Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.

I don’t have one particular favorite, but up there is Akwaeke Emezi, who wrote Freshwater and The Death of Vivek Oji (among many, many others). Something about their writing style just sings to my soul.

I loved I’m Glad My Mom Died! It was my favorite memoir of 2022 for sure.

Yeah of course the comment on who likes/dislikes it isn’t universal, it’s just something I heard mentioned at some point.

I’m someone who can struggle with minutae like what I mentioned in the spoiler section, so that’s probably a big part of why I disliked it. Like I said, I do understand why so many people like it - Gabrielle Zevin has great prose and the overall character development is interesting and compelling. I just struggled with some parts.

I’m glad you liked it!

I recently finished Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, and while I can see why other people enjoyed it, it was not for me.

I’ll list two, nonfiction and fiction.

For nonfiction, I’d have to say How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair. It’s a memoir of a woman who grew up in a strict Rastafari household in Jamaica. Safiya is a poet and she has a beautiful command of language that makes her descriptions lyrical, haunting, or painful as needs be. However, if you generally need content warnings I would highly recommend looking them up for this book because she does not pull any punches.

For fiction, my favorite would probably be Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett (Storygraph went down in the middle of me writing this lol, will edit the link in later). It’s a lovely fantasy novel set in an alternate Earth where fae are real. You follow a Dryadologist as she works on documenting a rare type of fae while she works on her encyclopaedia of faeries (hence the title lol). I enjoyed being in Emily’s head as she worked through the problems presented to her, and as she interacted with her colleague.

Just finished Aurora, gonna work on Vision and then Conflux. After that I will have all legendary runes, sigils, armor, and trinkets for my main. Still deciding if I’ll do legendary weapons for my main after that or if I’ll do other legendary armor weights.

I have been reading the Wheel of Time series for the first time (by Robert Jordan). Currently starting Crown of Swords, book 7.

Recently placed a request in my library for the following, hopefully they’ll be coming in within the next week:

• How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler

• Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

If you’re into gw2 specifically, there seem to be 3 communities (two active and one basically dead I think) in the fediverse -

!guildwars2@kbin.social

!guildwars2@lemmy.wtf

!guildwars2@lemmy.ml

Are they buffing base skyscale movement speed? Because that’s the use case for the raptor, it’s faster than skyscale over flat surfaces.

Only use my springer gets nowadays is when a boss has a CC bar to break at the start of a fight, eg matriarch.

I mean

This is probably better suited to a kbin magazine than a lemmy community 😉

The main dev was harrassed off of the project, basically. He said he passed the source code on and it should be coming back to test flight under a different link soon, theoretically.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the casing with hashtags, I’ll be sure to be mindful of that from now on.

Thank you!

If you’re transcribing text, transcribe all of the text, including repeated names.

I think they were clarifying whether image posts (topics that are an image) could use that, and they cannot. Only inline images can.

Ooh good callout, I wasn’t aware of that.

On that note, the developer of the iOS lemmy app mlem has said that he’s focusing on blind accessibility every step of the process during development and will be hiring accesibility consultants to make sure he gets it right.
