I am a Person with Disabilities #pwd, unable to work, and living in #poverty. I am writing this story as a way to keep my mind off the poverty and maybe show that folks like myself CAN still contribute to society, even if we can't work a conventional job. Any Support Helps

Carry on
You're not alone
Make as if this path
Will lead you safely home
In your spirit
Strone as stone
Know you are loved 
And will never be
Alone.

So how would you manage such personal hygiene needs in such a situation. I've seen some scifi use sonic showers instead of water showers in space environments to save on water recycling costs...would that be the way? a sonic bidet?
000
The Acorn Scribe @scribblenut.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Which is kind of a bother in such circumstances, especially if you don't have star-trek type replicators. Even with the parts of humanity that use a bidet...water is a fairly controlled resource in most scifi interstellar ships. RL astronauts use wet wipes. again, a resource issue.

#TheSalvagersPlague Currently righting a scene where Thomas and Boudya are talking about different species design quirks after one of those quirks causes a safety hazard... and it has me thinking about bathroom issues on interstellar ships. Like, so much of humanity uses toilet paper...

hehe, new #TheSalvagersPlague lore. The colony of New Quebec made it illegal for anyone other than a mecical professional to refer to themselves as "doctor" They instead use "professeur" instead

The Acorn Scribe @scribblenut.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Yup. testing out throwing "merde" and "zut" into Thomas' dialog, and I like the feel of it. Definitely gonna have to go back and add some more quebecois turns of phrase into earlier chapters. It'll add more colour.
020
The Acorn Scribe @scribblenut.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
4)Thinking of the whole New Quebec thing, I've half a mind to canon it that it was colonized by people from Quebec, CA that were part of the separatist movement, and finally got sick of shit in Canada, loaded themselves on a colony ship and flipped Canada the bird on the way out
000
The Acorn Scribe @scribblenut.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
3)I find myself wondering to myself how the Benastian Cooperative's government is set up. I'm kind of contemplating making them almost socialist/communist. I mean, they're known for being hedonists and not monogamous in the slightest. The idea of their society being one based on sharing fits.

The Acorn Scribe @scribblenut.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
2) I suddenly want to go back through the 90 something chapters, and adapt Thomas and Jesse's dialog with more Quebecois expressions. If nothing else, maybe add the occasional *merde* or *tabernac* since they grew up on a colony named "New Quebec"

Volume 5 – Chapter 14
We, as humans, have the annoying tendency towards judging a species by their looks, and it would be far too typical for us to fall into this trap with the Giobhioni. With their diminutive size, green skin, large pointed ears and frighteningly pointed teeth, they have reminded more than one person of the goblins from popular fiction. It would be an incredible mistake to fall into the trap of thinking of them this way, a mistake that could lead to the misfortune of the individual, and the loss of a potent ally to the Commonwealth.

I’m sure by now, most people have heard of the frightening events that have taken place at Laszlo’s Reach. I am here today to address the Commonwealth, and assure everyone that the Fleet has been mobilized to address the hostile action taken by unknown forces upon our colony there. We will not stand by and allow this intolerable action against our citizens.

#Calligraphy #Fraktur #Blackletter #IrishMythology #SecondBattleofMoytura #TheMorrigan From "The Second Battle of Moytura", a story of the Tuatha de Danann, this is the Morrigan's Prophecy of Peace, one of three poems/chants from her within the story.
Peace to the sky,
Sky to the earth,
Earth beneath sky,
Strength in each man,
A cup full of honey,
Honour enough,
Summer in winter,
Spear supported by shield,
Shields supported by forts,
Forts fierce and eager for battle,
Fleece from sheep,
Woods full of stags,
Forever destructions have departed,
Fruit on trees,
A branch drooping down,
Drooping from growth,
Wealth for a son,
A son very learned,
Neck of bull in yoke,
A bull from a song

Volume 5 – Chapter 12
When the inquiry into what had befallen Bertha’s Bones on its final contract began, I took no joy at the idea that I might have to revoke Mr. Aacen’s certifications. He was one of the guild’s brightest minds, and even at that stage, had made quite a name for himself. And given his relationship with Boudya Mend’nasa, an equally promising member of the guild, such an action was likely to cause a fair amount of backlash.
