Scientists revive old Bulgarian recipe to make yogurt with ants. Ants carry lactic and acetic acid bacteria that help coagulate milk, as well as formic acid to acidify it. They even partnered with Danish chefs to create three recipes using ant yogurt. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

I saw this in the latest Tordotcom email and can't wait to read it. Kill All Wizards by Jedediah Berry comes out June 16, 2026. The description is what got me--picture Conan the Barbarian caught up in a comedy of manners! How could that not be fun!

I enjoyed Rebecca Thorne's Tomes and Tea fantasy series and was thrilled to see she is starting a scifi series. MOSS'D IN SPACE sounds like it will be just as much fun! #ewgc

I'm a big fun of Cullen Bunn's horror comics so can't wait to dig into his adult novel debut BONES OF OUR STARS, BLOOD OF OUR WORLD! #ewgc

NINE GOBLINS: A TALE OF LOW FANTASY AND HIGH MISCHIEF by T. Kingfisher was a fun read! I liked seeing a fantasy story from the goblins perspective for a change. #ewgc

Bluesky wants my drivers license, credit card, or the last 4 numbers of my social security card to verify I am an adult? Nope. That’s not going to happen.

I managed to get through another day. Trying to do a positive post in a world that is anything but positive. Anyone else get through their day? We need to stick together.

We defeated the Displacer Beast but the Beholder defeated us. Still, we had a blast!

Cameron Crowe has a new memoir called The Uncool coming out on October 28. I loved his movie Almost Famous and can't wait to read about the real events that inspired the movie! Bonus for those on Edelweiss because you can download it now!

We switched to Koha 2 years ago. There was a learning curve and it took them time to tweak things to make it more staff friendly. #ewgc

Joe_Jones @jjbooklvr.bsky.social · Aug 7

Unfortunately I did! Work has been busy. I will have to go through the posts to see what I missed! #ewgc

Maybe I do need a smart watch after all.

Super muggy outside so of course I am out grilling hotdogs for lunch. Later I will be out grilling jerk chicken legs for dinner. Screw the heat and humidity!
