Great moments in copyediting:

“Before Atwater died, of brain cancer, in 1991, he expressed regret…” Yagoda wrote, “No other publication would put a comma after ‘died’ or ‘cancer’. The New Yorker does so because otherwise (or so the thinking goes), the sentence would suggest that Atwater died multiple times & of multiple causes."

@bookstodon Am I the only one who dislikes dust jackets and can't wait to get rid of them only to be sad that the actual #books are not decorated pretty?

Going through my #bookshelf this week has revealed a pattern. Mayhaps that is why I tend to buy paperbacks? But then I also dislike how flimsy they are.

It's Caturday! Here they are, in cool down mode before another day of disruptive activity. #catsofmastodon #cats #bookshelf

Happy Thursday. For today’s #BooksAndCoffee I’m drinking coffee from #CloudGateCoffee and reading Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by #JunoDawson, since I’ve had it up to here with bad books and authors pulling transphobic punchlines.

So, what are you drinking and reading?

1 day left on this #pathfinder #adventure path auction as I try to make room on my #rpg #bookshelf. Jade Regent is an awesome #ttrpg campaign and the first book contains a stat block for Ameiko Kaijitsu, a major NPC in several @paizo APs. Check it out before it goes https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204431286259

Word of the day: "If the traveller had scaled the peak of phonolithic rock - so called because of the xylophonic sound the stones make as they slide away under a climber's feet (...)"

I hate to contradict Chuck D & Terminator X, but *do* believe the hype. Octavia Butler is an amazing writer. This one is Toni Morrison by way of Philip K Dick. #Books #Book #Bookshelf #bookstodon

[C] Desiree TF into Fursona

A commission for https://chitter.xyz/@desiree on Mastodon. What's better than becoming your 'sona in cozy environs with a nice cup of tea? I'm sure I can't think of anything!

Thanks so much for your patronage!

Image Description:
A drawing of a young woman turning into her fursona. Behind her, the blurred background depicts filled bookshelves.
Gray fur is spreading across her body. Her fingers are turning more pink and fur peeks from the sleeves of her purple cardigan. Her nose is shifting up and outwards and long whiskers are sprouting out. On her chest, pale fur is bunching out. From under her skirt a long tail has grown, tucked between her legs. Her right shoe has fallen off, but lengthening toes are tearing apart the left shoe.

= == === == =
Please fave, comment, and watch -- it's really appreciated!
Drawn in https://procreate.com/ on iPad Pro

“Developing a structure is seldom that simple. Almost always there is considerable tension between chronology and theme, and chronology traditionally wins. The narrative wants to move from point to point through time, while topics that have arisen now and again across someone’s life cry out to be collected. They want to draw themselves together in a single body, in the way that salt does underground. But chronology usually dominates. On tablets in Babylonia, most pieces were written that way, and nearly all pieces are written that way now.”

- John McPhee, Draft No. 4

The time has come. I'm parting with my favourite alt cover #dungeonsAndDragons book as part of my #rpg #bookshelf downsizing. It's a great book of expanded rules for #dnd5e and the art on the cover by Wylie Beckert kicks ass. Check it out!

Staff Engineer: Leadership beyond the management track https://amzn.eu/d/d3CwEuc
#bookshelf . Staff+ is relatively new grade but quite old concept . Leaders without direct reports that do impact without formal titles with informal empathy and experience based approach . Every organization has different view on this position but for me it is always about empowering and enabling others . It is more about concepts , principles and ideas.
Book is quite good intro to taxonomy of staff+

My #ttrpg #bookshelf clearout continues, some great items up on my eBay currently including #warhammer #fantasy #roleplaying and #pathfinder stuff. Check em out!
