What I take away from this is that as the number of sides of the dealy-bob/MacGuffin/what have you increases, the genre will asymptotically approach fantasy.

The Fantasy Romans book, at last
So excited to reveal the cover to my new book today, The Wisdom of Emperors! You can check it out on Kickstarter, along with the full summary!
Inspired by the story of the Ancient Roman emperor Hadrian and his lover Antinous, The Wisdom of Emperors is a second-world adult fantasy novel written in the style of a fictional academic text. It documents the translation and study of a world-changing artifact discovered in an archaeological dig: a manuscript which provides the clues to finally unravel the mysteries surrounding one of the most famous emperors of the ancient world.
The Kickstarter campaign is for the deluxe collector's edition, but you'll be able to preorder the standard hardback/paperback, PLUS the early-access ebook, available to backers well before general publication to everyone else. And there's going to be some really, REALLY cool merch as well (genuine papyrus bookmarks, designed and blockprinted by my own hands!)
Anyway, the Kickstarter goes live on May 5th at 4:00pm EST, so if you are the sort of person who reads news articles about major new archaeological discoveries and gets SUPER MAD that they don't tell you absolutely everything about why it's important and what it changes about what we thought we knew..... this one's for you, babe. ;)
Also I was told by a publishing industry insider that this book probably wouldn't sell because publishers are explicitly saying that they don't want "challenging" books, they want books that (and i QUOTE) "aren't necessarily making readers think"
So if that pisses you the FUCK off, sauce me a signal boost.
"What's this trace on the PCB? It doesn't seem to connect to anything, and it's awfully complex."
"That? That's the bass dimensionality expander sigil. Important for the sound profile."
"... sigil? You mean, this is MAGIC?"
"Well, yeah. You didn't think we got this bass response from these earbuds with PHYSICS, did you?"
"Wait, it's not just clever engineering? Does EVERYONE do it this way?"
"No, no, it's engineering, just thaumaturgic. And yeah, everyone worth a damn does."
"Even Apple?"
"Oh yeah, their acoustic thaumaturgics team is the BEST. They pioneered it."
#Please little bird
I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.
"I asked chat gpt–"
Well I asked HEX and the response was "+++?????+++ +++Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start.+++". Worth considering.
Edit because this is picking up steam: TERFs fuck off :)

I noticed there isn’t one here for Ireland, so
Irish free suicide helpline: 01-116 123
last time i reblogged this, i got this ask:
so please, please reblog. this could actually save a life.
This is something maybe more of interest to @ladyhistory: the USS Alabama memorial (we live in Mobile and I’m a member, so we go often!) has a small-but-interesting collection of WWI items tucked away in the back of the aircraft pavilion, but for my money it’s the human factor that’s far and away the most interesting. I’m of the first generation of my family to have NOT been born in Alabama but it’s where my roots are, and I’m oddly proud of the reputation Alabama boys developed. Given the history of the state and even of my own family, I wrestle a lot with the negative aspects for sure, but damned if I’m not more than a bit pleased with Gen. Plummer’s opinion.
!!!PLEASE READ!!!
Today, July 5th was supposed to mark the end of Pride Week in Georgia with a Pride March in the capital Tbilisi.
Homophobic Pro Putin forces and religious groups have been making treats for an entire week that they wouldn't allow it. Today morning these hate groups stormed the offices of Tbilisi Pride and Shame movement, they also physically assaulted journalists and peaceful people. The government and police won't do anything about it. Tbilisi Pride had to cancel today's march to avoid further escalation and violence.
If you can, please consider donating to Tbilisi Pride and The Shame Movement and please reblog to spread the word!
these are the positivity odinsons. reblog to tell your mutuals that you are proud of them and they’re doing a great job ♥👍🏼
Representation can be hard to find in motorsport, and this is going prime time.
was surprised to see most motorsport outlets didn’t cover this as a news story but I guess most motorsport outlets don’t have a handy LGBT F1 writer or whatever
If you were wondering how “legitimate” motorsport places would view Tumblr stuff; I just messaged one of my friends who’s a professional content creator, cus I found a bit of fanart of something they helped create on here and thought they’d be happy to see it. It was off the record, we’re mates, it was in a casual ‘hey look someone loves your stuff’ context.
They are, really, really happy - and incredibly excited. They had no idea that there was a fandom for what they create or that people tuned into it, they didn’t know people loved what they work on enough to make gifs of it and celebrate it and they had no idea people made edits or appreciated the content they make.
It’s made their day, so never be embarrassed about what you make on here. Celebrating someone’s work and showing you’re a fan means the absolute world to people.
