Why is it that JK Rowling being a shithead prompts so much weirdness from Harry Potter fans, but nobody was ever this weird about Bill Cosby or Neil Gaiman?
Bill Cosby's films and Neil Gaiman's books are not the centerpoint for a anyone's identity, or a giant fundraiser for a fascist hate movement.
Harry Potter is this massive cultural property that forms the entire identities of a lot of millennials, and actively consuming it is basically giving money to Hitler. Those two things clash and cause shockwaves.
This would be like if it turned out Game Freak was giving money to Epstein, and therefore buying Pokemon was financially supporting a pedophile ring. That's the level of garbage we're on.
Thats actually funny because Nintendo uses legal fuckery to dead ass enslave people (defined here as either working indefinitely without pay or being compelled to indefinitely forfeit your labor to a third party) who find their discarded dev tech. Not too many people boycotting the plumber, though. It's probably because these are all individual legal cases and not demographic based. Their most egregious case was actually over pokemon, where they got a Canadian court to put Gary Bowser (I swear you couldn't make this shit up) in jail and fined him $10 million to Nintendo and 3.5 million dollars in additional fines in future earnings for posting about finding a dev kit in a landfill on social media.
I agree with you, but your example wasn't quite on the mark.
After much introspection and soul searching I've turned over a new leaf and have decided to continue making poison swamps 😌
I just had this mental image of Miyazaki.LLM getting asked if there will be more swamps only to swing back with "model analysis of >1.4 million responses indicate poison swamps are good for gamer brains and should be included as a core element of every gamer enrichment regimen."
“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”
No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.
Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.
Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has
The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.
The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.
Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.
You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.
You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.
I know cooking is a field of study a lot of people find complex already, but I can't help but feel like the higher-end of coking 'content' or just popular education on the matter, dumbs down a lot of what's going on significantly.
I think I'm a pretty good cook, and I do excessive amounts of experimentation. I frequently have had to look up the thermal conductivity of various substances in the kitchen because it was imminently relevant and affected cooking times.
Like baking cookies on an iron sheet versus an aluminum one. One day all my aluminum pans were dirty so I had to use the iron one from the back of the cupboard. I had to know just how much less thermally conductive it was, because that affects how fast the bottom of the cookie cooks & therefore the center of it.
Today I was experimenting with a new type of fudge, and its failure to solidify was based on how diffuse the ingredients were in its medium. These are things that can be calculated, planned for & adapted to. But I just don't see that being discussed really.
idk. I think there's room for more scientific thinking in the cultural ideas of cooking. in the same way that a pro baseball player is a master of physics and momentum, cooks are masters of heat transfer, mixtures and emulsion.
I had to know just how much less thermally conductive it was, because that affects how fast the bottom of the cookie cooks & therefore the center of it.
I present my wife and her quantifiably "not normal" brain. This is what I have playing in my ear every day. Someone at UCSF is going to be teaching "Variant Neurology 703" someday with a micron-accurate model of this bitch's brain in the digital textbook.
when I interact with you, a generalized you, I assume you're a complex entity with desires, anxieties, and a few shared "human" goals, like minimizing harm and maximizing happiness. I have a lot of base assumptions that I think are fair like, "people generally think that they are doing 'good' in a moral sense, even if we disagree on what 'good' is." This approach breaks down way more often than it should because so so often people are unwilling to make those same assumptions with regard to me. I am somewhat regularly assumed to be insane, ontologically evil, lacking personhood, or some variation of the above; in essence, impossible to come to an understanding with.
I think this experience is, for me, the core of using it pronouns and considering myself inhuman, or at least a major part. That in a way, humanity is something that has to be recognized to be extant - to be treated as subhuman is to feel subhuman is to be subhuman.
From the creators of political lesbianism I present to you "political it-ism".
Jokes aside, this sort of Satre-esque understanding of one's personhood and gender is one I sympathize with. The way society treats non passing trans women does make it difficult to recognize one's own identity as being of the same conceptual cloth as baseline humans.
At least that's my understanding of what you said. Let me know if I'm pissing on the poor.
In South Africa, we are trying to get Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Femicide declared a national disaster so that our government addresses the problem. The movement is being lead by Women For Change SA.
Every day in this country, 15 women are murdered. 117 rape cases are made every day in this country. In three months around 27000 GBV cases were made.
Our average of women killed is around 6 times higher than the global average.
Today, we have a national Shutdown where women aren’t doing any paid or unpaid labour, we are not going to the shop/buying anything, we are not doing anything.
And now, at 12:00, we are having 15 minutes of silence for the 15 women murdered every day.
We are wearing black and our profiles across social media are purple.
The petition as of right now has reached 1.1 million signatures to declare GBV and Femicide a national disaster. I’ve put the link at the bottom.
Today, I’m thinking about my grandmothers who both experienced GBV, I’m thinking of all my friends who have stories of r*pe/assault, I’m thinking of my childhood best friend who was murdered last year… We all have a story. And that is the most heartbreaking realisation. It’s not all men, but it’s enough that all women are terrified of being part of the 15 women a day.
Declare GBVF a National Disaster in South Africa
The quintessential trans experience of finding a PC way to explain to your great aunt who was born in the 1930s that you met your wife on a Discord server for communists.
