OFMD, Gentlebeard, season 3. Early 40s, she/her. Minors stay away (sometimes I recommend fanfic). I may block follows from non-pirate fans—nothing personal.🪿🐈‍⬛🕯️🏴‍☠️📚🦄🌈

Stede picks a "not too scary" Halloween movie to watch with the crew, unfortunately it's Return to Oz and now Fang is crying, the Swede hasn't slept in 92 hours and Frenchie has created a series of Home Alone style traps, with 500% more daggers, to protect against the Wheelers

‘Cornucopia’ comes from ‘cornu copiae,’ which translates literally as “horn of plenty.”

And we all remember the “Fruit of the Loom” logo having a horn of plenty, right?

Right??

I have a new novelette out today! It's about disabled people caring for one another--even when one of them is a phantom.

It's free to read at @reactorsff.bsky.social.

John Wiswell @wiswell.bsky.social · 2d

New story day!

"Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.

Phantom View - Reactor

A disabled son care-taking for a disabled father try to understand the mysterious blur haunting them.

Hard to believe it’s still so bad at public figure ages. I wish the explanation had to do with AI agreeing with the skeleton in The Last Unicorn about the reality of time. But it’s probably something less fun about math not meshing well with word embeddings. Anyway here’s a similar error from March

Screen capture of an AI summary for Billy Bob Thornton’s age in 2000 saying he was both 41 and 45 in that year:

“Billy Bob Thornton › Age (March 7, 2025 at 8:00 PM PST)
69 years
Date of birth
August 4, 1955
Place of birth
Hot Springs, AR

Al Overview
Billy Bob Thornton was 41 years old in 2000.
• He was born on August 4, 1955.
• Therefore, in the year 2000, he would have turned 45 years old.
• However, the question asks for his age in 2000, which would be 41.”

Ed and Stede near the end of episode 2x8 of OFMD in front of their inn. Ed looks pained but at peace. Stede looks mildly annoyed at Zheng’s interruption. Stede wears his teal silk deep v shirt. Ed is in his one-armed black leather jacket. Stede caresses Ed’s bare elbow. Ed’s hand is on Stede’s left shoulder

Sounds almost like ageism? Which is illegal in hiring I’m pretty sure. I mean that’s a very specific and nonsensical requirement that seems designed to rule out anyone who’s not at least approaching middle age
