delightful perils of The Other Site before it went bad was diving in to Colin's Rec Thread during a Steam sale, and coming out with at least half a dozen weird unique indie games added to your library.
Highly recommended, can't wait to see what's made the list!

lazy sunday evening reminder that The Rec Thread comes out later this month and you can still get it at the pre-order price of $4.95! (gonna be promoting this for awhile! sorry!)
hey hey! after a whole lot of fits and starts, The Rec Thread - a digital book of 100 of my personal game recommendations, spanning a wide breadth to truly have something for everybody - is opening up for pre-orders! on sale for $5 - it'll be $8 on release! spacetwinks.itch.io/therecthread1

Daughter tells me she heard today that if you wear a band T-shirt (especially as a young woman) and a man says to you “name five of their songs”, the correct response is “name five women who trust you”, so I pass this on in case any of you need it

An important reminder from Neil. The Hugos should join other publications and organizations in always naming the translator whenever translated works are nominated or win. #NameTheTranslator
Please don't forget that some of these were eligible because they were translated into English in 2022. Since we give Hugos to the author and translator, that means translators were removed too.
