Elf enjoyer, fountain pen & ink dork, loves shouting and fantasy novels and shouting about fantasy novels. Sometimes I post pictures of my ridiculous dogs. Pretty sure my Axolotl is actually Ursula Vernon’s. She/her. Shiny. High strung.

I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

Just a friendly PSA if you want to commission artists for Christmas presents, which is a great idea btw, you have to get on the ball about it BEFORE Thanksgiving. Like do it today. I'm not doing commissions personally I just want to save you panic or disappointment. Get on that dream artist ASAP 💛

Speaking of things that were trendy despite being basically poison and got shoehorned in where they were unwanted and unneeded during the 20's, one of my local friends has begun referring to genAI as "radium"

It always cheers me up to contemplate the fact that least-worst member of the Golden Dawn, W.B. Yeats, threw Aleister Crowley down the stairs once.

He had it coming.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

This is not the worst book we've ever read but it is the meanest episode we've ever done.
Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

The pilot custom heritage 92 fountain pen has only two flaws to me: first, it’s a piston filler with big ink capacity so I get bored of the ink before it runs out in nearly any fill; and second, it is VERY slightly smaller than my preference so I end up gripping it too tightly.

Still a great pen!

This has brought up a question I actually don't know - when did the specific form "the fae" become so popular in English?

OED has "Faerie" going back to Spenser, "fey" as "fairylike" in 1823, and there's obviously "Morgan le Fay" from French, but can't find much for "the fae" til quite recently!

Apple: Here, use some AI
Scrivener: I would prefer not to.
Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.
