Loved Anne McCaffrey and Mercedes Lackey and I would still say the sci-fi and fantasy genres were heavily male-dominated. Recently looked up a list of top 20 litrpg titles...exactly 1 had a female protag. Where is this unavoidable deluge of women authors? Is OP reading YA romance exclusively?

This would require me to have ever frequented either store, I'm afraid. I don't drink coffee and B'ham has probably 50 Mexican places better than Chipotle... I honestly don't see how they stay in business to begin with.

Oh, no we didn't leave New Orleans to die. Just the undesirables inconveniently in the way of gentrifying the place! It's so much better (more expensive) now that we've cleaned it up (whiter, souless), don't you agree? /s

Lowe's is not great, but better than Home Depot in terms of how their donations fall. They are definitely all in on Flock cameras, though. ACE Hardware is less centralized, so one store might be whole-chest MAGA and another completely anti-Trump.

Christ himself gives us that the Greatest Commandment is to love God, and the second greatest is to love our neighbor. When asked who counts as "neighbor" He tells the Good Samaritan story. So, if we find an interpretation that leads us away from that, we need to refocus. Not teach fear.

It is honestly not difficult if you are a Christian who is not a Bible literalist. Also, are you aware that the concept of literal, physical Hell as presented by evangelicals is not in the Bible? The old testament uses 'Sheol,' (the grave) and new speaks only of damnation and eternal separation.

I just realized when you click on the Jukebox in Mama Paca's it actually changes the ambient music. It only cycles between two, I think, but I was tickled. And yes, I'm replaying a demo. I needed to see the Shirren Operative, you see... 🐛 #Starfinder #Afterlight

"Hard-coded credentials" means the security checks for the cameras are fixed. They don't change. If you have the credentials, you have access to Flock and without a massive overhaul you will always have access to Flock. And those credentials leaked.

But otoh, ad revenue is a mainstay. How different would everything look if companies decided advertising wasn'tworth it? What would news look like? What would we just straight lose vs how much would we find had been unnecessary grubby rent-seeking? 2/2

When was the last time you deliberately bought something because of an ad you saw? So much of our existence now is so deluged with advertising, I wonder if the effectiveness isn't greatly diminished because of the saturation... 1/2

I do support trans rights. Royce White does not. And intends harm.

Leliel @leliel13.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
The WNBA doesnt want to be demanding proof of sincerity for trans athletes - nor should it. Royce's fishing for a lawsuit to force it to do exactly that. That's why I ask if there's a behavior clause that would let them reject without granting the notoriety or legal standing he wants.
100
Leliel @leliel13.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Sure! But this doesn't seem to be that kind of scenario. This seems to be the basketball equivalent of a bigot charging into the women's restroom to harass any trans women there. :/ Royce is an openly anti-LGBT right-wing politican. I suspect if I called him "she" on the street he'd be offended.

Leliel @leliel13.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Hormones are too variable, and often higher than average in athletes. You'd cut mostly cis women with that. Does the WNBA have any ability to refuse to allow a player for conduct/behaviour reasons? Seems it would be easy to refuse this guy on the basis of being hateful and manipulative.

Japanese rant: So, the kanji for book is 本。 But for counting books, the counter is 冊。 本 IS a counter, but for long, cylindrical objects. Which begs the question: what about scrolls? They are booklike when open and cylindrical when rolled? Hah hah, neither. They use 枚. (Thin, flat objects)
