Seem to recall an interview with Terry Pratchett in which he said the Gardener was supposed to be some particular saint (I forget which), not Aziraphale, though…
in the show it was made 100% clear that it was Aziraphale, which is what we’re talking about. Which is funnier than introducing yet another character.

They only did Maleficent after that approach was already demonstrated to be safe by the success of Wicked, though.

If your day was like the day here, then you’re right, and I regret having been A Responsible Adult when I went to the grocery store, so that there is no chocolate — quality or otherwise — around to mainline.
This is the second day this week I’ve gone into the store, looked at the takeout displays of AlterEco chocolate mint truffles and just picked up the damn box and put it on the belt.
Cause #1 is, well, not resolved, but going much better than I feared, but today one of my PTSD triggers was stomped on pretty hard by an overly graphic description of sexual assault, so, chocolate. Fuck being a responsible adult, I need the goddamned dopamine.

Oh, so you didn't make this up. Good. I was worried that maybe you were abusing painkillers or something. :P
Oh, and btw... I haven’t had any oxy in days. If I’m abusing anything right now it’s antihistimines, god damn mast cells won’t shut up. I’m constitutionally incapable of becoming addicted to opiates because I hate how they make me feel, so I only use them when the alternative is much worse. If I can sleep I probably don’t need oxy. I needed it on the 16 hour train ride that turned into a 21 hour ordeal, but not so much since. It’s going to be interesting if my incisions don’t finish healing the fuck up already though, as I haven’t had my RA treatment in 10 weeks, am at 3 mg per day on steroids and no other meds, and still have five spots that aren’t completely closed. I’m getting stiffer by the day and my hand joints are getting iffier quickly. Oh, and those spots that aren’t healing? The skin has decided that everything is evil and I’m getting reactions to the most hypoallergenic of bandages. Fun times. Trying Xyxal, but idk if it’s going to be enough. Mast cell issues are no joke. I’ve got something like 36-40 total inches of incision on my body and of those, 4 combined inches in 5 spots are not great, but I have to have no open wounds in order for them to turn my immune system off again. I’ve already had two bouts of antibiotics. The round robin goes something like this right now: 1. wounds need covering, so I tape. 2. Tape is okay most places most of the time, I take bind, antihistimine and move on. 3. Tape is suddenly not okay. Can’t take more antihistimine. 4. Remove tape, use rubbing alcohol on residue. 5. Rubbing alcohol dries out the skin, which is easily irritated. 6. Add moisturizing lotion. 7. React to lotion. (I react even to straight up cocoa butter and olive oil, it’s a mechanical thing, not an actual allergy) 8. Itch. 9. Wounds need covering up... I am at 5 1/2 weeks post surgery. I’m really, really REALLY ready to be done with this part. The binding itself is its own catch 22.
The birds and the bees
Have you ever been playing Animal Crossing and found yourself in a sticky situation? Literally? That's what happened to me one day when I was out chopping trees on my island.
Everything was going fine at first. I was happily chopping away, collecting wood for my latest DIY project. But then, out of nowhere, a swarm of angry bees appeared, buzzing angrily around me.
I panicked and started running, hoping to outrun the bees. But they were relentless, chasing me across the entire island. I ran as fast as I could, dodging trees and trying to find a safe place to hide.
I spotted Piper's house and thought I could take refuge there, but she wasn't home. The bees were still hot on my trail, and I could feel them getting closer and closer.
Finally, I made it back to my own house, hoping to shut the door behind me and keep the bees out. But it was too late. The bees caught up to me just as I was trying to get inside, and they stung me all over.
It was a painful and embarrassing experience, but it taught me an important lesson: never chop trees without a net or some kind of protection from angry bees. And if you do find yourself in a similar situation, remember to stay calm and try to find a safe place to hide until the bees have calmed down.
So the next time you're playing Animal Crossing and you hear the buzzing of bees, be careful! You never know when you might find yourself in the middle of a wild chase, just like I did.

It’s Perl regular expression syntax — or, at least Perl 5 syntax, I haven’t bothered to learn 6 — for “replace ‘AO3’ with ‘Tumblr’” because I have never understood the point of the Tumblr phone/tablet app when smartphones/tablets already have a full-featured web browser. I never hear anybody talk about the app unless they’re complaining about how awful it is.
Basically if you do Tumblr on the web browser on your phone and you try to do anything but read down your feed without reblogging anything, it tries to bump you over to the app. Or at least it was that way with me for a long time.
beesandwasps replied to your post “Accessibility technology question”
I sort of think I saw something like that before — but it was back on Mac OS 8/9, so not only was it the wrong OS for you but wouldn’t run on any hardware of the last decade and a half. (And yes, Macs had voice recognition back then.)
I know that voice recognition exists (and has existed for a long time, like, A LOnG time) but I’m specifically wondering about tying spoken word to written, which would allow more accessible websites (Author dictates, corrects punctuation, reader can hear it in the author’s voice instead of robot voice, if they want) and people to, for example, hear how a word is pronounced if it’s unfamiliar.

So… did Weebl’s prediction turn out to be accurate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K6t77a9Rw0
I have absolutely no idea because I assiduously avoid other players, and don’t bother autonaming things (there are too many sentinels to take the time, and that’s probably why) but holy fuck that was funny.
