The Leprus monkey, cebrus leprus, or 'leprechaun', is the only species of monkey native to Ireland, belonging to the capuchin family.
Like grey wolves and the Irish elk, the Leprus was driven to near-extinction during the British occupation of Ireland. Today, Leprus remain critically endangered

Taking emotional damage because I'm an upstanding communications professional and so cannot refer to a killer whale pod stealing fish as 'orca-nised crime'

Yeah c'mon guys, Man Up aren't a criminal gang. Gangs are organised, assault and intimidate people, and cause misery, pain, and suffering across the country, whereas Destiny... Oh.

Yo is someone fucking with the simulation settings and making everything steadily more absurd to see just how batshit insane our reality needs to become before people actually notice and do something about it or am I just over-caffeinated?

I'm not saying getting back into #Warhammer40K after 20+ years is a GOOD idea, but I'm (mostly) pretty pleased with how my Blade Champion came out #AdeptusCustodes

My favourite part of people test reading my redrafted novel is they are not worried about the things I was worried about (good) but instead totally different, much harder to change things (less good).

I am pleased to announce my aggressive nihilism died with the COVID and I once again burn with the fires of revolution
COVID is fun because I just wrote a 1200 word treatise on why NZ needs to elect a centrist Labour/National coalition government in 2026 in order to stably weather World War 3, and it legitimately makes perfect sense to my brain right now.

Oh, so you're in a relationship? Well, which one of you is content spending the rest of eternity in the time loop so long as you have each other, and which one is adamant about attempting to leave the time loop by any means necessary so you can get on with your real lives?

Look Deck The Halls is an imperfect movie but there's a bit where someone mentions a Wolfenstein Christmas carol and I think we as a society need to remember that

My husband read my test chapters for the first time and has given the highest praise possible.
