The evil has been purged!! 🔥
While I apologize to the little roach lives we've had to take in pursuit of not spreading an infestation, I am also very glad to be done with this saga. We're celebrating with bougie gas station food from Wawa

We finally have people coming tomorrow to look into the roach problem...and of course we found two dead ones in various places today too. Ones very far from the outlet home I uncovered a few days ago...

Trying to find a Discord-alt platform really has me recognizing how spoiled we've all been for the last 5 years, at least
Threads, voice chat and video, mobile app, a single account to connect to all your servers...it's possible to find some of these things together but not all of them right now

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Look, I'll never miss a moment to repost my pal Crispin
Or honestly any of the Wadjet Eye characters voiced by @abegoldfarb.bsky.social! They're just all so iconic

Partner and I are testing out Steam's expanded chat today
Might spin up a little test server to invite people to. I want to see if you actually have to have a user on your friends list in order to invite them to your group chat. Hoping you don't have to

Excuse you?! In this house we protect Crispin like the gift to robotkind, that he is.

In some seriousness, it's always sad to see people not resonate with the game's themes or characters or art-style or music or setting, but that's also normal, and not everything is for everyone.

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job.

In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.

The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.
Ubisoft workers are on strike: 'We are treated like children'
The strike comes after the publisher revealed plans to cut up to 200 jobs and ordered remote workers back into the office

In other news...
Discovered the source of our roach problem. It's within our kitchen walls. It was bad. It was so gross. I've definitely seen things more gross than this but...nothing I think prepares you to remove an outlet face plate and find what I did

100 pages left to edit now
At a rate of 2-5 pages a day, that shouldn't take me all that much longer. Then I ship back out to beta readers, finish the cover art, and format. Ya'll...I think Book Two will be out this year
