Support staff, particularly at big law firms, still remember the "good old days," that bring to mind a Mad Men hellhole, where lawyers drank to oblivion at work, and grabbed ass on the regular.

If a demon can be redeemed, there shouldn't be a mechanism to seal them off forever. In other words, the golden honmoon concept seems to reflect the black and white thinking of Celine, not the nuanced truth that Rumi stumbles to on her own.

Ok. Just re-watched the scene, and YES. Jinu is totally in her sword. No question. "Now I give it to you" and then he disappears into white light swirling around her and she's holding a sword. BUT THEN, are all the weapons souls?

Also, I question whether the golden honmoon remains the goal.

Oh fuck yeah. I hadn't picked up on that, but as soon as I read that- it clicks.* Ok. 1000x more excited about a sequel now.

*Kids and I watched just the final scene the other night. It was so satisfying to discover that Maya and Zoey's outfits go from dark to white as the 3 come together on stage.

GAH. Also, the story *I personally* want is the mom. I feel like I'm at least four properties away from getting that story. ::sob:: It's fine. I know the 6-12 yo demographic is less interested in that, and it's FOR THEM.

I am so stoked to both have a confirmed sequel, and they're doing it on a timeline that isn't rushed. You can *feel* the world building in there, and I just know in my bones that Maggie Kang has 10 volumes of sketched out material ready to be put into a script.

Can confirm! She's amazing and helped me think through some of my world building.

Mr Measured just ran in here to tell me he saw a video that said all the little girls dressed as Rumi, Mira, and Zoey on Halloween last week sealed the honmoon so things can get better now so if you need me I’ll be sobbing in a corner 😭

Does anyone have recommendations for good writing about the Black church in the U.S. during the first half of the 20th century? I'd love to have a better grasp on these dynamics.

oh I'm cooked.

Honestly I feel like these shirts need to be mass produced so I can wear one around and then only be friends with people who react to the shirt with glee

YouTube video by Eyewitness News ABC7NY FULL SPEECH: Democratic Zohran Mamdani gives victory speech after winning the NYC Mayor's Race

Watching Mamdani’s full speech now, which begins with images of laboring hands & then:
“The future is in our hands.”
youtu.be/zKrrE5rxWNk?...

"after all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. and if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power."

hooooooooooooooooly shit dude

Mamdani shows a different way is possible The New York mayor’s resounding victory is a warning to Trump and his own party’s old guard

“London and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”

This person took this when they called the race

I for one welcome the return of our horny monster romance focaccia cultist @mostlybree.kitrocha.com. Not that I'm not totally here for some snarky political posts, but I know full well why I follow the writers I do.

My only real knowledge of the boroughs is from the city we became and this… tracks.

Closing out today's thread with this because Let's. Fucking. Gooooooooooooooooooooo.

Also an annoying number of people in the comments do not understand that the reason FDR was constitutionally able to serve more than 2 terms was not that he was like a dictator, but that the 22nd amendment establishing presidential term limits was passed after FDR.

Same, girl, same.

Does anybody know of a good popular book about the Ediacaran? I was chatting with a friend recently who asked for a recommendation, and I realized I couldn't think of one offhand

I honestly think that trying to legislate what was in Platner's heart and what/when he understood is a trap. It doesn't matter to me.

It's actually okay to just go, "man I'd love to believe you've changed but I'm going to need to see proof of it in a place with lower stakes than the US Senate"

Part of teaching against AI requires better writing instruction that better reflects how composing exists in authentic contexts for actual audiences. Silverman’s & Rader’s “The World is a Text” is a fantastic resource for just that. Been a hit for my cultural criticism unit! #literacies
