Patrica McKillip - Riddlemaster Trilogy. It uses naming in its magic system, much like Earthsea. It also seems a bit of a forgotten classic these days, which is a real shame.

There is a zen like patience required for any roux. The evolution of color is one of my favorite things. Blond to umber to mahogany to deep brown to black, every step is its own journey. It is also one of my favorite ways to deep season cast iron.

To give you a sense of how bad the GOPs current polls must be. Indiana is already heavily gerrymandered and there are two Democrats out of 9 seats.

Hear me out...
Gary Oldman as Lemmy in a Biopic, but it's really a SF/Time Travel Action Thriller the way Lemmy would have wanted it.

I'm fairly sure simply being Tom Waits is a full-time job.

is "it's a bullshit whiplash claim... deny. " Just look at the pictures and read my neurologist's evaluation, for god's sake. Lost a house and suffered food insecurity for years. That was in the "good times", it will only get worse

It took me almost 5 years to overcome the systematic hurdles to get disability for a spinal cord injury incurred from a congenital defect. It was in my neck, and the knee-jerk institutional response to neck problems. 1/2

I was just thinking earlier today that no one seems to be talking about the great Grindr blackout caused by the RNC in '24.

I'm worried it would take the groundswell of outrage around Nana's check not coming to change the reflexive responses we are seeing right now.

He obviously thought the cybertruck looked appealing as well.

An everyseed bagel and an everything bagel are not the same. Please get your naming conventions together. I don't have the bandwidth for these kind of petty annoyances right now.

Gov. Abbott orders TEA probe of Houston school for calling a student by chosen name and pronouns The governor also called on lawmakers to prohibit the practice at all schools.

This is the uncompassionate, closeminded, bigoted hill these simplistic knobs want to die on. I will storm that hill. I will burn their fort to the ground. I will sow their fields with salt and exult in their tears. Parents don't own children. I respect the people in my life and their decisions.

So looking forward to this! I've read The Tainted Cup a foolish number of times since it was released. Robert J. Bennet's books have become one of my literary comfort foods.

Image of Dr. Mae Jemison, actual astronaut and Star Trek guest star

As a Star Trek fan and a scientist, I love this image, because Dr. Jemison is both a hero *AND* one of the few people for whom we can say "here she is doing her space job" in two totally different contexts. 🧪

Just a reminder, when you call congress people they ask for your zip code. Precinct maps are public. With a little cross referencing you can make your voice heard in a very different way. Remember the phrase, "I didn't vote for this."

More than worrying.

A man jumping, under the words "Make Time For Joy"

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
