@clive@saturation.social Saving it to read on bus! My crow friends would love it if I wore a bread hat.

@clive@saturation.social I like to refer to the opposite of “doomscrolling” as “gleefreshing!”

@clive@saturation.social Number 7 (the book with probabilistic text) reminds me of Find the Fox, a 200-page word search book that has just the letters 'F', 'O', and 'X' in all of its grids but only one instance of the word 'FOX' in *the whole book* to find. I'm reminded of this because, in order to prevent spoilers, the author used a script to generate the grids in each copy - no two books have the fox in the same place!
