A few months ago I saw that @neilhimself (and some friends of mine) was coming to #ReykjavikNoir. I got tickets fully intending to read books by authors attending. Then I bought a new apartment and moved. Constant work for three months now. Today I went to get my armband and felt guilty that I have read nothing.
BTW. Every time I am around tourists in Iceland I have the urge to tell them about my podcast. I could just wear a #StoriesOfIceland shirts all the time but that feels a bit vain.
I do repeat the warning against trying shark again. Hopefully the signing will go smoothly so I can say hi. You signed American Gods for me in Stockholm but I haven't decided which I'll bring to you this time. Not the Absolute Sandman volumes though.
Hallo, ich bin #neuhier und werde wohl vor allem zum Phantastischen, Nächtlichen und Dämonischen in Literatur und Kultur des 19. Jahrhunderts posten. Vielleicht finden sich hier ja ein paar Leute, die meine Begeisterung dafür teilen ... 😊 #Phantastik#Literatur
Zur Einstimmung schon mal ein Gemälde von Ernst Ferdinand Oehme, "Burg Scharfenberg bei Nacht", aus dem Jahr 1827.
I thought I'd posted here with my latest chapter of "Skirmishes and Schisms" on #WorldAnvil.
Chapter 7 is out, and as Klor'asq finally meets those who thought he needed freeing, Ferrfeiss wonders if all the heartache and effort had been for nothing.
@neilhimself That's not something I'd thought about, but I can look into it, thanks. I don't drive due to chronic pain and live in the middle of nowhere, but maybe virtual groups exist.
Hi, folks! I just joined Archaeo.social because I'm an archaeologist, although I see little archaeological content in the posts. I hope that's not a permanent condition. Look forward to seeing more from the group.
@Nohoch_Ol Archaeo should be a majority. In fact, that's why I check in periodically.
Look at "Live feeds", "This server" (the default). https://archaeo.social/public/local
^ Every post as it's created. Block/mute to reduce chatty accounts/bots you're not interested in.
"Explore" presents stuff from anywhere that's popular with folks on your instance.
Or follow a.gup.pe group accounts: bots that boost any public posts mentioning em. Somewhat like following a tag. Except they CAN go in lists. @archaeodons @antiquidons
Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.
"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.
"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."
Methamphetamine is serotonergic. Adderall is not. Methamphetamine tends to induce psychosis that makes the user hostile and dangerous. Adderall certainly can, but the chances of that happening are hardly comparable. There are numerous valid reasons why meth has an extreme stigma and Adderall does not. Attempting to infect Adderall with that stigma makes life so much harder for people like me who can’t function without taking it. People ought to be precise with their language when they talk about things they understand, and they ought to be silent about things they don’t understand. Other than to ask questions to attempt to understand of course, but how often does that happen?
