‘Sic’ is used when you are quoting someone and leaving in a mistake (spelling, grammar, syntax) that they made in their own writing.
![Screenshot of the definition of ‘sic’, which reads: “used in brackets after a copied or quoted word that appears odd or erroneous to show that the word is quoted exactly as it stands in the original, as in: if only some people knew how much their selfish actions effect [sic] others or a hero of antient [sic] Rome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2ttyo5bfoy5f3655lif3ta7u/bafkreidixxounakd6oxwodqzzox5sev2sshrkgkwctgw2xilrlfkzpjbim@jpeg)

IIRC, the Bible is apparently quite clear on banning women from braiding their hair. Or mixing fabrics in garments.

Hey, so, just for that thing that I know a lot of people find difficult: context.
If you’re the kind of person who treats refugees as sub-human invaders, you’re literally behaving exactly like actual, 1930s Nazis. This is not hyperbole. Literal Nazis. You’re no different.

Seeing a few people surprised and/or irritated that The Damned King isn’t the final book in a trilogy, so please help me spread the word: THE EIDYN SAGA IS A FOUR-BOOK SERIES. It has been ever since I signed with Orbit in 2021. I’m writing book 4 right now. It’s coming!
