i know why kids today cant read, and it's a simple barrier to entry problem:

when i was younger, words were printed clearly so anyone could see them.
now that i'm old they print all the words blurry on purpose so you need special glasses to see them.

A bit of early worldbuilding on magical libraries:

Stanley, the Seventh Clerk, woke to the sound of the pen in his left hand scratching a note into the ledger left open on the nightstand. He’d found that it was possible to sleep uninterrupted if the book was in reach. For the first few nights after becoming a Clerk, he hadn’t slept. This was the norm. Every time a spell was cast, anywhere on Earth (which is to say, spells cast anywhere else were outside their jurisdiction), it was indexed by one of the Clerks in a ledger of materials that were not archival in the traditional sense but enchanted to be indestructible by conventional means including manual wear and the passage of time. The index itself contained only the name of the caster, the object or person upon which the spell was cast, and a series of letters and numbers that referred to the location of further information in another, more elaborate book kept in the library at the north end of Hornbeam Grove. Curiously, there was no Clerk to write in that book, in fact the system had been digitized and it was automatically entered into an enchanted computer file by means of an overly complex system involving a graphics...

An early piece of worldbuilding from the novel I've been working on, which might not wind up going in, since I haven't given the main characters much reason to interact with the library...

But I still like Stanley.

If you are running a project to donate food or resources to people on SNAP or otherwise food insecure, you should be including resources for how to ACCESS the food that is donated to you on the same web site that you accept donations on.

A full chapter from an early draft of an unfinished queer contemporary fantasy novel about an Appalachian witch commune I began writing about two years ago, titled "What Should We Do About the Boy."

www.patreon.com/posts/max-pr...
Max Praxis slipped off their cowboy boots just inside the door of a house that seemed cobbled together out of other houses: with a circular wooden door beneath a section of grassy hill, a replica of the hobbit houses in the film version of Lord of the Rings, and behind that a relatively massive modern glass and concrete beach house. Behind it lay a miniature beach whose ocean ended abruptly at a plain cedar fence demarcating the property line. The beach house was studded with balconies representing other styles of architecture.

Biscuits & Paper Mulberry 8h I first learned about paper mulberry maybe a decade ago when I saw what I thought was a cedar-apple rust gall (a fungal growth) in a classmate's tree at a backyard firepit hangout and someone informed me it was, in fact, an edible fruit: slimy, sweet, fragile, and reminiscent of strawberries. I wasn't sure for years whether this tree was the same one used to actually make mulberry paper, or if they just coincidentally shared a name. If you know anything about plant naming conventions, you know that you know nothing. Cedar-apple rust gall (Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae) vs Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) image by Zeynel Cebeci I've still never been to a Renaissance Faire, but this weekend, for the second time, I attended a gay sex party that was Renaissance fair-themed. They hosted a few rounds of a tabletop roleplaying game (sign-ups for this went too fast for me to get into!) and a few performances of medieval-style pop music sung by the local bard. The piss tub had been transformed into a verdant glen replete with faux ferns and flowers. The DJ played bardcore covers of recent hits, such as Pink Pony Inn. The last time I went to an iteration of this party, the host had given out elf ears -- I had declined, not realizing they were handmade by a local artisan. It's easy to overlook the level of care and attention put into every detail of this party and space when you're stressing out over inadequacies -- am I attractive enough, charismatic enough, can my body do this or that -- and forget how much work has been put into making us feel welcome. I took a sample. It seemed very dry and I wondered how long ago it had fallen. I pan-roasted the single hazelnut alone in a cast iron pan, then realized I'd created a godawful amount of smoke in my friend's apartment in doing so, and he'd be home any minute, and started throwing open the doors and windows. of butterflies in 1705; until this point, spontaneous generation, the idea that complex organisms arose directly from non-living matter such as mud or rotten meat, was the common explanation for the phenomenon of metamorphosis in Europe. I learned some of the technical aspects as well: what parts of a plant or animal to draw, from what angles, how to measure them and so on, as well as some notes on how to identify species and make species clearly identifiable.

I've helped moderate online communities. We allowed users whose behavior harmed the community to run rampant because they technically hadn't violated the rules we created, because we felt guilty about banning them. They ran off countless other valuable users. That was our fault. We did that.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

NYC is a trillion-dollar economy that sends far more to Washington in taxes than we ever get back (unlike most red states living off our subsidy).

If Trump cuts our federal funding, will he also stop collecting our taxes?
washingtonpost.com The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · Sep 30
President Trump threatened to cut off federal funding to New York City if front-runner Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor.

Mamdani needs the money “to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises,” Trump wrote of the democratic socialist.
After Adams exit, Mamdani looks to solidify lead in NYC as Trump meddles
The front-runner faces a field of opponents led by former New York governor Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat who is running as an independent and hoping to pull off an upset.
