I've been listening to the Discworld audiobooks (after having read them all multiple times).

Until I started Guards! Guards! being read by Jon Culshaw a couple days ago, I'd never imagined Sean Bean playing Vimes.

Is there anyone from Duolingo itself on BlueSky? I'm trying to get help resubscribing, but no messages sent via the help page ever go through.

Kanabo (iron club) based economic system? Well, my D&D character'll be happy. He uses his to explain to people why they should stop ordering other people around.

I haven't seen the vast majority of the top picks that the survey said I was like, and in my headcanon the wizarding world was wiped out in the Creator's Plague (which sucks 'cause Remus was my favorite). Leaving me at 84% Lane Kim and 84% Nomi Marks. I'd call that a win in any book.
