Faces and fascism
The thing about me is that I love a face. I love to see a face and think good god, that's a face. A face that gives the world assurance of a face, do you know what I mean? But another thing about me…

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

As a 60 year old man I've suddenly realised that as a small child I fell in love with Milly Molly Mandy from reading the books. I've been searching for a grown up Milly Molly Mandy all my life. Literature can really fuck you up.

A screenshot of a tumblr post by user “reggiemess” featuring a classical-style painting of a woman reclining and reading a small red book. The woman is shown in profile, with dark hair and pale clothing, against a muted brown background.

Overlaid white text on the image reads:

“Before, writers didn't use AI, they stole their wife's work and claimed it was theirs.”

"Perhaps pro-AI developers didn't want to talk to me or I just didn't run into any during my survey, because I heard an overwhelmingly negative assessment of generative AI's origins, capabilities, and risks. By the end, I'd heard dozens of developers make a case against using gen AI at all"

If you shut people in a room with an electric shock device and nothing else, they will literally give themselves repeated painful shocks rather than be bored. I can believe hobby fascism falls under that umbrella of human WTFery.

this man's levels of game are beyond mere mortals.
“Some years ago, I threw a Jane Austen party with several other Janeites I knew, complete with games, period food (syllabubs are much more alcoholic than I thought), etc. A male friend on the edge of my social circle turned out to be a Jane fan, too. He not only attended the party but also prepared a piece of period music to perform, the exact kind of entertainment Jane or her characters would have enjoyed of an evening. This man is now my husband. Paul supports me through all my writing, but in the case of The Murder of Mr. Wickham, he also helped me work out questions of characterization and plot as only another Austen devotee could. Thanks for everything, babe.”
