Asexuality, Socialism and Wargaming. Not necessarily in that order.

The problem with audiobooks is that, when the inevitable spicy scene shows up, you're just trying to do a spreadsheet while a narrator gently whispers in your ear about dicks.

"stick to menswear"
Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

Sneaky in-under-the-wire Pride post.

I just finished reading this book, which has been in my Ace-related TBR pile for a while.

I would highly recommend this for anyone who has done the "Am I Broken?" dance throughout their lives.

I saw so much of myself in this that I am now having The Feels.

SO @robotowilliam.bsky.social posted this on my discord and frankly I'm obsessed.

If you run the department of Narrative Avoidance... Can we be friends 👉👈
Post from X - Lydia Laurenson: Vibegala theme this year was "the Hero's Journey" and I particularly loved the satirical Guerrilla posters that someone made to discourage attendees from heeding the call of Adventure. Four posters are attached: First "Your Father's Sword? Beware of scams" picture of old man handing a luke like figure from star wars a lightsaber. Second an image of the hero's journey circle with a red X on the bottom. The top has a red dot that says "Refusal of the call" with an arrow pointing to it that says Stop HERE. Third is a poster that says "Rightful king of england? If it sounds legendary it's likely a con" The Fourth days "What big adventure doesn't want you to know" an image of the hero's journey circle with a red X on the bottom. The top has a red dot that says "Refusal of the call" with an arrow pointing to it that says Stop HERE. Below the circle is a list of red X's - X "Trials", X "Challenges", X "The Unknown" X "The Abyss", X "Personal Growth" Picture of a king and a maiden. The poster that says "Rightful king of england? If it sounds legendary it's likely a con" What does she know that you dont? - Verify Pedigree.

The *smart* thing to do would have been to ignore the MASSIVE MORAL QUANDRY. Unfortunately, we were playing 7th Sea, and that is not what HEROES do.

I unfortunately won't have time to participate, but check that great initiative.

Basically the idea is to paint and donate an apothecary mini before February 25, painted any color, to raise money for initiative against childhood cancer.

Check @the_apothecarion on instagram for more infos.

Employers, a word:

When An Autistic (👋) asks WHY something is done a certain way, we are not, in fact, attempting to challenge your authority.

We Actually Want To Know Why, because we crave a full and complete understanding of the task(s) set before us so that we can do them properly.

"Questions From A Worker Who Reads" by Bertolt Brecht:
"Questions from a Worker Who Reads" by Bertolt Brecht: Who built Thebes of the seven gates? In the books you will find the name of kings. Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock? And Babylon, many times demolished. Who raised it up so many times? In what houses Of gold-glittering Lima did the builders live? Where, the evening that the Wall of China was finished Did the masons go? Great Rome Is full of triumphal arches. Who erected them? Over whom Did the Caesars triumph? Had Byzantium, much praised in song, Only palaces for its inhabitants? Even in fabled Atlantis The night the ocean engulfed it The drowning still bawled for their slaves. The young Alexander conquered India. Was he alone? Caesar beat the Gauls. Did he not have even a cook with him? Philip of Spain wept when his armada Went down. Was he the only one to weep? Frederick the Second won the Seven Years' War. Who Else won it? Every page a victory. Who cooked the feast for the victors? Every ten years a great man. Who paid the bill? So many reports. So many questions
