I thought I should poke my muzzle back in, and confirm I've remained safe during the pandemic. ^_^ I've now received two doses of AstraZeneca magic, as of last Saturday, leaving me in a relatively privileged position ( Read more... )

First off, a huge thank you to jayblanc for making it possible for me to enjoy She-Ra Day appropriately. ^_^ It's a little sad knowing this is indeed where it all concludes, but I feel they've paced it well.

So, half of Powderpaint shared their first vlog, and it's all about Mastodon. It's a really good little intro, providing not just the dry facts, but the real attractions over birdsite. Of course, the two needn't be mutually exclusive - plenty of folk maintain accounts on both, and wind up using them very differently, for the kinds of reasons you'll ( Read more... )

The Ose sex toy came into the news a few months ago, when, having won an innovation prize at CES, the organisation behind the show, the CTA, soon revoked it on rather specious grounds. I'm delighted to see the CTA's reversed that decision. ^_^
