"Great," the student said, "another princess coming to learn the sword instead of the needle."
"Leave," the swordmaster said to him. "Return when you have learned silence."
"I have mastered the needle," the princess said. "I wish to learn the sword as well."
"Both?"
She nodded.
"Both is good."

"There are," the swordmaster said with emphasis on every word, "many problems that can not be solved with a sword."
"Yes, but if you do attempt to solve them with a sword," the former student said, "you will get new problems, which can be solved with a sword."
"Yes. That's why they sent for me."

I strongly believe Black Joy is kryptonite to white supremacy, in all forms.
Black Americans will always find joy even when the world around us is burning.
And where joy can’t be found, we create it.
That’s one thing they keep trying to take from us and it pisses them off that they can’t.

You can't kiss in a space suit.
Nor hug or caress.
Of course, that would raise the heart rate, consuming more oxygen, and we have so little, so little left.
There's a chance help will arrive before it runs out.
If it doesn't, I'll regret not defying the vacuum and-
They're here. They're here.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.
The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.
Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

Yesterday’s protests are being mocked today by the “real” anarchists & revolutionaries as showboating. Look to your history my anarchic wannabes. Gutting governments is done more quickly than mobilizing regular citizens. Note: “real” revolutionaries & anarchists also ineffectual. Help or shut up.

It's said to be a fey forest, where you can get lost in time, years passing unnoticed.
I wander aimlessly, lightly touching boles of ancient trees. Suddenly I emerge into sunlight.
I blink. Who knows how long I've-
"There you are! You were gone for half an hour, we were getting worried!"
Damn.

The Constitution makes it motherfucking abundantly clear that presidential pardon power is absolute and there is no fucking magical unicorn provision for subsequent presidents to rescind “void” or “vacate” said pardons…
