Even if I weren't an mtg person, I would pre-order. I trust your books and your writing a lot so I just order whatever you publish bc the chances a so high that I love it. (just waiting for it to arrive in the listing of my usually pre order shop)

My partner and me where just speculating about the age of the Paladins. He's listening to book four right now. So how old are they?
We figured
Stephen late 30-40?
Istvan 40+?
Galen early 30?
Shane 36 (just said it)
Wren 26?
Marcus mid 30?
Judith mid 30?
Giw far are we off?

„Klassisch konservative Parteien übernehmen Sprache, Rhetorik und ideologische Elemente der extremen Rechten. Jeder Anspruch auf Konsens und Staatsräson wird über Bord geworfen und gegen eine Lust an Polarisierung eingetauscht. Auch in Deutschland begehen Teile der Unions-Parteien genau diesen Weg. Die Folgen für die Demokratie sind fatal." - Natascha Strobl über radikalisierten Konservatismus philomag.de

Ich komme mit der Winterzeit besser klar als mit der Sommerzeit. Die haut mich jedesmal raus. Winterzeit nicht.

The modern phenomenon of fan fiction as an expression of fandom and fan interaction was popularized and defined by the Star Trek fandom and its fanzines, which were published I. The 1960s. The first Star Trek fanzine, Spockanalia (1967), contained some fan fiction; many others followed its example. These fanzines were produced using offset printing and mimeography and mailed to other fans or sold at science fiction conventions for a small fee to cover the cost of production. Unlike other aspects of fandom, women were the primary authors of fan fiction; 83% of Star Trek fan fiction were female by 1970, and 90% by 1973. One scholar states that fan fiction “fills the need of a mostly female audience for fictional narratives that expand the boundary of the official source products offered on the television and movie screen.”

Female Star Trek fans basically invented the modern idea of fan fiction. Star Trek has always had a large female fanbase and saying that it hasn’t is incredibly ahistorical.

Women in the sixties literally invented slashfic, about Kirk/Spock.

I think Diane Duane might also like a word.

"After a failed pilot, Lucille Ball not only advocated for a second pilot but circumvented the board of her production company, putting up her own money to ensure that the show had another chance."

That's a bs article

Stuff like that text makes me so angry bc it blatantly ignores fandom history and tries to bury out fandom foremothers whom we wouldn't have any fandom culture without. Without star trek nothing would be there.

So I'm pretty sure that we feel a tos, public speakers of whom we expect authentic emotions are the ones expressing the micro expressions of the corresponding emotion. 4/4

I've had training in the, bc one of my special interests is body language and stuff like that.
After the class I had a success rate of identifying them correctly of 98%.
soon after that I realised watching a movie/TV series; 5he best actors are those who have the micro expressions when acting. 3/x

And humans usually react to them and if you are trained you actually can see them.
(they are so fast it's super hard to see them, they last a fraction of a second).
They were first found by a scientist called Paul Ekman, he also consulted on the Pixar movies. It's in the bts. 2/x

Funfact (you probably know this): humans have facial micro expressions that are the same everywhere in the world, there are (if I remember correctly) 6 of them: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise. (the emotions in inside-out
Pixar movie are based on this). 1/x

Ich kotze. „Fragen Sie mal Ihre Töchter“, entgegnet Merz einen Journalisten, der nachfragt, ob eine Entschuldigung angemessen wäre.

Zur Erinnerung: Junge Frauen haben die CDU kaum gewählt. Die Merz-Regierung macht keinerlei Gleichstellungspolitik.

Aber Frauen für Rassismus instrumentalisieren.

there have always been people who like to write, and people who like to say they have written, and the latter really love the idea of AI and the former can not understand why you'd let a computer do the fun part.

What is Kellis-Amberlee and what does it has to do with this?

Working women also wore stays and corsets, they were made to me comfortable and being able to work in them

I did it long enough that I started doing it while dreaming. Then started recognising when I was dreaming. It was all a question of persistence and patience 2/2

I trained dream recall. When that was firm, I started with reality checks (literally asking yourself: are you dreaming right now? And answering it. Multiple times a day). 1/2

Oh it's so much fun. I learned it to get rid of reoccurring nightmares.

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.
