As part of this transition to FPF stewardship, we're also looking for a part-time developer for Dangerzone (6 month contract, $40K fixed budget, schedule is yours to propose). If you're interested, please consider applying!
I also liked “Face The Raven,” the episode leading up to it. Love a narrative that starts as a romp and takes a dark turn.
It's tricky to execute—it needs to be properly but unaggressively foreshadowed. It should feel earned, but still pack an emotional punch. I felt that.

The finches don’t stop by at all if there are no hulled seeds. The starlings will keep checking for several days and then fly off disappointed.
But as soon as I replenish the hulled seeds, the finches are back at it immediately. Even if they’re buried amongst shell-on ones!
I never catch them checking when the seeds aren’t there. But they always know immediately when I’ve replaced them! How are they doing it?
I’m so confused and impressed by these house finches.
They don’t like seeds with shells. I think my neighborhood finches are lazy, because the internet says they should have no problem eating seeds with shells. Nevertheless, these little jerks refuse.
I don’t always keep the feeder stocked with the hulled ones. They’re expensive, plus they attract starlings.
Dear iOS devs: Please assume I want to give your app access to a small selection of photos, as necessary, and I want to adjust it on the fly. My photo library is too sensitive to give complete access.
Too many apps I have to adjust the selection in Settings, force close the app, and then relaunch. It’s annoying!
You should preorder her book btw. All her previous novels have been fantastic and very funny:
