"No rapping tonight."
Why?
"You rap about Karl Marx everytime, it's embarrassing."

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

You know what to do: www.stopkosa.com

Article excerpt with text that reads The third and final way lawmakers are advancing anti-LGBTQ+ censorship is by reintroducing KOSA, the fake online safety bill, that would establish a “duty of care” for apps and websites used by young people, requiring them to use censorship to “prevent and mitigate” harms like anxiety and depression. KOSA takes the same logic of the bans on drag shows and LGBTQ+ books and applies it to the internet, allowing censorship of a broad range of information in the name of protecting kids from real online harm.

Most histories of hoodies go with 12th century monks as the originator, but I like to show my students this one from 5th-7th century Egypt.

Like, that is such an obvious thing, such an obvious annoyance, and the fact that it just never went away can only be explained by blizzard either simply never listening to players ever, or else them deliberately going "lol fuck u"

It is baffling to me that they never fixed that. That annoyed me every damn time that quest was up.

Dante has a specific section of Hell for people who commit crimes on behalf of a monarch (the pope) knowing the monarch has promised in advance to pardon them.

"American law exists to create a condition of constant titillation for people whose material needs are never unmet, but whose appetites have been teased into a state of ungovernable sadism by sloganeering and advertising that promises a return to a world that never existed and never will."

American law, it seems to me, exists to create a condition of constant titillation for people whose material needs are never unmet, but whose appetites have been teased into a state of ungovernable sadism by sloganeering and advertising that promises a return to a world that never existed and never will. For you it is merely your life; for them it is content, something to send giggling to their friends in the group chat or watch with satisfaction on the news in between car commercials. Let that show the stuck-up girl at the office, the barista who rolled her eyes at you, the ranting homeless man who lives under the overpass. Providing this sort of satisfaction is now the aim of our entire federal government. They offer signing bonuses and lowered standards to whatever pathetic slob will make a foreigner cry for the camera. Just one more freeloader exiled from the Kingdom of Heaven. If they keep this up, soon there will be nobody left here but the true citizens, and surely then it will all be made Great Again.

"You're done! You can let go!"

That's the thing: I can't

I do not remember the last time a single player, linear, narrative game pulled me in this hard, where I've finished "everything" and still feel compelled to fire it up and play more.

I collect inspirational footnotes and share them from time to time:

Here's the OCR transcription of the text in the image:

---

*The Making of Victorian England* (London, 1962), 14. In fact I tried to count and failed. Some time ago I spent the better part of two years coding the evaluative language used in thousands of historians' book reviews, punching IBM cards, and attempting to correlate the language employed with dozens of other variables having to do with historians' generation, field, status, etc. It was a total waste of time, producing nothing intelligible and permanently dampening my enthusiasm for introducing quantitative rigor into intellectual history.

Things are quiet for now but I got feeling it won't be long before we start seeing another wave a mass censorship and restrictions, not only on nsfw content but art and media overall.

Keep calling. Keep writing. Keep awareness up! Let's do what we can to protect our right to create freely!

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

If I had one piece of advice to people starting writing, or smut writing in particular, it's this:

Be as kind to yourself as you would be if a close friend worked up the nerve to show you their work. You can be fair. You can be honest. But never, ever be cruel to your own work. It's poisonous.

Castiglione observed that every generation says its youthful days were best and complains that the new era and young people suck, and he was already mocking it in (checks notes) 1520.

troyliss @troyliss.bsky.social · 1d

Wasn’t there actual research showing that, for every generation, the decade they choose as “things were better then” always happens to coincide with when they were twelve years old?
