+ Very heartening to see all the blue victories rolling in for the US. About damn time.

+ WE'RE GETTING A NEW MUMMY MOVIE! WITH BRENDAN AND RACHEL! DIRECTED BY RADIO SILENCE! That? Is a five course meal. A buffet. An absolute feast. Give it now.

+ I'm in Bangkok atm, waiting for my two brothers to arrive who told me "early in the morning", it is 11 now and I haven't heard a word. The tut tut they'll be having. Just glued to the window watching taxis come in, riveting stuff.

+ Did spend last night in bed ordering room service (it was raining) and sorting/coding some of the recs for Rec-Cember. And some folks have already joined in on the sigh-up post. EXCITE.

+ Ey we should have some more good news: Maldives becomes the first country to achieve ‘triple elimination’ of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B.

+ I know there's a whole bunch of Murderbot fans around, so wanted to give a heads up that both Illumicrate and Broken Binding are doing a limited edition collected set. I'm leaning towards Illumicrate for the cohesive look and fun book boards, but BB has some very cool endpaper art I'm drooling over.

+ Reading Rainbow is back!

+ The Video Game History Foundation's digital library system is now available to the public. You could do worse for an ill-advised late night deep dive ;)

+ hah nothing like inputting a title to my post to remind me that oh yeah, I lopped off my hair! Went from waist length to sporting a lil bob. Feels mighty freeing. And now it's all my natural hair color, and it's going to stay that way ✨

I’ve been diligently chipping away at gathering fics to rec this December, but hey, maybe more folks want to join in? And they’d need some time to prepare as well. So rec_cember is now a thing. Hopefully having a bit of a community around it can encourage more people to join in. Maybe have a weekly check in post during the month as well. I am pondering and scheming and whatnot.

Come hang?
