Instead of shrieking about the death of fiction, I am begging columnists to look real hard about the actual aims of publishing, because to my eye, the Big Four are not actually interested in publishing books, but rather maintaining capital holdings.

โ€œitโ€™s bad not to degrade the work of people who actually know things and produce that knowledge for othersโ€ bzzt. wrong

The UK did have one standout product that was considered globally valuable- universities- and unilaterally decided to stop providing the product because it was more important to be xenophobic than successful

It's almost like it's the diff between a generation who got calls mostly from friends and one that gets calls mostly from scammera

Appalam (papad). People love sitting next to me at wedding buffets cause I am actively looking to get rid of my appalam. I don't mind fryums or old fashioned Indian chip house spicy potato chips with sambar and rice though! It's just those damn appalams.

genuinely hilarious how the literal most populous country in the world gets a green shade and "uncertain" because the white race scientists never bothered to figure out anything about it

Bengaluru actually has a bunch of craft beer places. We try and visit once of them when we go there

We should probably be clear eyed about the fact that Microsoft purchased a huge roster of some of the world's best game development studios only to turn around and use them all as kindling for its ill-begotten AI boondoggle

Open spread of an art journal with lots of jumbled drawings of bugs, frogs, a snake and some made up critters as well as a few self insert cartoons saying nonsense. It's all very colourful

I've started an art journal so I can scribble without having to worry about it being good or clever and it's such fun. Even if I don't paint today, I get to Play With The Colours #artsky

Yes same. She's so measured and wise even when she's suffering PTSD and stuff in later books. Her trust in SecUnit is so precious to it. Sigh

Ooh I'd actually love that, I have season 1 (10 episodes, not sure if that's the whole thing?) but need the rest!

They're just such an old married couple in the book, I just kind of assumed that was intentional once I noticed (on the millionth reread). I didn't know I wasn't alone in this because I never sought out the fandom online! I also cried at S2 and screamed noo don't do it at the TV

I grew up lurking in the HP fandom on LiveJournal and such, I haven't ventured further until GO season 2 forced me to seek solace in the GO fandom, so that's all the experience I have! I'm AuDHD too, the obsessive hyperfixations are real. You should absolutely try publishing fic if you want to! <3

Ohhh...meanwhile le me just sitting here waiting approx 17 years for Aziracrow to become canon ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜‚ The ending of season 2 made me really squirmy with HOW the stuff happened though (very uncomfortable) so I have been reading fandom versions of season 3 and AUs to recover ๐Ÿฅฒ

I find it hard to get into new fandoms, I've just poked my head in and peeped around, and read a couple of short pieces from the various humans' POVs which were quite nice, especially the Gurathin one, and then I ran away again. Like we were discussing, leery of Murderbot smut that I can't unsee ๐Ÿ˜†

The fandom has so many fantastic novel-length published-quality works and everyone is just super wholesome in there, I grew up in the HP fandom which I owe a lot to but people in there can be catty af ๐Ÿ˜… So I really appreciate GO's humans. Very high percentage of queer fans and it's v cosy

I'm so excited to watch, I've heard so much! And OOOOH I'm a HUGE fan of GO the book! I was gifted it when I was 16, it introduced me to both authors and I force-lent it to everyone I knew. I loved the show adaptation though! I was initially unsure about casting but then I loved both of them so much

I see him as ace too! He's the only one whose interpersonal relationships are NEVER discussed, too. Though maybe cause 'bot just dgaf who knows ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm really glad that more shows have started making room for actor's gender or sexuality! ๐Ÿ’•โœจ OFMD has been on my list for AGES and I feel like the only Good Omens fan who isn't also obsessed with it so I shall hop aboard soon ๐Ÿ˜
