OK I will look forward to your assessment on the Rochester Mediocreness Situation, thank you for your service.

I had to go and look this up in case Emerald "Urgh the Dirty Poors, Keep them Away" Fennell was whitewashing a Brontë novel again. Thankfully not, so I can maybe stop sharpening the guillotine blade.

My favourite part is the way he yelled it in English in Montreal.

Reasons I could never be an audiobook narrator No. 6: After reading a mere 40 minutes of text I am once again dizzy due to forgetting to breathe enough.

always funny seeing this one come up in the wild... i made this in the bathroom of my job in 2018. however it took me another 10 months to quit that job because it is hard to take your own advice

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

The Deepest Dark The Deepest Dark is a tragic, GM-less horror TTRPG about being trapped underground.

It's @georgiacooked.bsky.social's birthday! And what better way to celebrate than by giving her money*?

Our Zine Month ttrpg The Deepest Dark is LESS THAN £300 away from funding!! Can we get it over the line today??

*I will also get money

I love seeing two excellent people working together.

'My husband and I saw you from across the bar and really fucking hated your vibe. We're into that.'

It's wild how often in the field of audio fiction/podcasts someone will go "How can I help to develop this field?" and when the answer that comes back is, "Support and boost all the amazing work that the people there are already doing"...

... they're like, "Nah, not a weird enough scheme, pass." 🤦‍♂️

Truly Adrian's hips do not lie.
But they may be lost in translation.

Meme. Photograph of a New Zealand longfin eel underwater, looking at the camera. Eels seldom have name tags, but she looks like her name is Patrishaphon. She is a lovely dappled gray color; it's not the sort of grey you'd like to paint your walls with -- it's too dark and dirty for that. It's more the color of the dusky space between half-dreaming and daylight. Patrishaphon has her head cocked to the side, and is looking directly at you. Her eyes are oddly compelling, like a long-unthought-of childhood smell. She is peering at you from a bed of seaweed or underwater ferns that look soft and delicate. Her expression -- such that an eel has an expression -- can best be described as slightly shaken conviction. Like she believes that she understands the world, but also you've just told her about all the colors that she cannot see, and now she has doubts eating at the edges of her identity. Take heart, Patrishaphon. The universe is a question, not a declaration. Meme text reads: "No"

Robert the Bruce's doctor worried about his eel habit, fearing it would kill the king. But only one Scottish king's death is actually tied to the fish: Alexander III, who was eating fresh eel (murena recenti) just before he died.

Were the eels to blame? 1/4

My toxic trait is watching the miracle of birth in a film and saying "Unrealistic, didn't s**t herself".

We’ll be extending the closing of the casting call to February 14th to ensure all roles get cast faithfully! We’re especially looking for Latino and Latina actors. Casting for paid roles

I have become so cynical about GenAI scraping for slop and bots that whenever I see one of those "draw this in your style" posts I am immediately suspect.

Me: Why do you have hundreds of tabs open in your browser? Who lives like that?
Also me: [closing 50 audacity windows of foley files I left open] Oh, I see.

🎼 An elderly man, wishing to demonstrate the acoustics of the historic Divriği Ulu Mosque and Hospital, commissioned in 1228 in Sivas by Melike (Queen) Turan Melek of the Mengücekid Anatolian Turkish principality, garnered great admiration on social media through his recitation of a qasida (ode).

If you're under 18 and doing indie audio drama - I love and support you but please watch out for people taking advantage of you! The AD space is as a whole really lovely, but there are bad apples here and they can be very charismatic.

For perspective- to be able to pay our main actors for season 4, we will need to reach 84%!

Ohhhhhh now this is a treat.

Ella made Camlann.

Georgia made Holmwood Foundation.

Horror and suspense masterpieces, and I say that with massive bias because I’ve been lucky enough to play Death Comes to the Saloon with them both and they’re gorgeous storytelling geniuses.

Meme. Medieval painting of people kneeling in prayer. There are 6 of them, & they are probably all men. The two at the front look rather wealthy. One is wearing a rich blue robe with white fur trim, and the other is wearing a richer brown robe with white fur trim. He is kneeling on a cushion, to protect his knees from the tile floor. Both men are wearing red crewneck shirts under their robes; no deep v-necks here. They're modest and cold. The other worshipers are kneeling behind these first two, & you can't tell to much about them. They are not dressed as richly, though, so we should assume that they are groupies. The man in brown is holding a book in his hand, while the man in blue is reading from a book on a stand in front of him. His hands are likely clasped in prayer. Or he might be rubbing them together in glee. Probably not; his expression is doleful, not gleeful. Perhaps he is rubbing them together in dole. Meme text reads: "Pray harder, Richard Last year's eel stuff was bad"

A little eel history to welcome the year!

In 1535, Richard Graynfeld wrote Arthur Plantagenet about the fishing in the castle moat, saying: "I pray God send us good stuff of eels."

And may it be so with you, too, friends. I wish you all good stuff of eels in this coming year.
