Achievement: writing a novelette that brought tears to the eyes of 100% of its intended audience of like 2 people.

First time on a plane since the beginning of the pandemic. It feels weird. TOO MANY PEOPLE.

But it will be so good to see friends again. ♥️

On the other hand, I think we are officially welcome here.

Moving is wild. My brain wants to freak out because all my stuff is in complete disarray and in someone else's house.

Dublin friends -- I'm thinking maybe @LionsPhil -- what's a reputable, trustworthy tattoo shop you'd recommend? North Dublin county preferred but not required.

How typical of @VirginMediaIE@twitter.com 's quality of service that you can only cancel by calling a number which they don't pick up. In a better world that kind of practice would get them sued into the ground.

You know what? I'm not one for selfies normally, but I look amazing today, so HERE.

So far @carojal@twitter.com and I have a 100% win rate, it's uncanny. :)

Fun game: guessing which Mandalorian episodes were not written by J. Favreau based on whether or not they're deeply mediocre.

Reopening that browser session and seeing all those forgotten tabs, once important, awaken sluggishly to display their perplexing irrelevance, I felt like an archaeologist opening a forgotten tomb and gawking at the unfathomable mysteries of an age long gone.

Working from the office today like some kind of pre-apocalypse weirdo.

Those rare and precious days when the story *must* be told and you churn out 2200 words after a long day's work, without effort.

I have this one horrible GitHub repo that's a stain on my soul, just a broken-ass Realtek driver tortured into compiling on non-ancient kernels, and now GitHub have selected it to be stored in a vault for the benefit of future mankind. -_-

Artist friends, I have a question: how many rounds of sketch revisions is it okay to request before you're pushing it? >_<

Dear fantasy authors everywhere, please, I'm begging you:

You don't make a horse go by shaking the reins. That only hurts the horse's mouth.

You typically make a horse go with your heels or, depending on training, your voice.

I wish we didn't make fun of that bishop who quit for the love of a satanic erotica writer. Dude made a hard choice in the name of love. That's a good thing.

Dragon masto, can you recommend dragon artists currently taking commissions? I'm looking for something non-cartoony but expressive, medium+ amount of details, colored, shaded.

(Also boost plz? ♥🐉)

Hey, Irish followers, there's a petition up to create safe access zones around hospitals providing abortion services. It's tragic that such would be needed at all, but the next best thing to them being unneeded is them becoming a reality.

A fun observation.

We went horse riding as a family today. The stable people quickly checked @carojal knew what she was doing (she does), and then assumed they had to explain the simplest basics to me.

... This is what women in tech experience all the time, isn't is.
