I’m a big fan of Sistah Samurai by @obeytheauthor.bsky.social. Fast-paced, razor prose, wildly creative, and nails the chanbara feel I crave in samurai fantasy. Check this one out, it’s good! #fiction #fantasy
The cover for the book: Sistah Samurai: a champloo novella, by Tatiana Obey. A woman in a pink and black kimono stands with her sword drawn, sleeves and afro tossed by the breeze, against a gray textured background with falling cherry blossoms

Please don’t be rude or angry if you decide to send feedback. There are people on the other end of this form who probably didn’t realize this happened, and I quite like the peeps at FFG They definitely ought to put up an archive of their fictions, FAQs, and articles though. I’m biased, but it’s true

Apparently Twitter folks discovered some cheese has a halal label and that's worthy of boycott because... well, racism I guess? Most supermarket cheese is naturally halal. They don't use rennet anymore (except really pricey stuff). You wanna boycott halal cheese, I got some news for you.

Every time a Conservative clutches their pearls over 9/11, like who should or shouldn't attend memorials or what is good taste say about one of the USA's most traumatic days, remember that they're fine with this guy exploiting it and lying about what happened to give himself a "cool" backstory.

It's probably the most old man boomer thing I do: if the restaurant has a QR code link instead of a physical menu, I walk out without ordering anything, and I don't go back. I realize it's a small thing, but I am riddled with dozens of teeny digital chores throughout the day; I won't do one more.

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

Game design isn’t about being able to identify problems. Everyone who plays games can identify problems. Game design is about diagnosing player experience, having intent, and executing. I think to a lot of folks outside dev, game criticism (an art in itself) is seen as interchangeable with design.

There are two types of people: those who shake their heads and mutter “Nothing is sacred,” and those who excitedly and cheerfully announce “Nothing is sacred!” And which one of the two that you think should be leading the country says a lot about your politics.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

The vast majority of “anti-tech” positions are actually objecting to *how that tech is being used,* not the tech itself. Being anti nuclear bombs doesn’t inherently mean being anti nuclear energy, for instance.

I'm a bit of a weirdo in that I prefer to read critic ratings and reviews *after* I've seen the film, not before. The reason I read a critic's review is for an informed (and hopefully unique) interpretation of a movie, not to decide whether or not to see it. I realize I'm atypical.

Just a reminder that you cannot trust any online ratings for a movie or show with a female lead until several weeks after it releases, for the simple reason that Internet people cannot be normal about anything.
