The good news is, not *every* pet owned by my in-laws is literally named (see also: Piglet, Billy the Goat). The bad news is, every pet that isn't is named Max.
(Okay the two Maxes live half a continent apart, and the second one came with the name.)
The Wandering Shop is a Mastodon instance initially geared for the science fiction and fantasy community but open to anyone. We want our 'local' timeline to have the feel of a coffee shop at a good convention: tables full of friendly conversation on a wide variety of topics. We welcome everyone who wants to participate, so long as you're willing to abide by our code of conduct.
