I finally made it into the sky I write, craft, swear a lot, play tabletop and video games, love tea, and will hit 40 this year.

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

Do you need to take a number or stand in line for screaming into the void or does it operate on "first come first served find some standing room" basis? Asking for a me.

This is fantastic. Promulgate it.
Text from Anil Dash's post "We Are Going to Kill 'Unalive'":

"Our creativity can be constrained by the language we use — our imaginations are limited by what we can think to say. If we’re trained to limit the words we speak just by habit, and those limits are put in place by people whose social, political, cultural and moral goals are the opposite of what we value, then our work is unalive before it is even born.

"The answer to this is simple: say what you mean. This will take, to some degree, courage. It may even take, I hesitate to say, some sacrifice. When I suggest this course of action to people, they inevitably say, “But it will cost me audience!” or “But what if I lose followers!” or “What if they demonetize me!”

"Okay, what if they do? What if they do."

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

It's been a second since I've gotten it out, but it's always a joy getting to play Splendor with the boyfriend using my custom stained glass tokens from @punklenix.bsky.social #boardgames
A hand-etched and shaped glass token for the game Splendor. It is perfectly imperfect and brings wondrous joy to people who see it.

It's getting late, it's quiet, it's dark, and I'm getting sleepy, so of course the brain is stirring up some bullshit. The mood'll pass and in the morning I'll be fine again, just annoying to have to ride it out until I fall asleep.
