This actually might be one of the most fun things I've read in a while firstthings.com/ayn-rand-rea...
Ayn Rand Really, Really Hated C.S. Lewis - First Things
Ayn Rand was no fan of C.S. Lewis. She called the famous apologist an “abysmal bastard,” a “monstrosity,” a “cheap, awful, miserable, touchy, social-meta­physical mediocrity,” a “pickpocket of concept...

I've spent most of this weekend playing Deltarune, while also reading House of Leaves and Kill Six Billion Demons for the first time.
I feel like my mind is melting

tbh my political science brain says Tolkien would be negatively polarized into supporting trans rights after Peter Thiel blew up Cambodia with a killer robot named the Isengard Hobbit Slayer 9000 because negative polarization is one of the most powerful forces in the universe.

the likely in universe cosmology ive arrived on for trans ppl in the legedarium wasnt what tolkien intended and would be reactionary but textually makes sense, i think

Reading through C.S. Lewis's letters is great because he corresponded with E.R. Eddison for years and every single one of their letters is written like this
Letter sent from C.S. Lewis to E.R. Eddison on Nov 16th 1942. The whole letter is beyond the character limit, but it's all written in comically archaic prose, beginning as follows: "Honour’d Sir, there is a sawe commonly vsed among our uplandish folk that yf a man pick up were it but a pibble stone or a straw and bestow it in his poke, lyghtlie it shall not fayle but before the yearsend it shall stande him in greter stede than the best treasure ever he ow’d. "Of the which I have right good exaumple by a foolish book (on the novello) that came late to my hands, made by som poore seely wench that seeketh a B.Litt or a D.Phil, when God knows shad a better bestowed her tyme makynge sport for some goodman in his bed and bearing children for the stablishment of this reaulme or els to be at her beads in a religyous house."

help I'm obsessed with the warring mother robins who unhappily share a nest
facebook post with a collection of photos and video of a huge clutch of robin eggs and two adult robins squished together in the same nest: "I’ve had robins on my porch every year. This year has been quite interesting! On Sunday I found two eggs in the nest and by Tuesday afternoon there were 8 eggs! I had never seen that many. So I did a little bit of research and found out that 8 eggs means they were likely laid by two different females. So I set up a camera to see what would happen. And much to my surprise there are two females caring for the eggs. They are NOT happy to be sharing the nest. But they are stubborn and neither mother is willing to leave her eggs. I read that usually the robins are so territorial that one mother will leave. During the day they kick each other out of the nest taking turns sitting on the eggs. Then at night they both have such a strong instinct to sit on the eggs all night that they BOTH sit on the nest. One bird sits on the other. They fight and peck at each other constantly! Although they seem to have come to some sort of understanding and tolerate each other much better now. Here are some pictures and videos of these very stubborn and devoted mother robins. I can tell them apart by their markings by their eyes. And I can tell they are both females by the way the mothers settle onto the eggs and cover them with their brood patch. Have you ever seen two females sit on the nest at the same time!?
