*One* of these is a valid excuse 😑
Is baby? 🥺
Migrants didn’t cause the problems in the UK. Migrants aren’t the enemy. We are not in a fight for survival. If you think any of the above, you aren’t defending Britain, you’re just a racist bellend
It's such a gorgeous stretch of coast!
I have no idea where it comes from, but thanks, I didn't realise that drawing Watto in suggestive poses was a whole trend. I don't think I needed to see Watto's enormous bulge, tbh... People are weird and I need brain bleach 🤣
We made it to 220,000 signatures, #WotSkies ! Keep the #SaveWOT campaign going! #TheWheelOfTime
Are you sure there is a whole brain cell to share among that lot? 😆
Wouldn't you agree, @malkiertalks.com? 😈
The hayfever is not as bad as it once was, but he also absolutely refuses to take medication for it, and then he'll do a 5-sneeze combo while driving 😐
Wheeee!
As someone with an evolutionary biology degree who actually somewhat understands the concept of fitness, that phrase makes my blood boil
My dad has hayfever His every sneeze is an unnecessarily mighty roar Mum has been shouting at him about it for 40 years 🤣
Has he gone missing? 👀
Yup. We were only rambling that night! The scavenger hunt took us through the park with a giant R2-D2 in it 😅
#DragonCon plus #WheelOfTime = good times! go check out our #SaveWoT banner outside the Westin hotel in Atlanta this weekend!!
Dear #WoTSkies, In this Age, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, we will #SaveWoT. Happy FRIDAY (woohoo!) mornaftevenight! ❤️ #ThankYouRafe
🫂🫂🫂
SHANKERBELL 🤣
Helpful 😑
Ooooooh
Gods damn it, that's an awful situation 🫂
I'd like @aielcakes.bsky.social to know that I owe her for my second place, because she's the reason I remembered that nub was a word 😅 #OnlyNubs
I would have had a good one in the Old Tongue at one point 😅
Re-upping this again, please spread far and wide:
Hey @kangus.bsky.social, we found a fancy Waygate in Prague!
It's finally here! Meet Spicomellus - one of the world's strangest dinosaurs! After being named in 2021, many questions remained about what this ankylosaur looked like. So, in 2023, I was part of an NHM content contingent who followed @tweetisaurus.bsky.social up into the Atlas Mountains...
Scifi is replete with cyborgs, artificial humans, augments, and other rad body changes, and people go “Cool!” But you go to the doc for the body you want now and people respond “What, no, god put his name on you and left you on his side of the fridge, so now I need to make up reasons to hate you.”
I'm making Czech Costa and their giant bottles of elderflower juice my arriving-for-MCon tradition 🤤
Obligatory airport selfie, hurriedly, from the boarding queue. For possibly the first time since I started flying, we boarded at the advertised time! MalkieriCon, I'm coming! (Who else will be there early?) Bonus highlight of the day so far: random window dressing dog in Cupar 😄
Oh nice! Please keep going on about it or I'll probably forget before I next have a free day 😅
I figured you were quoting. Doesn't mean I can't send you a pile of pink love hearts 😆
🥺
I would contest one of those 🤣
There ya go. Imagine they landed on you, gently as rose petals.
Any techno covers of ABBA?
This sounds like it should be on my TBR 🤔
If people in real life could hear my internal monologue, I'd be unemployed and friendless
(Though I kinda made up for that in the fic. Because *that* version of the character definitely *thinks* the snark, she just doesn't usually let it come out 😅)
You wouldn't believe the amount of hilarious snarky dialogue I *didn't* click in order to stay in character 😆
LMAO Re: KOTOR, I meant I was so good the scale wasn't big enough 🤣 I literally have a screenshot from 2 where my alignment slider is above the top of the scale. (I annoyed Kreia a lot 🤭)
I've never been able to enjoy playing evil either. (I went off the light side end of the scale in both KOTOR games, lol.)
OMG, are those excited rat sounds?
via @en.blueark.app. It cost a few quid, and they can't bring alt text or any replies to/from other people through, but I got to keep all my self-indulgent nerdy threads and inane video game commentary 😆
(I have 16.6k, but that includes a decade's worth of imported Twitter crap)
Do replies count as posts? If they do, the Hinderstream might be responsible for a lot of that 😆
Seems like another lifetime
"Muuuuum! 😩"
Every time I see this thumbnail I mistake the Horn for a thumbs up
I came here with an invite, too. I think I missed the lore 🤣
This is causing recurring cackles
OMG #WotSkies, the bowl of winds!
Daydreaming about writing is a whole lot easier than writing 😆
I mean, there's some barely edited game dialogue in it, but... yes 😅
YAY!
