Podsothoth

Podsothoth: A #Lovecraft Book Club, is a pandemic hobby that got out of hand by a hacker and a lawyer.

Hosted by @todb and @hotdogitsclaire, we read, discuss, and make jokes about the works & influences by and on #HPLovecraft. We also talk about other #Lovecraftian things on this #horror-comedy #podcast, which apparently is now the 6th most popular Lovecraft podcast on Apple Podcasts, inexplicably. This account is usually puppeteered by Tod. (#fedi22)

I’m hopeful we’ll record today but right at this moment we’re at Roper Romp, a costume bar thing where you dress like the Ropers from Three’s Company.

So we’ll see.

I did all the homework. I hope we record.

Correspondence with the Widener Library at Harvard, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the British Museum, the University of Buenos Aires, and the Library of Miskatonic University at Arkham had failed to get him the loan of a book he desperately wanted; so at length he set out in person, shabby, dirty, bearded, and uncouth of dialect, to consult the copy at Miskatonic, which was the nearest to him geographically.

It's time to get on the bandwagon!

One boost = one tidbit about a classic woman science fiction writer who *isn't* Mary Shelley, Ursula K. Le Guin, Octavia Butler, or James Tiptree Jr. (great as they are!)

@rk I got to screen this for @hotdogitsclaire and she was delighted and also we agreed that it’s a crime that Garret Morris didn’t have a cameo in Ant-Man.

Three eggs for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Basket to rule them all, One Basket to find them,

One Basket to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Odd request: Do I know anyone who is legitimately conversant in, or an expert about, ancient Etruscan magic?

It's for work. :)

I have some specific questions and trying to go beyond what Wikipedia tells me.
