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.

Should writers use unfamiliar or uncommon words? Yes, of course. Grow the fuck up.

Citizens are entitled to not trust their government. Just look at what's happening in the USA, with trans genocide and ethnic cleansing. Or the pogroms that just happened in Belfast yesterday. Data in the wrong hands is deadly — and our government ought to recognize that.

Here's what Canada's social media ban and age-verification bill looks like. Given the words "are effective", there's a good chance we might be getting our own forced "video selfie" or "upload your ID" system. Though there seems to be privacy safeguards baked in, this won't stop data breaches.

Obligation
27 (1) Subject to section 29, an operator must, with respect to every regulated social media service specified by regulations made by the Governor in Council under subsection (5) that it operates, implement adequate age-verification or age-estimation measures designed to prevent a person under the age of 16 from being able to have an account with, or be otherwise registered with, the service.
Adequacy of measures
(2) In order to determine whether the measures implemented under subsection (1) are adequate, the Commission must be satisfied that the measures

(a) are effective;

(b) do not involve the collection or use of personal information other than for age-verification or age-estimation purposes;

(c) provide for the destruction of personal information that is collected for age-verification or age-estimation purposes once the verification or estimation is completed;

(d) provide for the protection of personal information that is collected for age-verification or age-estimation purposes until that information is destroyed; and

(e) comply with any other requirement specified in the regulations.

No unreasonable or disproportionate limit on expression
(3) Subsection (1) does not require the operator to implement measures that unreasonably or disproportionately limit users’ expression.

My story out today (!) is a response to many things, like corporate greed and scarcity and innocence, but it’s also a response to Mom’s question “do you think you’ll ever use your civil engineering degree?” cause this is me using my civil engineering degree. Thank you @giganotosaurus.bsky.social !

At first blush this looks great, haven't dug into it and whatever weirdness it might bring to ecosystems. That said, it doesn't all have to suck. It doesn't. Things can be repaired and made better. We don't have to be in thrall to small minds who just want to rule over dwindling resources.

I have been thinking about the opening and closing paragraphs of this section for days

A section of text from Samuel Delany’s Babel-17, reading: Drop a gem in thick oil. The brilliance yellows slowly, ambers, goes red at last, dies. That was the leap into hyperstatic space.
At the computer console, Rydra pondered the charts. The dictionary had doubled since the trip began. Satisfaction filled one side of her mind like a good meal. Words, and their easy patterning, facile always on her tongue, in her fingers, ordered themselves for her, revealing, defining, and revealing.
And there was a traitor. The question, a vacuum where no information would come to answer who or what or why, made an emptiness on the other side of her brain, agonizing to collapse.
Someone had deliberately broken those plates. Lizzy said so, too.
What words for this? The names of the entire crew, and by each, a question mark.
Fling a jewel into a glut of jewels. This is the leap out of hyperstasis into the area of the Alliance War Yards at Armsedge.

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

a handmade marionette monster photographed in front of a snowbank. it has long arms with branch-like hands, a long neck with a false human face & a lower jaw like a sperm whale, & is dressed in all white/off-white lace & rags with pearl accents. watermark says "Ezra Rose"

a close up of the face of the marionette with its open jaw & teeth visible below.
