The Book of Kels @Nezchan@wandering.shop

Guess who just made and posted her very first Twine game? This girl, that's who!

It's short, it's basic, but it's mine. And, hopefully, a bit of fun to read.

For the folks who have followed me over from dot social, and new followers as well, I have a brand new Ko-fi set up if you like what I'm doing on Mastodon or on my website. You can buy me a "coffee" (even though I prefer tea) here:

If you want to read a bunch of free stories (and I'm working on a new one right now for the site), my website is here:

Huh. Not watching British politics anything near closely, but I'm a bit surprised BoJo actually pulled the switch.

I thought he'd just be stubborn and sacrifice others for as long as he needed.

Yeah, making sweet sriracha roasted peanuts is a good idea.

Pity it'll take until tomorrow, but hey. It's still a good idea.

The Shadow Over Smashmouth

Okay, I'm gonna say it.

Cyborg Slaves of Satan would 100% be a DOOM theme cover band and I would listen to that shit every day.

I don't respect any vampire who doesn't say "bleh" even once.

I really, *really* wanted to like McCaffrey's Harper Hall stories, but re-reading them I can't get past the constant "Being a Harper is only for boys, but Menolly is okay because she's Not Like the Other Girls". It's just so ever-present.

Only three of those are actually good, if I'm being honest.

In case you're curious:

Beowulf, Headley translation
House of Leaves, Danielewski
The Manticore, Davies
World of Wonders, same
The Keys of the Keplian, Norton
A Tale of Sand, Jim Henson (graphic novel)

I have read six books this year.

Yes, that's not very impressive. But somewhere along the line I got out of the habit of reading #books, and I'm deliberately trying to make myself do it.

Hold up, if birds are dinosaurs, should we start calling a male T-rex a cock?

A huge cock.

Weird moment while out cycling today. I was on the NCC MUPs near the river, which winds in and out of forested areas and long grass (it's a paved trail). Very pastoral.

And I realized that I've been watching way too many YouTube cycling/urbanism videos because I found myself expecting people waling on the pathway to be speaking Dutch.

Long bike rides with a strong headwind and hills at the end when you're worn out are...bad, actually.

This message brought to you by being so drained I was nauseous and had to stop for a while and put my head in my hands.
