Raven Tower has great world building and narration, but the plot seemed a bit underdeveloped.

I'm still very happy to have read it, though – a fantasy book from the perspective of a deity is very Ann Leckie, who continues to be amazing at writing non-human characters, and letting her readers fill in all the human characters from clues the non-human protagonist/narrator doesn't quite understand. A good concept, and it translates very well from scifi to fantasy. #amReading #ravenTower

Hey, people of Mastodon! One of my friends just failed a class (after working her ass off to pass it). She's feeling pretty low, and wondering what's going to be open to her now. I've reassured her that failure is not the end of the world, because I failed, but I'm not sure she believes me.

If you've ever failed at something, big or small, only to succeed later, would you mind sharing your story? I want to show her it's okay.

Boosts welcomed. Thank you!

It turns out ifelse in R doesn't work with vectors.

Everything in R is a vector.

Do I know anyone in Eugene, Oregon?

I am apartment/room share hunting there but I have to move on the 31st.

Boosts welcome

@julia History Is Gay, and Stuff You Missed In History Class are both good & fun

Hi you should all understand how excited I am about this:

"The character creator, which players get to use twice – once at the start to define your human aspects and then a second time later in the game to flesh out your vampire – goes way beyond basic male and female models. Body type, gender pronouns, employment history and fashion can all be toyed with for a very modular build."

SEPARATELY DEFINING BODY TYPE AND PRONOUNS, Y'ALL

Kira: Do you have a better idea??

Dax: [calmly] I’m the science officer. It’s my job to have a better idea.

feature idea: "mute conversation" but for your home timeline not just your notifications

Oh, right! I promised a coworker I would ask around.

If anyone is looking for a cat and you live in the #NoVA area, she knows of a 9-year-old kitty whose owner just entered hospice who needs a home. It would need to be an only cat, that's the only caveat (cat-veat?).

I don't have pictures, but I'm sure I can get some. #cats
