It's spring now which means the kids in my city have started drawing hopscotches on the sidewalk and as a rule I do every hopscotch I see because 1. Use it or lose it (ability to scotch) and 2. If a child got down on the hardscrabble streets of Boston Massachusetts to draw a scotch the least I can do is use it, but in doing the hopscotches, I've learned that about 50% of them are the typical 8-10 step scotch and the other 50% are. Somewhat avant-garde. And of course I'm not vetting the entire scotch before I start it so sometimes it's like haha 8 steps woo! Childlike whimsy! And sometimes they're 20 steps or 30 or they've got a section with three squares instead of two where you have to do a little Charleston to step on all three, or, memorably, FORTY one foot squares. A full BLOCK of jumping on one foot but I'm no quitter so once I've started Jigsaw Junior's fuckin hopscotch gauntlet I'm there til the end just a daily pot smoker in her thirties jumping kasa-obake style through an affluent suburb while some little proto-kennedy watches from his bedroom window rubbing his sadistic little third grade hands together and cackling. It's amazing. I love spring.

Okay, if you are tired then you won't be able to read. There I say it. No one else want to say it. It is strange. If you are tired, if you cannot finish a book that's a given. That's why you need to read...at work. You need to steal your reading time from your employers.

in the tradition of outcast (2014), dragon blade (2015), and the great wall (2016), we need a movie set in the 1630s where a disillusioned member of the embroidered uniform guard and a profit-driven jianghu mercenary flee the corrupt and crumbling ming dynasty and somehow end up in the equally corrupt city of cologne, where they become key players in the fight against the sinister forces of cardinal richelieu and eventually secure the peace of westphalia and the end of the thirty years’ war. this is a million dollar idea i’m telling you

[romanceyourdemons]

i really do love this concept. the protagonist is like i’m sick of dealing with wei zhongxian’s shit, i’m gonna go someplace where people are holy and don’t even know how to act like this (the impression of europe he got from the jesuit missionary he had a tactical lunch with once), and so he travels 5000 miles and as soon as he stops to catch his breath he runs into cardinal fucking richelieu, the european wei zhongxian

problem i have is whenever i read write say or hear "sugar baby" my brain is like oh yeah, i know what that is! pretty sure we can reliably derive meaning for this term based on other definitions that precede it in our internal lexicon, like "sugar glider" and "bush baby". we are definitely talking about some kind of small arboreal marsupial with large eyes. it's probably not ethical for this wealthy patron to be keeping one as a pet

have u seen baby yoda yet?

I have and it was designed by cowards. I feel only contempt for it. What i hate most about the baby Yoda, I will be honest here, is the lack of originality. Yoda is supposed to look like he does because he is unfathomably old. He is, like, 600 or something and iirc this is supposed tp be a fairly big deal even for his species. And yet here is baby yoda looking eaxctly the same as regular flavor Yoda minus like 3 wrinkles and a liver spot and plus shiny baby eyes??? Its like if someone tried to reverse engineer Stan Lee's species as a baby using only a pic of him at 95 and just made a small elderly Stan Lee with 1 less wrinkle. I loathe it. What it is is a transparent attempt to grab at both lazy recognizability of Yoda as a marketable character, and also + slapping on some generic 'cute' markers again very transparently for marketability. There is no thought to what makes a good design or to worldbuilding or character or to HOW AGING WORKS UPON ANIMALS. HERE IS THE BALD FACED TRUTH: BABY YODA SHOULD LOOK LIKE A MY LITTLE PONY SPINOFF ABOUT A GREEN PUG DOG WITH LUSCIOUS FLOWING LOCKS OF HAIR. YODAS SPECIES SHOULD LOOK LIKE THEY WERE DESIGNED IN A POOR ATTEMPT TO ELBOW IN ON THE LITTLEST PET SHOP MARKET WITH A "LITTLEST ALIEN DUDES" LINE IN 1998. They should look like they each come with a special personalized plastic comb. Why no one ever consults me on matters like this I will never fucking understand

[creekfiend]

"Oh boo hoo hoo we dont want one of our most recognizable alien characters to be from a species of little girls brushable hair plastic pet toys" too fucking bad whoever made that fucking puppet made this bed and we should all have to lie in it! Yoda is an aged Brightly Colored Eyelash Goblin this is SIMPLY the reality of the situation as it exists

easy to miss that one of the reasons maternal mortality is diminished so extremely by modern medicine is that modern medicine makes it so much more possible to identify the pregnancies that will die and take you with them, or are otherwise unacceptably high risk. and then discontinue those ones safely, before it's too late.

thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.

except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.

like yeah one reason for that is we vaccinate everybody ffs.

the set of ships is nonempty and finite

(any reasonable notion of) size induces a total order on the set of equivalence classes of ships of the same size

every nonempty finite total order has a maximum

there exists a ship that is no smaller than any other ship

so i'm uh. about 80% sure that my landlord is a close relative of my roommate A. (who's lived in this building for several years, maybe the entire time she's been in MA)? i wasn't actually ever told overtly, but they have the same (reasonably common) last name and the mail we get addressed to him indicates he lives in the town she grew up in (but it's a pretty big city! so i didn't actually think that meant much!)

and then when i asked her about whether she thought i needed to reach out about lease renewal last month, she replied with an extensive description of how her family is distracted from dealing with her grandmother's health issues and then a week and a half later i got a renewal offer

which is all, like, fine, except that i just got an email like "hi [name], i'm trying to keep the rent down but do you think you could handle another $100 a month" and my plan is obviously to negotiate but i'm not sure what the social rules are for negotiating rent with someone who is maybe your good friend's dad???

also because she has a lot of information about my life planning and finances that i WOULD NOT give my landlord and i have no idea if, if i try to negotiate, she'll just be like "glass is having a crazy wedding they're good for it", she's generally a good person but i have no idea what this dynamic is like because we NEVER DISCUSSED IT, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
