Thing what I have learned!

You can use a toilet plunger on a clogged shower drain!

In retrospect, this seems obvious, but I've only seen or heard of plungers being used on toilets. (Probably because toilets are the most likely thing to become plugged up.) I have a shower which doesn't drain well and frequently gets stopped up no matter how carefully I keep hair from going down the drain, and usually I just poor Drano down it, but I saw a video from Ask This Old House about unclogging drains and they talked about using a plunger with a bathtub as one option, so I tried it and it worked! That tub has never drained so quickly!

Amongst Our Weapons fandom reaction

The newest Rivers of London book came out this week, and as soon as I finished it, I was eager to go online and discuss it with people who love Rivers of London. The discord and dreamwidth communities being fairly quiet, I went on tumblr. And was surprised by what I found.

The strongest and most common reaction so far seems to be distress about Nightingale ( Cut for spoilers )

And, you know, I love Nightingale too! Nightingale is a great character. He's powerful, he's got an air of mystery about him, he's charming and posh, he's got a tragic backstory, I love him too. But Peter is great, too. Peter is funny and determined and caring and deeply principled and is aware of the evil and injustice in the world and very realistic about it, but never allows that to drag him down or let the ends justify the means.
