Since it's now on the publisher's website, I guess I'm finally allowed to share about my book, coming from @KentStateUPress in January 2025: kentstateuniversitypress.com…

Four natural 1's (on a d20) in a row. I am beating the odds all right!

Just found out that a building where I went to church as a kid has been converted into a Japanese-style capybara cafe. Seriously. wildencounterscafe.com/

Give thanks! Prayers answered.

If you say that something is fake, a false flag, a setup, a hoax, a psyop, or staged before you have gathered any evidence and had a chance to analyze it, you’re radicalized, and that radicalization is impacting your ability to assess reality.

Did ep. 2 of "I Want to End this Love Game" just drop a Frieren reference? The characters discuss an anime about a very long-lived mage who constantly gets eaten by treasure chests.

The Ascendance of a Bookworm anime isn't bad, by any means...but it's just so...inferior to the light novels. I think I'm dropping it, despite loving the books.

For whatever reason, the anime *feels* incredibly, painfully slow compared to reading the books. I don't think I can take any more. lol

As is often the case, I reacted to this innocuous tweet by imagining a "your face" joke response, i.e. "your face is an inclusio."
But then I realized it actually works.
Ear

Ear'
forms an inclusio. I'm a genius!

Guy who rejects the long ending of Mark because it forms a neat inclusio with the opening centered on mission and baptism, and Mark would never do anything that literary

How can one man be as loathsome & despicable as DJT, & how can otherwise decent people I know (& even go to church with!) continue to defend him? It boggles the mind.

The sudden appearance of a big hopper swarm throws Sutrena into chaos in "Lady Bumpkin and Her Lord Villain" Volume 8. Then, to make things worse, the entirety of Desnim is thrown into high alert as the manabeasts spread to the capital as well. 💦 bit.ly/4dXUL0i

So apparently Jeopardy had a category where Gordon Ramsay (deservedly) called out George McClellan as an idiot. I love it! youtube.com/watch?v=9Ebj9TIq…

Even if it's hard to use them often, I love that English has words like mollycoddle, boondoggle, hornswoggle, and gobsmack

Reminder that the constitutional remedy for a bad president is impeachment. The 25th amendment is NOT a form of backdoor impeachment, and it's purpose isn't remove presidents who are acting stupidly.

Yes, I want our man DJT gone ASAP, but the solution to a president who violates the constitution isn't to twist another part of the constitution to use against him. Only way 25th Am is relevant is if we get a psychiatric diagnosis that DJT is off his rocker.

No matter what this administration does, I remain deeply skeptical that any good will come of it.
DJT's pride, greed, dishonesty, and general wicked foolishness will taint and contaminate everything he undertakes.

On a different note, it's funny to me that the White Witch knows what this "Turkish delight" stuff even is.
She should've been like "Kid, I got no clue what that junk is, but can I interest you in some locally sourced Narnian treats instead?"

And IIRC, she's not otherwise shown to be a mind-reader, so it's not as if she could just pluck the info from Edmund's memories either.

This implies either that some other world-hopper brough Turkish delight to Narnia previously, or Narnia coincidentally developed the same treat by the same name.
Brings to mind Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development from Star Trek. 🤣
