When I was a kid I didn't really understand how companies work so I thought Wizards of the Coast was like an actual group of wizards who used their wands to make pokemon cards.

The world is full of good people who can't afford to have kids, and shitty people who don't deserve the kids they have.

What she does now is something called singlestick, it's a form of swordfighting practice that is sorta like fencing if fencing used hickory rods instead of thin springy metal. Yes it hurts. Enya is also very good at that, and has even won a regional championship.

Baseball is big in the Republic of Motornin, so are shooting sports and there has been an emerging market for automobile and aircraft racing as well. Enya played baseball when she was younger, but she didn't have the time after she had her daughters. She was very good at it, legendary even.

There isn't really a word for goodbye, other than to say "I am leaving." "Ama ess nosh!" or "Ama nosh" informally.

Timothea! I skipped this one! So, the chunes have different ways to say hello. Also, the chunes are very direct. Hakio is how you greet someone you don't like. Hario is how you greet people you don't know well. Jio is how you greet someone you do like.

SethoAinoik. Setho meaning beast, Ainoik meaning era. So, the word Setho means beast, but it can also sometimes poetically be used to refer to a machine, so trains and trucks are also Setho. SethoAinoik means literally "era of beasts/machines" and is the Chunish word for industrial revolution.

JiMeko, Ji means small, this historically has been used to refer to nobles that are high ranking, but not a queen, so Grand Dukes and the like.

OBjork, O meaning divine again, Bjork is a dog. The word is used when referring to very large dog breeds like Great Danes or Malamutes. OMeko, divine authority, the Chunish word for king/queen/emperor JanMeko, Jan means beloved, Meko is authority. This is a family/clan matriarch.

Others are OHakni, O meaning divine, and Hakni meaning suffering. This is a word used to refer to a chune's religious duties. SethoMee, Setho means beast, and Mee is an honorific used to refer to a slave master. SethoMee is a muleskinner, master of beasts.

So what does it mean? A RijanJema is a mother who can only give birth to baby girls, some chunes are like that, it's a little quirk with how their sex chromosomes work.

110

Cori Palladium @coripalladium.bsky.social · 8h

Here's something unique to Chunish biology. There is a word, RijanJema. Rijan is the base word, base words come first. Jema is the modifier. Rijan means mother, Jema is a girl. It translates roughly to mother of girls, or girl mom.

Those did exist at the time, but I don't see her choosing a food truck when a restaurant was also an option. After all, anyone who choses to drive a truck in the 1920s and 1930s knows you absolutely will get dirty and greasy hands, and then handling food is a bad idea.

SOV, with clear subject and object markers. Chunish is actually a toki ponoid language, it uses the same grammar, as well as the extensive use of combining simple words together to form more complex concepts.

"Then who has the best big trucks?" Honestly I have to hand it to the Canadians. I'm all about made in the USA, but our upstairs neighbors know what they're doing.

Slavaboos telling me all about how the Russians have the best trucks in the world. Massive cargo haulers with 4 sets of tracks designed to handle routes that have never seen a road. Meanwhile here in the US, we just have roads, and we use them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Calling it Russian propaganda has gotten really cliche, which is a problem because a lot of the time, it is in fact Russian propaganda.

yeah well he is also like 6'8" and worked all through college so he probably could have handled it a little more easily than most people. (don't ask how he fit in the mustang. I don't know either.)

I remember my dad told me that when we went to college in Wyoming (I think he was driving a 67 mustang with the Inline 6 back then) he used to remove the battery from his car and keep it inside overnight just to keep it from being too cold to start in the morning.

Well shit I know I passed by a disabled car the other day coming back from Jeff City. I wonder if that's what that was. Still, missing for weeks on a country road and nobody stopped to look at what was going on? I at least had the excuse of driving at night.

PRESS RELEASE

Hi :) I'm actually super busy right now but my autism has compelled me to answer the car question.

Cori Palladium @coripalladium.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I guess it could be an issue with the spark or fuel pump, but if they made it that far, that's just not as likely.

010

Cori Palladium @coripalladium.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

They're probably moving the car away from the pump to make room for other drivers while awaiting a tow truck.

Cori Palladium @coripalladium.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

#WriteStuff Bad starter, most likely. The car presumably got there recently, so they aren't likely completely out of gas, and the engine is probably still warm. If it didn't start again, it's likely to be a bad starter or solenoid.

Making complex plans requires the kind of complex multi stage thinking that Enya just is not good at. She tends to think more procedurally, taking steps closer to the goal without thinking too hard about what the next step is going to be.

Some food is grown locally, but the environment is too dry to grow enough maze and beans to feed everyone, so a lot of it is shipped in by train.

Water comes in from Vega Peak via an aqueduct. Allegedly, the federal government is planning on damming a nearby river to create a nice big reservoir and generate power but that'll probably never happen, especially since the stock market crash is causing too many funding issues.

Every time you've ever seen a janitor in the background getting silently annoyed whenever the main characters do something stupid, but tolerates it anyway because they have no more passion for life. Yeah, that's pretty much spot on
