I write dark fiction. I also love dark music and dark games. Could be a pattern there...

- A nugget of joy I just discovered: Avantgarde is a metal music label based in Italy. I listen to a LOT of their artists, and I just realized their bandcamp offers a monthly subscription with back catalog access & you keep their DRM-free downloads FOREVER! avantgardemusic.bandcamp.com/community
- The sub cost is about $7 USD /mo, which is roughly half the cost of Spotify AND you get discounts for physical media. So if you love black metal and/or doom metal, this is basically a no-brainer Also thx @metalagedmom.bsky.social for pointing me to Avantgarde. Keep doing your thing, metal queen!

- It's Band Camp Friday y'all! That special day once a month where artists get 100% of your $$ and big tech companies get zero! What's your haul???
- I was not at all expecting a lovely moment like this in such a brutal game as Elden Ring...
- My friend gave me a voucher for a free ham, which I honestly hadn't realize is a thing grocery stores still offer? It's just the three of us. My kids are gonna be so sick of ham...
- Press A
- If you hunger for drama, i am hear to say that if you get involved in local stuff, you will have more than you ever needed/wanted! Also you might actually change stuff! Win-win!

- I'm no Zelda purist, but—no wait that's exactly what I am. Wtf is she doing with a bow and arrow kit like some basic elf ranger? The whole vibe here is exactly what I feared a live action adaptation would be: like a Freeform show that's been given a decent budget www.theverge.com/games/822084...
- An expansive, moody anime version was sitting right there in the pages of the excellent manga adaption of Twilight Princess. But live action? How will Gorons and Zorra look? Or will they cut those? And the boss monsters? I shudder to think...
- Ok ok I suppose there is still a SLIM CHANCE this will be more like Legend and be real pretty, and sad enough to give some proper Zelda mood. But that is not what these stills are giving me
- Reposted by Kelley Skovronno I’m not surprised, just imagining (among other things) an opposition party that took this population seriously and devoted itself over the many years it would take to make this country actually livable for them
- I mean, technically speaking, salsa can be considered a serving of vegetables...
- I even make it from scratch, so that's like extra good for you, right?
- These bangs are workin'
- It's Bandcamp Friday, ya'll, when artists get 100% of the money you spend! Instead of paying $15 a month to Spotify so they can throw AI slop at you, why not put that money toward the slow but sure investment of your very own music collection which can never be taken away! 🤯
- Look, I can explain...
- à propos of nothing, I still miss Rádio Etiópia... www.podomatic.com/podcasts/rad...
- Ever since my kids went off to college, I have been battling with the impulse to just have cheese and crackers every night for dinner... And I fear that I am losing
- "if you're a company hoping to train your models to replicate a bunch of white-collar work, millions of browser sessions would be a pretty valuable source of data." m.slashdot.org/story/448572
- A milestone for Linux adoption, to be sure. I found it notable that after Steam OS's inevitable number 1 place, Arch took second most popular distro, and my fav lil' CachyOS (an Arch-based distro) is now at number 4. www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/11/linu...
- Linux and thinkpads catchings strays on @404media.co podcast. I'm feeling so attacked overcast.fm/+ABDRJO6hGVY...
- ME: Ugh I'm tired of getting flour all over my clothes every time I bake. Surely there's a solution to this... Oh wait, it's called an apron OH WAIT I'VE BEEN DOMASTICATED 🙃
- Momentarily regretted the typo, then decided actually "domasticated" is probably closer to what it feels like
- Unknown genders... 🤔
- What a thoughtful and well-written article on @theverge.com! Not normally where I would expect to see a serious examination of tran history and identity, and I don't agree with all of it, but it's very welcome indeed! www.theverge.com/cs/features/...
- Reposted by Kelley Skovronif you liked the piece subscribe to the newsletter. it's free. and that way the next time i write a good one, you won't miss it. i write about US politics and culture with a focus on trans issues.
- I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...
- I've been saying this for a literal decade www.404media.co/mole-rats-co...
- Ah NYC how I've missed you 🥰
- The weather has finally turned and that means it's time for my famous hot dog soup!
- This new fake Disney+ scam message is impressively sophisticated, as long as you don't bother to check the email address it's coming from. Even then, it's using a real domain, just not a relevant one. Has it been hijacked? Or part of a larger scam?
- Oh, I think it might be part of a larger scam! I called this number, which supposedly has bilingual 24/7 support and was met with a recorded message that was not bilingual (or had a bilingual option), and did not offer any actual support, just a voice mail. But the AI voice was pretty convincing!
- The website overall was reasonably well built. Not great, but I've seen far worse. So I guess the AI vibecoding there was decent as well. Eh, except the lengthy H1. That's a little weird... also, embedded in the page code is a different K-12 system site called Sparkrock 🤔
- The website looks slightly better than the previous one. The phone number ended up being another dead end voicemail, BUT there's a @sparkrock.bsky.social account! Hi! Are ya'll affiliated with School-Day.com?
- Reposted by Kelley SkovronDo this! Bookshop.org is good stuff.
- This new Geese album is hitting just right. Feels very classic rock but also very much right now geesebandnyc.bandcamp.com/album/gettin...
- Ghost Bath's Moonlover is one my all time favorite metal albums, but I confess that when Rose Thorn Necklace was released last year, I didn't give it the time it deserved. Correcting that now and wow it is really good! ghostbath.bandcamp.com/album/rose-t...
- This piece by @lopatto.bsky.social is just savage and I love it 🥰 www.theverge.com/business/793...
- Reposted by Kelley SkovronMore on #Anthropic: @sfwa.bsky.social has created a special section of the SFWA website devoted to the settlement, with a FAQ, links to resources, & a survey for authors impacted by Anthropic's illegal downloads. Will be regularly updated www.sfwa.org/anthropic-faq/
