Kinda creaky. I work at a desk under a garage. Fan of TTRPGs, science, Anthropology, speculative fiction, webcomics...too many interests.
Oh. So poulaines are back in style again. I guess fashion is once again looking to the past.
My, we really are giving the World Cup visitors the whole California experience. First earthquake, now fire. I suppose next our visitors will have to try to buy a house. #Worldcup #fifa #California
This a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone.
Somehow I don't think you mean wage theft by employers, which of the most common crime in the US. Would you care to tell us the race of the people you think commit the most crimes?
Matt Howarth: what if you saw a cosmic horror and it was playing in an insect-rock band?
What’s the cover art that got you started in the TTRPG hobby? Here’s mine: I'm actually not sure if that was the first book, it was so long ago. It was something in that range though.
Terror birds are great. Who cares if everyone from Mobius to Miyazaki has used them? I still want them in my worlds. Although elasmotherium would make awesome mounts as well...
This is an off one, but the Tom Swift books. It was always a treat to when I found a new one in the series at a library. They would be considered formulaic and the science written now, but for preteen me they were a major part of SF.
I'm reading an early work by Seanan McGuire - it's a lot of fun, and as unique superhero setting, where Marketing is the ultimate villain. I also finished "Finder: Five Crazy Women" by Carla Speed McNeil, where in this case the anthropological science fiction saga delves into romantic messiness...
I've been wanting to read Seanan McGuire's Velveteen series for years, and for Christmas I received a signed edition! It's a good way to spend a lunch.
Questionable Content is also a gold mine of androids, including former military bot Bubbles, and former police officer Roko. (Yes I know that there may be a debate over purely mechanical vs mechanics and biological elements, it's still all androids to me)
