Hydration break

Tonight's book club meeting discussed The Wind's Twelve Quarters, a collection of short stories be Le Guin. Some of these I had read before, some of them were new, and rather fatefully it contains The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. Which is as good a reason as any to link some of my work:

Simile

the 'badly run forum' problem raises it's head again in that the dox-and-harass-irl guy is banned but nobody has any idea if it's permanent or not, which is quite important

Wrote this article for Phantasm Arm yesterday while stuck on the phone for an hour listening to my dad go on about how his water rights have been stolen by the blueberry industry (don't ask). It's maybe a little low on context but it got a good review so I'm sharing it here.

Because Ace Combat is back I am once again sharing my work as that is a series that has been zooming around the interior of my skull for decades and which has been a major influence on this setting.

I also want to express my love for Dr Beth Upton. That woman truly has more courage than any of us.

'literacy crisis'/'taught to guess at words' type-posting getting over the hump to becoming a way to swaddle dismissal of substantive disagreement imo. broadly similar process to what happened with 'gaslighting' but with an intellectual rather than personally moralising tone to fit the era
