He definitely did, but since the whole book is supposed to be a translation of something he found and not something he personally wrote, they’re switched for the audience’s convenience. There’s a lot more to it, but here’s a chart of Shire months from the appendices at the end of RoTK. Elves and men are different, but there was no handy chart.

IT INVENTED ALL OF THESE. THERE IS NO HUNGER GAMES COMIC ADAPTATION. THERE IS NO GREAT-GREAT-GRANDSON OF SHAKESPEARE CALLED THOMAS STANLEY. AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO IS AN ONLY CHILD!!!!!

If anyones interested in learning about the first black vampire short story, published in 1819, heres a link to the wiki, its called The Black Vampyre, and its about a former slave turned vampire who seeks revenge on his slave master. Its actually a first in many categories!

structureoflove

you can read the story itself here

ineachretelling

Not only is it the first Black vampire story, it's the first comedic vampire story, the first story to include a mixed race vampire, the first vampire story by an American author, and probably the first anti-slavery short story. Some scholars believe that the text was written in response to John William Polidori's The Vampyre.

Here is the actual pdf from the site since you have to click around from the above link to actually get to it

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

It's Completely Normal to know the date of the apocalypse of the internet.

Which is really funny to say right now, because the Eternal September actually ended last month. Google removed the ability to post to usenet from Google Groups on February 22nd.

Alright so here's the lowdown, TCM is currently in a stage where it needs wishlists and I thought it might be more enticing AND productive to do a donation drive.

For all new wishlists starting today, March 1, I will donate 1$ to Doctors Without Borders.

The starting number is 650 wishlists, so if we get 50 new wishlists, that means I'm donating 50$, etc.

I have to put a limit on what I can match for obvious reasons. That limit will be 500$

This will go on until i hit my cap or May 20, whichever comes first.

I will be making 1 lump donation at the end of this rather than several small ones. I'll post receipts at that time.

Why Doctors Without Borders

There are lots of amazing charities and regular people running humanitarian aid to Palestine and specifically Gaza. I chose Doctors Without Borders because not only are they on the ground in Gaza, but also in other areas of the world that are getting less coverage- like Sudan. They are a reputable nonprofit and have a stalwart reputation for their willingness to help those affected by humanitarian crises. You can learn more about them and what they do here.

Wishlisting

Visit TCM's steam page and simply click on Wishlist. That's it. It helps the game get more visibility and in turn that will help its success during launch. Unfortunately, TCM isn't available in all countries due to its content, sorry! Reblogs much appreciated! Thank you all!

I'm at about 75$ right now and there's still lots of time to get on this- tell your friendslist too!

Chapter 7 + Ash Hangout Public Update is now live! 🎉

The Chapter 7 and Ash Hangout update is finally here 🔥😁 I'm sorry for the slight delay, I had something urgent to attend to today and I just got home and I just basically went straight to my computer to upload this update.

Finally, we are starting to get into the ROs' first hangout sessions. Of course, to start us off, we'll have Ash's hangout session 😁This update adds around 31K of new words, bringing the total word count so far to around 356,701K words!

Anyway, this update also brings quite a lot of changes in the coding, especially for the skip chapter function, so I'm going to strongly suggest you guys play with clean save, either from the beginning or using the skip chapter function.

I have recently added another skip-chapter checkpoint, which is Chapter 3 in addition to the already existing one on Chapter 6. There is also now an autosave function at the beginning of every chapter starting on Chapter 2, so you'll be able to replay any chapter you're currently reading and try out different options in that chapter.

Anyway, enough of the technicalities.

Here's what you can expect in this update:

The set up to the ROs' first hangout sessions

Ash's first hangout session

Go down the memory lane and see snippets of MC's most cherished memories.

Some more Viktor 😔

A mix of angst, wholesome, and even potential fluff 🤭

🔥🧡😉

Ash/Rin poly route is not yet ready for this hangout and it's still work-in-progress 🙏

New stuff added to previous chapters:

Added autosave/reload function for Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, and Chapter 5.

Added another skip-chapter point to Chapter 3, in addition to the already existing Chapter 6.

Also, little news that I'm going to make a post of tomorrow, I'm about to open both the Side Story and Spicy Side Story ideas and suggestions for this month on both Patreon and Ko-Fi, so if you're interested in supporting me while also getting some exclusive stuff, please do consider checking out my pages and subscribing 💖

I hope you guys enjoy the update! Oh, and also, feel free to send asks about the new update, but I'll probably hold off on answering them until a few days have passed to make sure a lot of readers already have the chance to check out the update and not accidentally spoil them 😊

The old, good internet deserves a new, good internet

I miss the old, good internet, but I don’t want to bring it back.

I want a new, good internet. One where users can’t be locked in because we make it legal to:

• reverse-engineer products and services, so you can leave a social media platform but still send and receive messages from the people you leave behind;

• jailbreak your devices so you can remove antifeatures like surveillance, ink-locking or repair-blocking; • move your media and files out of the silo whence they originated and into any player you want.

I want a new, good internet where we constrain the conduct of tech companies, banning unfair labor practices, deceptive marketing, corporate hostage-taking and other forms of rent-extraction.

I want a new, good internet where it’s both illegal to impose bossware on your employees, and where those employees can legally hack the bossware their bosses shove down their throats.

I want a new, good internet where creative workers and their audiences can reliably connect with one another, where news reporting isn’t held hostage to extractive processes.

I want a new, good internet where we seize the means of computation so that the digital infrastructure that connects our romantic, personal, political, civic, economic, educational and family and social lives is operated by and for the people who use it.
