Aaaand got the snake to work as well.

I couldn’t get a snake to work, really. But good call on the praying mantis, I’ll add it!

I finished Devils unto Dust yesterday and can confirm that it was superbly written all the way through, and I very much reiterate my reccomendation.

As for other zombie novels, it’s not really a genre I’m super into, hence the reluctance to get started on this one. That said, World War Z is a book that I hear is far better than the movie. Isn’t that always the case?

I’m a little over halfway through “Devils unto Dust” by Emma Berquist. It’s a zombie story set in late 19th century Texas. It took me a while to decide to read it, as honestly I just wasn’t that into another zombie story. But damn is it well written!

Stealing the book description:

Keep together. Keep your eyes open. Keep your wits about you.

A horrifying sickness has spread across the West Texas desert. Infected people—shakes—attack the living, and the surviving towns are only as safe as their perimeter walls are strong. The state is all but quarantined from the rest of the country. Glory, Texas, is a near ghost town. Still, seventeen-year-old Willie has managed to keep her siblings safe, even after the sickness took their mother. But then her good-for-nothing father steals a fortune from one of the most merciless shake hunters in town, and Willie is left on the hook for his debt. With two young hunters as guides, Willie sets out across the desert to find her father. And the desert holds more dangers than just shakes.

This riveting debut novel blends True Grit with 28 Days Later for an unforgettable journey.

No.

Personally, I prefer to use a dedicated notebook. I find that it’s faster and easier to type something like this out, but - like the learning process - I think there’s something to engaging your brain in the handwriting process that makes it more effective.

Sorry, this attempt at a humorous compliment got lost in translation. You say “little”, I say “perfect”. :)

Sorry, but I think you may have misspelled “perfect”

Just finished reading Waybound, the 12th and final book in the Cradle series by Will Wight.

I had gotten so ‘meh’ with Twitter that by the time Mastodon came around, I just wasn’t interested and would rather just quit Twitter altogether.

Then, a couple weeks ago some buddies on a Discord were talking about Lemmy, so I decided to look into it. And so here I am.

Mildly.

Out of curiosity, what kind of shrooms did you buy? I’ve had different experiences on the same amount of Golden Teachers, as opposed to say, Penis Envy.

It’s been a few weeks now, also curious if you took that first trip or are still getting prepared for it? If you tripped, how did it go?

Yeah, if you do a Lemon Tek, it does the psylocybin -> psylocin conversion in the lemon juice, so you don’t have to do it in your body. Makes it easier for some people to stomach. But in my experience, come-up is super fast, it feels like you took more than you did, and you might have a bit shorter trip.
