As I picked up the empty food bin to wash, the cats rushed into the kitchen, horrified eyes full of the knowledge that the magical artifact that enables their way of life was in my hands.

Seeing this again has dredged up a memory of enjoying Marlfox a lot but really wanting there to have been a token good Marlfox (like the kitty in Mossflower!) so I made a self-insert OC to fill the role.

There are times when JKR seemed to sidle up to moral issues with the Wizarding World like this (I seem to remember Dumbledore pointing out to the Minister that their treatment of nonhumans was pushing them towards Voldemort), but then she reverses course and decides the status quo is fine after all.

I will say one other thing: if you are one of the people who left a one-star review on Tillie Walden's book on Amazon about this, the apology you absolutely must make is to delete your review, BUY HER BOOK, and then and only then, leave the review you think it deserves after reading the whole thing.

Pick a song you like, and play around with swapping out lyrics. Sing them out loud to yourself. Get a feel for what works and doesn't and figure out why. But also ask yourself what work you want the song to do and whether there's a different way to do that that plays to your strengths.

New space guy just dropped! This is Quinxy, Petra's longtime bestie who frequents the same tech forums as Codi. She's content in her life, but afraid all her friends are moving on and leaving her behind. (Design by @boneburger.bsky.social, featuring his Kril and Jiida, follow him for more cuties!)

A green rodian girl with long and skinny limbs and fingers and sparkly space eyes. Left is a quickly colored version where she's holding a small electric device and a long wrench. On the right she's got a corded landline phone held between her shoulder and her ear while she workds on a large electronic device with an open battery compartment with many wires coming out of it. She's saying "I mean, of course he's into you! But you can't just open with... like... well, that! Don't "what" me, Petra, you know!"

Bottom is her at a diner bar holding a melting sundae while crying on the table about how "All my friends are getting boyfriends and girlfriends and now they won't have time to hang out with meeeeeeee TT.TT". The diner owner is smiling politely while holding a rag next to the melting ice cream, while a confused looking Rodian perches on the bar (Ocs by @boneburger). Text at the top shares her name, Quinxy (Quinn/Winx).

I remember poking at something like this through the lens of the first run of Runaways, which undercut their rebellious teen heroes by making their parents supervillains and giving them a fear that exerting influence over society would turn them into their parents.

No, the post conveyed exactly what it needed to convey, then provided a link so that skeptical readers could confirm. "This post needs more context" is only a valid criticism if the context actually changes the meaning.

I feel this. Our parents were great about a lot of things growing up, but I feel like they were a bit too suspicious about us wanting to stay home. Granted, they eventually gave in and let me have my mental health days, but I think that was more shrugging their shoulders because my grades were good

And then a reader clicks the link offered in the thread and confirms that it is a statement about transgender participation in sports, deems the NCAA ban on transgender athletes as appropriate, and ends on a note emphasizing "fair competition and a level playing field."

Here's a life hack for profs who want to make their classrooms family-friendly, student-friendly spaces: If a family member calls you while you're teaching, TAKE THE CALL. Ask if it's an emergency, and when they say no, remind them that you're teaching, and say you'll call back. And then...

One could justifiably argue that that still concedes too much, but it at least conveys that the priority is minimizing exclusion, not trying to find a new compromise with the people who blew up the previous working compromise.

Kaigen @kaigen.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Consider how the meaning changes if you swap the clauses: "While restrictions may be appropriate under some circumstances, local bodies and associations should minimize unnecessary exclusion."
