IYKYK, "if you know, you know" can come across elitist, hipster, cooler-than-thou and shitty. The more people get in on a joke, the better. A good joke has value from its cleverness, regardless of scarcity.

There are a few words which, as keyword searches, prompt exactly one result. TIL one of those words is "ihctacuoyllatubgnihsifemosodotpotsuoy". Unless, of course, posting this here, means that a search for that word finds this also as a result; but I think that Google doesn't find Bluesky posts.

Kublacon Fall has given thumbs-up to my repeat of a workshop on "Queer-Friendly Gaming". This workshop will engage maybe ten to twenty people, for 80 minutes; it's not a large-scale operation; but it's the difference between zero and more-than-zero LGBTQ+ visibility in the convention program.

When Helen of Troy found herself wallowing in regrets, over hard choices and losses, she reminded herself...
...she'd always have Paris.

For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

They travelled to a less advanced nation, to share their technology skills. They learned the language, they ate the local food, and so forth. But even so, the natives were fearful, and eventually the natives turned on them, violently.

Yet another successful use of "I disagree" rather than "You're wrong":
Talking yesterday with my mother, who has dementia. I mentioned my housemate's kittens. She said she'd never had a cat. I said, mildly, that I disagreed. And then she DID remember the housecat we had from about 1978 to 1985.
