For a second I didn't realize this meant legal historian (studies history of law) and thought it meant legal historian (as opposed to illegal, potentially dangerous historian)

It's funny liking two baseball teams in different leagues because once a year they play each other and it's like a cartoon network crossover episode for no one except me

He's obsessed with "ending the war" because he kept complaining it's something Biden didn't do, so when it turns out there's a reason Biden didn't do it he gets really embarrassed and doubles down on it Geopolitics motivated by spite

Why can't those pesky Czechoslovaks quiet down about their rights? How will we ever win back the German public if we keep playing along with their delusions of "sovereignty"? Don't they know we're trying to prevent a second world war here?

It's very weird to be a queer person in America right now because we all know where this is going but until something more specific happens on a wide scale asylum is still dodgy They will do all of that and more, but they will go for us trans people first. That's what scares me

I still like when I can get a physical copy just because physical media is important etc etc but otherwise who cares Then again I'm one of these people who also thinks Minecraft builds are a valid form of art so maybe I'm just a radical

My theory is the hardcover is given a special place in western culture due to centuries of being scarce and the only physical store of knowledge. A lot of people I know don't even consider audiobooks "real" reading, even when it's literally the same book, let alone stuff only available online

TIL there is unreleased Mesopotamian yuri

Wikipedia article snippet that says: However, there are at least two pieces of textual evidence for Mesopotamian lesbianism.One is a divinatory text which mentions female same-sex activity, while another, more explicit text remains unpublished.

I would try to find a mechanical workaround, like rolling on a failure to try and get a 10. I spent good money on that coin

I have a weird one -- use a coin instead of dice for saving throws and initiative. I have a big novelty one and I make players call it correctly to succeed. Mathematical the same as rolling for 6 or higher but players get way more invested

At some point some cadre of writers became convinced it was more important to write a story that made them feel clever than a story that was actually good Imo the shorter the story, the better a twist hits because if it's foreshadowed you can go back and read it again

Woah, I've just published a short story to my blog! You can read it at www.skylerneversleeps.com/p/ouroboros

Text reading the following over a background of a snow-covered street:

It wasn’t the first time Arsh woke up in the middle of the night, sweat through his sheets, to the sense that someone was standing in the corner, watching him. It was, however, the first time he was right.
The sight of the stranger in the yellow lamplight was like an ice bath, paralysis climbing down his spine like a stepladder. She was leaning on the wall beneath his Blade Runner poster, blinking as her eyes adjusted to the color. She looked about forty, maybe fifty if the extra decade had been kind to her. Her black hair was falling on the shoulders of a blacker denim jacket, in all ways ordinary except that, instead of buttons or a zipper, each of the edges was lined with a metallic strip of a texture Arsh had never seen, like the spine of a robotic fish. There was a square-shaped device with a pulsing blue ring clipped to her belt like a pager. She was so casually still, a predator at ease, disassembling him with her gaze.
The only sounds were the low groan of the expanding radiator and his mother’s voice in his head. If someone breaks into the house, just let them take what they want. Your life is the most important thing.
“What do you want?” he croaked. It felt like shouting.
“Huh.” The woman tilted her head, as though rotating one of his components in her mind. When she spoke, there was a kind of buzz at the bottom of her voice. “You sound different from how I remember.”

My best guess as a person who hasn't taken a biology class since 10th grade is that they explain well enough what hormones do, but in a cisnormative way where it's never established that they work basically the same regardless of AGAB And garden-variety transphobia of course

Didn't Aristotle write about this? Why do people keep insisting one or the other is morally superior? Are we that determined to ignore the entire history of storytelling?
