My kid's camp used to sing a very similar version of that song and one verse was "I'm gonna be like Jackie Chan." The children would all then do their best Jackie Chan imitation and the song would come to a halt as we dealt with accidents and injuries.

Okay, and what are you and they going to do about it? Get involved in politics and shift the policies.

Mutual and AND voting is more effective than MA alone.

Hello! As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatts. The first terawatt took 20 years. The second took 33 months. The third has arrived in 19 months. Friend, it is getting better! (Just maybe not for the US. We got the suck.)

Me too but the dude was born the same year as ENIAC. We need to foster a deep bench of progressive candidates who *also take the job seriously* so that we don't have to count on a man who will be close to 90 by the time he retires. Moulton ain't that guy but who is gonna take over in t6 years?

Right? But I am so exhausted by this choice. Can the olds please retire and let folks come up?

My father (civil engineer), spent his whole time at Disney conducting experiments to determine things like "how long does a piece of trash stay on the ground" (less than a minute), and trying to find the entrances to the hidden infrastructure (they stopped him before he got in). You are not alone.

Having read @tkingfisher.com's new Daggerbound (fabulous, everyone should read), I went back to the Clocktaur Wars to reintroduce myself to young, idiot Learned Edmund. I'd forgotten about the scene when Caliban meets the priestess of the Wild Goddess and I would very much like more of her, please?

My introduction: At a con in 2006, heavily pregnant and thus pretty distinctive, when a woman ran up to me and said "Are you a Snarry?" "I don't think so but maybe?" She apologized and ran away. (The other pregnant woman at the con was in fact a Snarry and explained when we met in the bathroom.)

Career as travel writer. I enjoyed the hell out of it (until I got laid off recently) but I strongly discourage everyone who comes to me for advice. It is not what anyone imagines.

damebodacious.bsky.social @damebodacious.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Same. I realized sometime in my 40s that most of my life was spent consuming media by and about and for men. I figure if I live to be 80 and read only not-men until then, I'll have sampled about equally from the human experience. (I have a handful of dudes I'll read but it gets smaller daily)

damebodacious.bsky.social @damebodacious.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Yeah. That's less than I paid TWENTY YEARS AGO for my little box of 800 square feet in the sky (I have neither land nor a balcony). But I have dozens of coffeeshops and fifteen world class museums I can walk to. Trade offs.

The one scifi short story I was assigned to read was under a terrible teacher who insisted "the only way to read scifi is as satire."

I got accused of being AI because I formatted a post with subheaders. My dear friend, I have been a professional writer for 30+ years and there are literally thousands of words of mine on newspaper and magazine and internet archives to be scraped. I don't format like AI -- AI formats *like me.*

I know, and yet it will bug me. It's like how i don't like raspberries. It's a weird me problem and I's aware enough that I will not inflict it upon others.

Endgame. The cheer when Thunder-Cap happened was DEAFENING. Took til my third viewing to hear Thor say "I knew it!" Though my biggest personal reaction was during Dante Peak -- I screamed in sheer terror at one point, discovering a previously unknown phobia about lava. Sorry everyone in the theater.

I mean, depends on your hair but I do very short on the back, medium short on the side, and slightly longer (like 2.5 inches) on top. Wash twice a week, brush into a deep side part, scrunch up the hair on top, let air dry (I've only been able to do this since I went grey and my hair has body now.)
