@seananmcguire I'm on a word-a-day email list, and you were the usage example for 'instar' ! https://t.co/WmsN48rw9q Unexpected and delightful

@UrsulaV @SisterGraves Seconding potionomics, the characters, story and animation are excellent, even if the early game is fiddly and the late game a little boring

All ears for this news 👂: the San Diego Zoo Safari Park recently welcomed three bat-eared fox kits and they're too cute not to share 😍

[Holly Becker @Hwesta]

@neomeruru Yessssss! That sounds amazing

May Momo's teenage years be less exciting and tragic than Sol's

@UrsulaV Wearing the yiga armor when they try to attack you is pretty funny, or when you try to take the banana bait

[Holly Becker @Hwesta]

@mistydemeo I'm sorry to hear that! Good luck on finding a new job, I'll keep a eye out for you

[Holly Becker @Hwesta]

@neomeruru That's true, definitely sexy situations, good call. The circle of magic first and second quartet are less mature IIRC?

@ChocolateOctop1 @Hibou212 @WholesomeMeme Seconding the rec for T Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon) 's World of the White Ray series

@terminalcitycon Nice! What game is that?

[Holly Becker @Hwesta]

@KojoIdrissa There's a board game convention called "Terminal City Tabletop Con", so I guess Terminal City? Usually just Vancouver or YVR, or "real Vancouver" if I'm talking to folks in WA or OR.

Bea Wolf, @ZachWeiner's retelling of Beowulf as a kids graphic novel, is a great book and you should check it out

Also, as a linguist I am excited to see it because alliterative Old English metre is a really cool verse form! Why should iambic pentameter get to have all the fun!

@KojoIdrissa @pycascades Glad you made it! Hopefully I'll see you at the con tomorrow

[Holly Becker @Hwesta]

@hartknyx Thank you! I'm very excited about the hair too. Sad you won't be here (I have a spare room if you change your mind last min :P )

[Holly Becker @Hwesta]

Excited for #PyCascades this weekend! I'm volunteering at the check-in desk at the social on Friday (today), and I'll be around in-person on Sat & Sun.

Selfies, with and without the mask I'll be wearing at the con
