@outerpanda.bsky.social @rustedrevolver.bsky.social Someone on fb pointed out that the word ‘enigmas’ is an anagram for the French word ‘gamines.’ @virginie.bsky.social Can you confirm the meaning of ‘gamine’?

George RR Martin has given me hundreds of hours of entertainment. There have been times in my life where obsessing about his worlds prevented me from obsessing and spiraling about my own.
He owes us nothing.
If he doesn’t write another word, I owe him a profound debt.

Poor George RR Martin is dealing with guys at conventions standing up and going “so uhhhhh u gonna finish that book before u croak?” when we could be thanking him for this metaphor! We could be saying thank you to Poor George!

Care for us? True indeed! They ne’er car’d for us yet. Suffer us to famish, and their store-houses cramm’d with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act establish’d against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor.
