dorothy sayers dans of tumblr, does lord peter wimsey need to be read in order? I'm in a long hold queue for books 1&2 but was able to immediately check out 3, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 15.

found out the first one was $2 on libro.fm so I went ahead and got it. Reasons not to listen to Whose Body? first: the victim is ethnically Jewish and wow the period-appropriate(?) ways of saying that.

I knew period stuff used words I would consider slurs (Agatha Christie drops "dago" relatively often and "Thank You, Jeeves" is pretty free with the n-word in re a blackface show, which was already painful in concept) but y'know. This time it's personal.

pfffff the pitfalls of reading hundred-year-old novels.

Almost always yes. Fun fact though, bamboo does have fibers that you can spin after mechanical processing. If something says it’s made from bamboo bast, it’s not rayon. You can even buy it as fiber if you want to spin it yourself.

Oh for real? I need to get my hands on some then, I've not worked with it.

a couple years ago the eric carle museum of picture book art had an exhibit on diane & leo dillon who are responsible for so many iconic illustrations. i went back twice just to see the collection again. this is a sliver of their work— it’s hard to find high res images.

Quick what are you doing RIGHT now (besides scrolling Tumblr)

Countries with the most school shooting incidents in the last 10yrs:

ngl I am... shocked it's not higher. And desperately upset that's my immediate thought.

one school shooting incident every 3 days in the US, approximately. that sounds like the news i'm aware of tbh.

why can't we get any fucking gun control laws

It looks like today is going to be a night of checking up with my friends to see which ones of them are now unemployed… Tumblr seems to have been hit hard

It looks like developers, both web and mobile, are the biggest group in the 280 people laid off

The very particular, bone-deep feeling of despair experienced upon finding out that Elon Musk just recommended your favorite podcast on twitter

How many of levels of Not Getting It do you have to be on to be Elon fucking Musk and make this specific tweet about this specific podcast. I am just. FASCINATED like what pray tell WHAT is going through Elon Musk's head when he listens to Mike Duncan's increasingly socialistic rantings on how the rampant exploitation of the people by an obscenely wealthy, powerful, out-of-touch, largely hereditary ruling class in the midst of escalating and interlocking crises that make daily life untenable for the majority of the population, leads directly to social economic and political collapse????

Elon Musk listening to Revolutions Podcast like:

Extremely funny to look back on this post from a year ago now that Elon Musk has apparently decided to use the early episodes of each season of Revolutions, where Mike Duncan goes into exhaustive detail about how a ruler made revolution inevitable by running their country into the ground, alienating everyone, and utterly failing to engage in any form of self reflection, as a manual for running twitter.

In 2025, with Mike Duncan writing the Martian Revolution and constantly dodging Apollo’s prophecy dodgeballs, while all of *waves hands* this goes on. I have to say this is maybe the most egregious example of a rw figure not getting the heart of the fandom they’re in I’ve ever seen. Like, worse than Ted Cruz loving Rage Against the Machine. On par with The Lord of the Rings and Peter T.

The New Protocols suck.

where's that post about the bullies in the class all liking Dumbo and not recognizing themselves in the other characters that pick on Dumbo
