Let's just take a moment to remember that my gender expression is inextricably linked to this song in ways I cannot communicate effectively.

250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!

[cowboyhatesithere]

Hey so a small thing that literally everyone who sees this is capable of is correcting any “used to” statements about native people in this country.

“Native people used to live in this National Park” No. They still do.

“Native people used to tell these stories-” No. They still do.

“Native people used to use this plant as a natural remedy-” No. They still do.

Better yet, familiarize yourself with the tribes local to you. Odds are, they do not yet have federal recognition. You can still read the stories they have to share, you can share their ongoing battle for recognition with others, you can sign petitions and spread the word to others to do so as well. But do something.

my petty gripe about anachronism in historical/fantasy/spec-fic worlds is attraction language.

We’ve all heard the “should you use modern queer labels or not” argument but honestly even when people go “true, they wouldn’t use the labels ‘aromantic’ or ‘asexual,’” so often the characters describe their experiences as “I never felt romantic attraction” or “I don’t feel attracted to anyone” in ways that makes me go. You are stilllllll thinking about this in an extraordinarily modern online way. That 19th century steampunk detective man will NOT be angsting about having never felt romantic attraction, he would be angsting about being unable to feel moved by the beauty or charm of a woman, or something. And I do think that “attractiveness” language is different from the identity-level idea of experiencing attraction—Sherlock Holmes does not talk about not experiencing attraction, but when Watson says “What a very attractive woman!” Holmes responds “Is she? I did not observe.” (And then Watson calls him an inhuman automaton and calculating-machine and Holmes calls Watson’s judgement biased). Never swayed by the attractiveness of a man or woman, never desirous of marriage, never charmed by the delights of love, all of these feel like some of the variety of ways that someone in this milieu might describe an ace- or aro-spectrum identity more than “never felt attraction” does. Mostly because, like the terms for aromantic and asexual themselves, nailing down an exclusively attraction-based definition of a-spec identities is a relatively new and extremely post-AVEN thing. And yet in fiction everybody knows to articulate their experience as feeling sexual/romantic attraction. And I always want to go nooo how would THIS character think about it?? Not how you think this character SHOULD think about it, how would THIS person in THIS context articulate their feelings?

If you haven’t seen the meme, it’s three photos of me showing my flapjacks to the judges and then a quote, I don’t remember saying this but apparently it’s how I talk, says “Started making it, had a breakdown, bon appétit”

The Man The Myth The Legend

[paradoxspaceheater]

much has been said about this but really just imagine. you're csevet aisava, a courier at the lord chancellor's office, and you've just been tasked (or perhaps, gotten yourself the task through whatever office politics means are available to you) of delivering the news to the new emperor that he is, in fact, the emperor.

you know that your boss the lord chancellor is ambitious, and since you've read his letter you know he's stalling the proper procedures, possibly deliberately, and will certainly try to benefit from the power vacuum and presumable incompetence of said emperor—the only thing you, or anyone, know about him is vague rumors that he might be insane.

you arrive at the place and it's the most badly lit, cramped, dilapidated, drafty, horrible manor you have ever delivered to. the person who is presumably your new emperor greets you half-dressed in dirty clothes. he is barefoot, his hair is not even braided, and he is accompanied by a man who is possibly drunk and blatantly contemptuous to both of you.

despite this ridiculousness, you follow the proper protocols (as much as there are protocols for this situation) and get your letter delivered. the emperor proves himself less Maybe Actually Feral and more just... possibly terrified, most especially of his guardian. while you are processing this you are informed that you are to escort the two of them back to court on the same airship by which you arrived, which you have to know was not part of the lord chancellor's plan and may very well lose you your job.

this might as well happen, i guess. it's not like you really have a choice. maybe you can just scurry away once you arrive at court—oh the emperor wants you to show him around. OH he wants to know who you are. like actually you think he might care about you. ok new plan. fuck your job, fuck the lord chancellor, this guy is your life now.

and you just fully commit to that!

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

[orchidvioletindigo]

There's a disconnect happening here because the primary function of social media for most casual users is to form a circle of friends around the usual things that friendships are built on: shared interests and lifestyles and ideas of what is important and what is unacceptable. When people are mainly doing leftism on social media, this encourages thinking of leftism as centered around establishing high-minded social clubs.

For anyone who still isn't getting it from someone who helps people IRL: There's a difference between whom you're helping to feed at the mealshare and whom you're choosing to hang out with for fun after the mealshare. You don't have to invite a hungry person with opinions you don't like to play board games with you, but you do have to help keep them from starving if you're serious about leftist organizing.

I only just realized that Beshelar's outburst is not about Setheris, but actually about Maia. He's nowhere near as horrified at Setheris' behavior as he is that it happened to Maia, the nicest and most gracious person in Osreth (even moreso than Cala, as we learned a few pages earlier), and that no one cared to save Maia. Yes, abusing your charge is bad, but that's Beshelar's charge who was abused. Of course he's furious and overly emotional and breaking all rules of etiquette! Wouldn't you if you'd sworn to protect someone and you realized there were times you couldn't?

[dont-stop-her-now]

Beshelar really shows his whole heart in that scene and I find it so fascinating that Maia can't see it even remotely.

Personally I think Maia should have only girls and just absolutely refuse to get remarried.

Idra should also have only girls or (sorry! sorry!) die young

Because if Maia didn't exist and Idra had died in all the plotting this would have been the courts reality

I just like the idea of an aging Maia sitting back and letting the court work itself into knots
