It's #BannedBooksWeek, y'all By now, we don’t need to tell you about the alarming rise of book bans and challenges sweeping the country, specifically targeting books about folks in the margins. (It’s probably not a coincidence that it’s happening right alongside the rise of fascism, you know?)

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Talking of DnD, last session my DM (who I am also privileged to call my wife!) rolled out this masterpiece, entirely hand drawn in Copic markers. My character had accidentally spawned some sort of evil shadow doppelganger and we had to chase it though a whole cave network in the dark! #DnD #D&D

A hand drawn map of a dungeon, with a mix of man-made chambers and natural caverns. Copic markers on grid paper.

Several DnD miniatures in play. In the foreground, Skab, a goblin with delusions of grandeur and a very nice top hat. Facing him, Shadow Skab, a horrible demon that can hide in the dark and who has already killed several of the party's acquaintances.

We... did not defeat him.

Tomorrow, the Hillsboro City Council takes up severe restrictions on new data center development and a 1,000-foot school buffer. The ordinance allows ~500 acres acres for "existing, approved and vested data centers." The council won't vote tomorrow -- that's scheduled for Oct. 20.

To put it another way, you can’t just tell your sons they need to take accountability—you need to hold them accountable. Start with small stuff. Don’t shield them for the consequences of their actions. Walk them through the process of doing the wrong thing and turning it into the right thing.

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence
