when I travel I like to go on nature tours and there's a certain kind of person who likes talking about nature to tourists all day every day and so somehow I've been told this in multiple countries (my response is usually along the lines of 'oh, huh, but can you tell me more about this bird?')

I gather the SF&F subgenre formerly referred to as'blokes in cloaks' is now to be known as 'mantasy', and may be considered the counterpart to 'guy fi'. You may now go on with your day.

The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking? Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me. 1/

they once sent me flatpack for a large bookshelf in three boxes: A, A, and C, and when I called and said I needed a box B, they sent it along and told me to just keep the extra A, probably so I would have to be the one to figure out wtf to do with it

The news coverage of Mamdani's oath of office reminded me of this: in Minnesota, there is a gorgeous Qu'ran that is used by Minnesotan Muslims to swear into office. They then sign it. sahanjournal.com/democracy-po...
sahanjournal.com
A special Qur’an holds the signature of almost every Minnesota Muslim elected to office. At a historic swearing-in ceremony, three Minneapolis City Council members added their names to the list.

Thinking of how I can trick romance authors into promoting their books with a one sentences description of what actually happens again. We gotta ease off the trope only vibes. WHAT HAPPENS!
