Just picked up a copy of this, as well as several gift copies. At this price, it's an absolute steal. As in I feel like I should be sneaking into Andi Ewingtons house and leaving a mysterious pile of gold coins. If you like D&D, Pratchett-worthy humour, pick up a copy.

BREAKING: Germany has just announced UNLIMITED public transport anywhere in the country will cost just £1.40 PER DAY. Officials say the policy is aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and helping with the cost of living. Anyone else think our government should do something similar?

The First Binding! I've been looking forward to this for months, and I'm about to make the mistake of starting reading at midnight. Ah well, who needs sleep.

It's odd how

and the rest of the terfs are silent about Roe vs Wade, one the biggest takedown of womens (along with transmen/enbies, and anyone else with a wombs) rights. Shocking.

I couldn't bring myself to ever play it. Giving money to someone who consistently and unapologetically hurts people I love isn't happening.

Covid caught me in middle, but the #DiscworldReread continues! Halfway into The Light Fantastic. It still holds up fantastically well. Seeing the origin of the Librarian was a fun callback. Its odd seeing UU without the usual group of people

Burned through Colour of Magic for the first time in 10 years. It felt both shorter than I remembered, and also packed more in than I thought. Seeing the world get established again hit me hard, watching it find its feet and build up feels special #DiscworldReread #Discworld

New years resolution is to read more hardcopy books (nothing against ebooks, they don't smell like old paper though). I figure at least 4 per month? Its odd how close that is to the total amount of Discworld books... Guess it's time for the great #DiscworldReread!

Saw Sofie Hagen live in Lancaster pre-world ending, and they were absolutely fantastic. Couldn't recommend it more! If you're looking for something to watch, well worth a buy.

My eldest sons class are missing the last week of school due to having to isolate. We've lost half the staff at work to another outbreak, and have to furlough the other half. Wearing a mask is uncomfortable, but it protects other people. That's why I'm going to #WearAMask

Watching people disregard basic safety precautions and complaining that more precautions are having to be put in place because of the idiots ignoring the first lot are making me wonder if Thanos actually had the right idea

However I've planned the first 5 chapters of a book I'm never going to write, sketched out an idea for an npc in a game that has no npcs, mentally dissected past relationships, and glared so hard at the ceiling it may burst into flame

In a very strange place mentally tonight. Nanas ash scattering tomorrow after missing the funeral due to lockdown, and my brain is keeping me awake all night thinking about absolutely anything other than it.

Seeing #IStandWithJKRowling trending a lot right now. I'm completely behind it, he played an iconic role in Spider-Man, and I also want pictures of Spider-Man. Oh wait, that was J.K. Simmons. Rowling is the transphobic TERF. Nevermind.

I feel like the longer this goes on, the more the USA is turning into somewhere they'd threaten to invade because of human rights atrocities. How are they at the point people are being kidnapped in the middle of the street by secret police?

NYC is taking after Portland - a trans femme protestor was pulled into an unmarked van at the Abolition Park protest - this was at 2nd Ave and 25th Street

“He asked you to shoot at people who weren’t shooting back,” growled Vimes, striding forward, “That makes him insane, wouldn’t you say?” They are throwing stones, Sarge,” said Colon. “So? Stay out of range” Terry Pratchett (Night Watch)
