I'm six chapters into this and loving it. Stevenson understands the intrinsic link between ghost story structure and pirate story presentation in a way that most other writers don't comprehend, or are too heavy-handed with. Plus it's just good solid fun.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???

Me, three times last week: "I really should watch some SpongeBob SquarePants... See this cultural touchstone that I missed out on."
Me, seeing it on TV right now while visiting parents and literally nobody else is around to watch something: "Am I *sure* there's nothing else on? *Anything*?"

So the "fun and games" of Back to the Future is "eighties teenager uses modern skillset and limited history knowledge to be a hero in the fifties". While the scene is problematic, this is also why the Johnny B Goode scene is kind of important to the story flow.

Did not miss my train! Now I get to see what Millennium Station looks like when they decorate for the holidays.
... Mostly the same honestly, which is probably for the best, but I did like the Christmas lights right as I got off the train and entered the station

I've gotta wake up to get ready to catch a train in five hours and I'm nervous I'll overall oversleep which might be making it hard to sleep

Hand editing your Windows Registry is not something I would normally recommend, but these instructions are simple and direct. Do exactly as directed and you'll be fine. If you get lost/stuck for some reason, tag me.

The fact that I don't hear about more people talking about Children Of the Round Table (C.O.R.T.) is tragic. Maybe not criminal, but it oughtta be.

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

This is my fault! I trusted the Malwarebytes article and saw how it broke my own email. I've deleted my original post so it can't spread anymore and posted this correction. I regret the error!
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.
