"No," the swordmaster said. "One does not refuse the king," the herald said. "I do. I will not train his soldiers or officers, I will not tell my students to join his army, I will not support his unjust war." "You will regret this!" "No," the swordmaster said.

Apparently our literary magazine ranked our English professors from most likely to least likely to survive the zombie apocalypse and I came in dead last and you know what, they are absolutely right, I was not built to fight zombies, I was built to eat cheese and read smutty books

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for! If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

Alt text: a graph showing a massive spike in anti-trans articles per 30 days. The x axis starts in 2012, most of the spike is just in the last decade The spike really starts to kick in around 2017 or so, corresponding almost *perfectly* with powerful sexual predators feeling threatened by MeToo.

I’m thinking of my great aunt Ortensia tonight. She eloped w/my autistic uncle, who had a handmade wedding ring in his pocket for 20 yrs, as he waited for her to bring up the idea first. He was 75 when she finally did & he drove straight to Vegas Every year on her birthday, he hired a mariachi band

The thing I think many peeps resistant to the idea of open borders fail to remember? The world already basically has open borders. If you have money. Seriously. Those with wealth can generally live wherever they want. Maybe everyone should have that opportunity.

I dreamed ten cows were swimming in a swimming pool. “My cow is the one with the splotchy face,” said a woman. “My cow is the one who wears a duck like a hat,” I said. “Quack,” said the duck. “Moo,” said the cow. “So it is written in the Book of Life,” said an ominous narrator.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

Means testing costs money and burdens clients as well as service providers. It's the red tape conservatives claim to hate. Excluding the rich makes the service feels like charity to those who qualify, and it ensures that those who don't qualify have no stake in protecting the program.

You should definitely read this article by Kerry, about the Policy of Exclusion implemented by the Mormon church in 2015 and its impact on her life. I also wrote about it, almost ten years ago, but now I'm more closely aligned to Kerry's perspective. benmillett.net/blog/neutral...

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here. BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

What Color Is That?
No seriously, what color is that? I genuinely cannot tell. Aim your camera at a color — get its name, details, matches, plus colorblind palettes and simulation. Save colors with personal labels.
