Yes I somehow got to the end of two books in one evening, it’s annoying that they weren’t more spread out for the thread

It’s a good job I decided to stop regularly doing standup when I did - if I had to turn down the gigs that don’t book women AND the gigs that use AI slop in their promotion I’d have gigged just as little anyway

Men: wash your fucking hands. The number of times I witness a man leaving the gents without washing his hands is truly disgusting. I'm going to add to this thread every time I see it. I'm not sure why, but I feel the need to document how awful you are

Shout out to Victoria who responded to this and immediately took steps to fix a thing done without her knowledge
I just bought a book from @victoriagoddard.bsky.social’s website and received an email from them illustrated with some AI-generated slop. Now I’m far less excited about reading the book

People referring to their pets as their children is not my thing, but at least makes sense in a family structure way.
I’ve just seen someone refer to their cat as their wife, and that feels…much much worse?

Fun take on magic school. This being book 2 of a trilogy, the characters have had a bit more space to breathe and grow, though the pace is a little slow for me (not helped by very long chapters)
