I love geckos, but that is a really beautiful snake too.

Hello Ripple!

I also love the fact that the cat in the background has a bag handle moustache ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Great choice! It is one of his that I have re-read several times, and each time I marvel at how clearly he saw the problems that women face. I shouldn't be surprised I suppose: his superpower was understanding all humans.

As a female human myself, I have often thought about the 'socks' situation (no spoilers, but you'll know what I mean when you get to it, or if you've already read it) at times when I needed a bit of confidence!

I can imagine, but who could argue with the owner of such magnificent whiskers and toe-hawks?

So gorgeous! I could deny her nothing.

I've used a variety of split keyboards for a good number of years now, and it has made an enormous difference to the hand pain that was just starting before I switched, and also to my posture. I tried tenting too, but never really got comfy with that. I found that tenting helped me more when using higher profile split boards (i.e. with MX switches), but I preferred not tenting with low profile (Choc) switches. It's worth getting a board with the potential to tent though, as it is a very individual thing and you never know what will work best for you.

For reference, I am not a gamer, and try to avoid using the mouse as much as possible.

Others have already listed some of my favourites, but top of my list would have to be Kate Bush - Hounds of Love. Not only is every track perfect, but there are so many layers and nuance and mystery to the tracks that you can (I have!) listen to it regularly for nearly 38 years, and still never tire of it.

There's even a still more perfect album within that album: The Ninth Wave.

I'm enjoying it even more the second time, and find myself slowing down to appreciate the subtleties more.

I'm re-reading Middlemarch by George Eliot. I had forgotten how funny it is in places, and what a wry and surprisingly modern voice she has (once you get used to the 19th Century writing style).
