When is a croquet mallet like a billy club?
Knitter, baker, seamstress, cosplayer... but mostly boring

Question reblogged from Diane Duane
Wasn't the concept of having Heaven and Hell's office in the same building inspired by a Coca Cola commercial Sir Terry had seen?
I tried to look for it in class today for an assignment, but was unable to find any evidence it ever existed, though I've seen this commercial before.
Thank you🌻

It was a KitKat commercial, starring Ken Campbell as a demon.
I had remembered it as Kenneth Williams as the angel, because I remembered Kenneth mentioned shooting this commercial in his diary, but if it happened he was obviously replaced (by PG Stephens).
Ah, bless! I’d half forgotten about this. Ken Campbell sweet-talked my sample copy of the UK edition of Spock’s World off me when we were both on a BBC morning radio show, back in the day. :) (He was apparently a big Trek fan. Who knew.)

“The 18 crew members who work in-house at Walt Disney Studios who were eligible voters seek fair compensation for all hours worked, adequate health care and retirement benefits. The unionizing VFX workers are responsible for creating the special effects across the studio’s catalog, which includes ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ 'Aladdin,’ 'The Lion King’ and more, are also seeking the same rights and protections afforded to their unionized coworkers who are already represented by IATSE.”

use, and i cannot stress this enough, thriftbooks
if thriftbooks doesn’t have what you’re looking for, especially if you’re looking for it used/cheap, alternatives include betterworldbooks and discoverbooks.
Other tips for cheaper books is checking amazon and scrolling down to the “buy used” or “other sellers” section and then checking to see if those sellers have storerfonts off of amazon.
There is also a good chance that you might have a local, indie book store that likely also has a used book section! Indiebound might help you find those book stores!
Also, check out your local library, sometimes, they have a for sale section or might have certain times of the year where they do massive used book (dvd, cd, etc) sales to fundraise!
(It’s also worth checking directly from an author’s or publisher’s page and seeing if they have other places they sell their books. I know this is about cheaper/used books, since some of y’all aren’t built for piracy or the library, but also if you want to dodge supporting amazon AND want to more directly support artists you support, there’s a good chance they might have alternate ways to buy the books!)
I use thriftbooks a lot, it’s so good!
as someone who works in an independent bookstore, alibris is the best for supporting yr local bookstore! abebooks is now owned by amazon. thriftbooks is great also just doesn’t usually support independent stores.