OK, I still have an epilogue to write, but the main story? Done🤯 307 493 words. (Give or take. There may be tweaks, but big edits are unlikely) Almost exactly 5 months. By far the longest fic I've written. There's still the epilogue, but after...I'm not sure what to do with myself! #MammalWrites
Reminder: alt text is important to include with your images so that members of our community who have blindness and low-vision can understand your posts. There's even a setting to remind you to add it - cool, right?! Some helpful info about writing alt text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...
Birds are good for the soul
Agree to disagree 😆 (Though I just don't like milk very much, except a dash in tea. I even prefer my hot choc with oat milk.)
OMG, I honest to god thought that you meant a cold hot chocolate 🤣 😅
Cold. Hot. Chocolate. There's no accounting for taste 😞
The shows. The High Republic. The games. SO MUCH GOOD STUFF.
I used to like travelling. Never liked *flying*, though. Even a corrupted Waygate might be preferable...
I hate that you need to do this, but good luck! 💛
Gotta love it when travel anxiety fucks up my sleep days before the actual travel. Otherwise known as the time I should be resting up before the exhausting thing I'm travelling to 😐
(I will forever hold a grudge for that. It was good ice cream.)
Having once had a herring gull (adult) swoop down to shove its face in my ice cream *over my shoulder* while I was holding it, no amount of shamelessness from Larus sp. surprises me any more
You deserve chocolate regardless
Right, so what's my reading order again? 😅
(BTW, I've looked inside a bit, but I've yet to find the credits for this particular art 🤔)
I got my #StarWars #TheHighRepublic art book yesterday, and I hereby wish to publicly adore this phenomenal cover art. This is one of those books where you should *definitely* take the dust jacket off. (If you've read Path of Vengeance, you'll know why this design is genius as well as gorgeous)
Guess I'll be reading Murderbot on the way to Prague, then...
That book is a treasure trove!
Though whoever wrote that alt didn't even try to make the joke funny
(Buckfast?)
Is that a tea latte or a capputteano?
YESSS
"A tool made for a purpose is not demeaned by being used for that purpose." - The Eye of The World We need more art of Moiraine as one of the Moirai actually. I might as well post it here as well #TheWheelOfTime #MoiraineDamodred
Peeps! THE WITCH ROADS is now available in audiobook, narrated by the fabulous Ella Lynch (she & I exchanged many lovely emails over this book). So if you want a grimsweet tale of a humble deputy courier, a possessed prince, & a ravenous fungal ghost plague: rbmediaglobal.com/audiobook/97...
Jesus H. Christ on a unicycle. And this after not sending you the bill???
This is the way.
Seahorse croc has a very origami vibe 🤔
WANKERS 😤
Why must space be so big? 😩
How long would it take to get there?
Let the #Siuaraine fans loose on this 😁
Hey #WotSkies go for for Sophie and SHARON and Moiraine & Siuan or Alanna and Maxim and their respective actors!! linkin.bio/autostraddle... let's give our Wheel of Time cast& crew some love!
I know this is the Hinderstream and thus mostly unserious, so I'm gonna be blunt here. Unsolicited advice drives me up the fucking wall. And when I indicate that, I don't think doubling down and/or joking about it is a great response. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but: gonna no dae that.
(Reminds me of an anecdote from someone I've trained with. At a seminar, she got asked to demonstrate a knee to the groin type move on this absolute fucking legend of a grand master. He *was* wearing a box, to be fair, but he didn't let her off until she did it like she meant it 😬)
Not quite what I was thinking of, lol. Definitely doesn't sound fun, though!
Sooooo to my martial arts brain, a low kick is usually circa groin level, am I thinking in the right direction? 😬
I mean, generally when people give me unsolicited advice, my first thought is to a) tell them to fuck off, b) hit the block button, but I don't want to block you...
I have faith in you.
Day 86-Not stopping until we’ve won @sonypicturestv.bsky.social SaveWoT.com Save WoT and you get a built in fanbase clamoring to see this story finished the way it deserves. Our plea has evolved into a roar. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Uncle Jack, you really need to curb your advice-giving urges 😜
Look at those eyes 🥰
Good: imagining Bad: controlling my imagination, lol. The constant "but what if this cool new thing" is one of the banes of my worldbuilding (Side note: this is one reason fanfic seems to work so well as a block-breaker for me. There are pre-made imagination ruts 😆)
It's so funny to me that one of the loveliest rays of sunshine on my timeline drools over the bad guy lightsabers 😄
📌 art resources
Absolutely! 💯
Goooooooooood morning and happy #WoTWhalesDay!! Today I will be discussing everyone's favorite explosive lady, Aludra! #TheWheelOfTime #WoTSkies
