Just watched Pillion. Once again emotionally attacked by Erik Satie and Alessi Brothers, smh. My poor heart can't handle this.

It's not as overtly didactic as Bable, but yea, I prefer Yellowface too. I think I read that in one sitting.

If you like, I can slip my copy in the parcel where I've been collecting stuff for you since summer, which I still haven't managed to post. 😭 The executive dysfunction is kicking my butt. 🫠

So-so. I love her worldbuilding and ideas, but she is prone to infodumping (like in Babel) and I feel like it gets in the way of the story too much. The first half held my interest, but then it sort of petered out, but maybe it's just me.

My new year's resolution was to only read the physical books I own, so I could ultimately post a cool photo like this. Unfortunately, this gave me a reason to buy more books and I still ended up borrowing and reading a lot of stuff on Kindle. So here are 43 of the 104 books I read.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sometimes I see my IP address location displayed next to login info in apps and such and somehow it's always spelled in Russian way. 🙃

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Stede is delighted and clapping as Ed holds up a small fish he caught. Stede is wearing his cursed suit red shirt and Ed is wearing his timeout burlap onesie. Ed is presenting his fish with an open hand as it dangles on a line from his other hand. He's smiling. They're both standing in front of a huge waning moon, bathed in its light.

Absolutely inspired choice of music for a post about weapons in baguettes

Illustration of Izzy Hands from Our Flag Means Death. He is holding his necktie with a relaxed but resolute expression. The style is reminiscent of art nouveau

a picture of Jeff the Accountant based on the photo of Taika pinching a bridge of his nose and wearing a pink suit, there are two versions in this WIP black&white and pastel collored and the suit is xviii century one not modern

What can I say? I got inspired and drew Jeff. He does not have the greatest day, like me, because I messed up the layers on this pretty bad. A WIP for Wednesday it is.

Maybe if you do puppy eyes to the IT guys and say that you don't use this shit AT ALL bc it's useless, they can disable it for you and your life quality gets a much needed upgrade?

OMG FUCK Copilot. My laptop screen started blinking and it was driving me insane. Turns out that it's due to an incompatible app, so I spent weeks trying to figure out the cause. It was Copilot. Everything was fine once I'd disabled Copilot using the Group Policy method. ://////////////