I just got back from a wedding where I did figure A during the wedding and did figure B the night of. My wife couldn't get me out of the "I am fundamentally and irreducably corrupt and will never deserve anything this beautiful" spiral.
Don't worry. Everything turned out fine. I had a blast at the wedding itself. Both my mother and I have leg injuries and chronic pain, so there's a bunch of pictures of us doing that seated torso-up dance thing. Estrogen has made me a lot more like my mom, physically, emotionally, and behaviorally, so I got 3 days of that "I transitioned and turned into my mom" drug injected directly into my jugular, it was great (with the exception of the night itself).
0% knowledge: "anal's supposed to hurt"
100% knowledge: "anal's not supposed to hurt if you're doing it right - use tons of lube & go slow"
10,000% knowledge: "anal's supposed to hurt if that's the way she feels like hurting me this time"
–1,000,000% knowledge: this
Agreed
My spouse is huge down there and my entire body clenched up just reading this.
1. Yes. The anus does lube itself.
2. No, it is not the same type or have the same properties as vaginal lubricants or other lubricants used for sex, and even if it was
3. No, it is not in the correct anatomical position to be of any help for the first like 4 inches or the penis. That's *most* of the penis, with only the largest ones able to penetrate deep enough to get any effect. That's still 4 inches of rocky road with full friction. No thank you.
God I love crawling into bed with her. I love the way she groggily mumbles "oh fuck yes" when I cuddle up to her. I doubt she will remember saying it, but that just makes her cuter.
All things change, but please let this go on a little longer.

Monday Night Fantasy : Arpeggio
Scheherazade Barker was born to a wealthy family that owns and operates a series of farms in the Cieldalaes island chain. From a young age, she had a knack for white magic, displaying an affinity for wind and water with a special affinity for the healing arts. When she was 5 years old, she walked in on her parents trying to save the life of her favorite aurochs, who was bleeding out during the birthing process. In a fit of emotion, she awakened to her affinity for water and wind magic and used it to staunch the flow of blood and maintain oxygen levels across the body of the aurochs, turning an almost certain death by exsanguination into a long but smooth recovery for her favorite animal.
Wanting to broaden her horizons and provide better services as the farm healer, she put away her shepherd's crook and secured passage to the Arcanist college in Limsa Lominsa. During her studies and field research, she discovered she was a Warrior of Light, a mythical hero that can adopt the abilities of different jobs based on the soul stones she collects. Suddenly, Scheherazade had her horizons explode before her. She tried the life of a samurai, but she was never of a martial bent. Then, she tried the life of a Black Mage, but never had any talent for destruction. She tried being a Monk, and while her introspective nature and prodigious strength from her farmhand upbringing did shine through in Monk aptitude, she her one and only passion was and forever would be the healing arts, so she continued her studies.
During the Norvrandt Crisis, her talents with light and healing reached their peak as she absorbed the power of the Lightwardens. Old scars healed, she felt refreshed, renewed… restless. She lost control of her light powers and was nearly consumed by them. This was a wakeup call for her. She always relied on her light affinity in her healing arts and it almost killed her in an explosion of radiant energy. Without the ability to rely on her affinity for healing magic, she found herself relying on Alphinaud for tasks that he usually asked of her, and that stung. Her calling, however, would not be silenced, whether her light powers returned to normal or not. With that determination, Alphinaud and Allisae recommended their Alma Mater, the Studium of Old Sharlayan.
When she returned to the Source, she transferred her Arcanist College credits to the Studium of Old Sharlayan, but her studies didn't last long. Unfortunately, her exploits in the First did little to delay the end of Eithyris, and the Final Days began when the Garleans invented technology allowing them to artificially temper people en masse. Determined not to feel as powerless as she did during the Norvrandt Crisis, she traded her Scholar's tomes for the surgical array of the Sage.
In her services during the Final Days, the Scions discovered that the light infusions she received in Norvrandt were mechanically similar to tempering, and the techniques used to purge Scheherazade's light corruption could be used to free enslaved minds from tempering, but could only be executed on one patient at a time per three practitioners, and that is what Scheherazade did during and between the events of Endwalker. One person she rescued was a Rogadyn Gunbreaker named Eris Jade. Scheherazade felt a special kinship to Eris, and when she retired from adventuring, she invited Eris to return with her to the farm in the Cieldalaes, where their relationship blossomed.
But Scheherazade's training as a healer never stopped. She now knew how to mend bodies without simply pumping wind and water magic into them. Her surgical skills and knack for teaching allowed her and Eris to increase productivity on the farm. Scheherazade even pioneered a surgical technique. By sedating a livestock animal, surgically removing the cuts of meat, and using her healing affinity to restore the lost biomass, the Barker-Jade farm ushered in a new era of ethical food production. However, as a Warrior of Light, her duty of care did not begin and end with healing and agriculture.
When time came for the Turali rite of succession, each contestant was allowed to select an entourage. Wuk Lamat wanted Scheherazade. She was reluctant, but Eris saw this as an opportunity to restart her career as an adventurer with a working vacation. The Jade Protection Agency is founded, and the duo set off from the docks of Old Sharlayan for Tulliyolal.
