I have two bluesky invite codes. It seems like a good place right now if you're into a certain SFF crowd. (Scalzi, Gaiman, Leckie, Newitz, Martine)

it's weird. I didn't particularly like Sinéad O'Connor's singing, but she was such a large public presence that I'm really shocked and sad about her death.

Had surgery today. Seems to have gone well. Recovering one night in the hospital before going home (to an accessible hotel room) tomorrow.

life update: lots of suck going on. out of my home for over a month, still no move back date, but my landlords are raising my rent $150/mo. And I'm having my ankle fused in two weeks, 6-8 weeks no weight on it to follow. Upside: lots of support for the surgery.

I'm in need of someone on WA to fight some elementals in DF with me, and someone on SC to run Waycrest Manor dungeon (I solo'd 2 of the 3 first half bosses, but need a 2nd person for one of them)

I hate when you find something lovely on SL marketplace but the store has all sorts of unrelated lovely things, so you have to assume they're all ripped.
