It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

in a session with my therapist, she was commenting how she can't draw a stick figure -- then recalled a time when she could envision exactly what she wanted and it came out easily on the canvas. and she had no idea how she did it.

I was like, yeah, the flow state. you know, like athletes and gamers

No social media space since the invention of the smart phone is a haven. They're labs for commerce. Go hang out in your friend's shitty apartment.

A Virtual Machine within linux that emulates windows may be better for long term use of CSP than using a wrapper like WINE.

Typically I find the issue is less about getting it to run, and more about getting tablet drivers to play nice with an emulated application (if you can get tablet drivers to function correctly in the first place)

There can be all other little idiosyncrasies about it that don't work quite right.

IS THAT LEEDS BARBAROUS I SEE!!!!
yessssssssssssss

Star Trek is Philosophy Fiction set in Space, that occasionally uses speculative science to drive the philosophy element, but its core goal is Philosophy and Sociology.

Star Wars is an epic fantasy set in space that might pepper some speculative elements for fun.

Both are good. The End.

To the strangers that have surfaced from the woodworks because I dared to mention The Two Stars

I know what Hard/Soft scifi is, and I don't care, because I think the distinction is arbitrary and I hate seeing it used as a vector to judge all space-based fiction.

Another Conway tale, though he’s a side character in this one: I had an English teacher Mr. L who was my sworn enemy. He absolutely hated me, & would find any reason to send me out of class to go sit in the hallway. Most commonly if I told a joke that garnered more laughter than his previous joke

Little Tunny 🐌🤝🧂 @littletunny.bsky.social · 8d

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

A little sketch page comm thing for @doctorgitgud.bsky.social featuring his character Armond with my girl Talon.
#anexentum #art #oc #TalonIxtakan

Image is a digital sketch page by the OP, Armaina, that features three sketch scenes of two characters. A large bug-like alien called Armond, and a smaller draconic-looking woman named Talon.

The first sketch on the left features Armond and Talon sitting on a rock in the middle of a conversation with serious and somber looks on their faces.

The second sketch on the top right features Armond and Talon sleeping together on the ground covered on a blanket. Armond is resting his head on his arm while his other hand is under Talon's head for her to rest on.

The third sketch on the bottom right features Armond and Talon after leaving a bath in the lake, Talon is wringing out her wet hair while Armond offers her a towel while he dries himself off.

yeesss agree!

Armaina @armaina.com · 8d

Personally, I think the terms 'hard' and 'soft' are really arbitrary anyway. Makes more sense to just call it what it is, speculative fiction.

Either way, I don't care for all the little spats of 'my franchise is more valid than your franchise', like it's all goofy fantasy, have fun y'all.

It's very funny to me when people get into rifts about Science fiction and the validity of it and they say things like Star Trek is hard scifi and Star Wars is soft scifi

like...

did you actually WATCH Star Trek?

Did you not notice how GOOFY it is??

Starset was kinda close but it's become too IDK... average? Like it's gotten less Space-y to me, IMO

The Anix has been the closest I've found in terms of sound, (great music, do check them out), but the lyrics are largely overtly romantic and not the esoteric I hope for.

IDK if anyone has Recs..
