Hey I have a weirdly specific fiction craving lately. Anybody got steampunk or fantasy novel recommendations that include adventures with a mapmaker or an engineer of some sort? Fantasy realm or steampunk nerds going on adventures, I wanna read about them. What have you got?
The Girl Genius webcomic fits the bill 👍🏻

Lmao imagine worshiping some chump that lost a fiddle contest to a kid in Georgia
Satanists silence on this topic speaks volumes
“The Play’s the Thing” (Hamlet Act 2, Scene 2), adapted by Binah Q. For this year’s Graphic Shakespeare Competition.
My absolute favorite soliloquy in Hamlet and the illustrations are fantastic! Fantastic work! I hope you do great in the competition!
There’s always this lurking shame when I insist that Star Wars is just as good as Star Trek when I see That Discourse, because way in the back of my mind I know… I know which one’s better… but it almost feels like blasphemy to say it…

“evening”
Do you pronounce it “Even-Ing” or “Eve-Ning”?
Depends if I’m channeling Dracula or not. Normality, eve-ning, but in vampire mode even-ing for sure.
I made this for myself but y’all can have it too. I love him. so much.,.,.,,,,
Human: “It must be a dreary existence, unable to love, to eat, to sleep, to laugh… I feel sorry for you.” Robot: “I can laugh. I have a sense of humor, you know.” Human: “Really? I’ve never heard you laugh before.” Robot: “I’ve never heard you say anything funny.”
Can’t believe Ship is supporting the evil robot trope. It just straight up murdered that guy.
When I walk into the mall and see Christmas decorations up the day after Halloween, I feel the same way Hamlet did when his mom married his annoying uncle so shortly after his father’s death.
Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the Halloween Mars Bars/Did coldly furnish forth the Christmas stockings
Stop taking people with dementia to the cemetery
“Oh yeah, every time that dad forgets mom is dead, we head to the cemetery so he can see her gravestone.”
WHAT. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard some version of this awful story. Stop taking people with dementia to the cemetery. Seriously. I cringe every single time someone tells me about their “plan” to remind a loved one that their loved one is dead.
I also hear this a lot: “I keep reminding mom that her sister is dead, and sometimes she recalls it once I’ve said it.” That’s still not a good thing. Why are we trying to force people to remember that their loved ones have passed away?
If your loved one with dementia has lost track of their timeline, and forgotten that a loved one is dead, don’t remind them. What’s the point of reintroducing that kind of pain? Here’s the thing: they will forget again, and they will ask again. You’re never, ever, ever, going to “convince” them of something permanently.
Instead, do this:
“Dad, where do you think mom is?”
When he tells you the answer, repeat that answer to him and assert that it sounds correct. For example, if he says, “I think mom is at work,” say, “Yes, that sounds right, I think she must be at work.” If he says, “I think she passed away,” say, “Yes, she passed away.”
People like the answer that they gave you. Also, it takes you off the hook to “come up with something” that satisfies them. Then, twenty minutes later, when they ask where mom is, repeat what they originally told you.
I support this sentiment. Repeatedly reminding someone with faulty memory that a loved one has died isn’t a kindness, it’s a cruelty. They have to relieve the loss every time, even if they don’t remember the grief 15 minutes later.
In other words, don’t try to impose your timeline on them in order to make yourself feel better. Correcting an afflicted dementia patient will not cure them. They won’t magically return to your ‘real world’. No matter how much you might want them to.
It’s a kindness of old age, forgetting. Life can be very painful. Don’t be the one ripping off the bandage every single time.
I used to work as a companion in a nursing home where one of the patients was CONVINCED I was her sister, who’d died 40 years earlier. And every time one of the nurses said “that’s not Janet, Janet is dead, Alice, remember?” Alice would start sobbing.
So finally one day Alice did the whole “JANET IS HERE” and this nurse rather nastily went “Janet is dead” and before it could go any further I said “excuse me??? How dare you say something so horrible to my sister?”
The nurse was pissed, because I was “feeding Alice’s delusions.” Alice didn’t have delusions. Alice had Alzheimer’s.
But I made sure it went into Alice’s chart that she responded positively to being allowed to believe I was Janet. And from that point forward, only my specific patient referred to me as “Nina” in front of Alice—everyone else called me Janet, and when Alice said my name wasn’t Nina I just said “oh, it’s a nickname, that’s all.” It kept her calm and happy and not sobbing every time she saw me.
It costs zero dollars (and maybe a little bit of fast thinking) to not be an asshole to someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Be kind.
I wish I had heard this stuff when Grandma was still here.
I read once that you have to treat dementia patients more like it’s improv, like you have to take what they say and say to yourself “ok, and” and give them more of a story to occupy them and not just shut it down with something super harsh.
A nurse I used to work with always told us: “If a man with dementia is trying to get out of bed to go to work, don’t tell him he’s 90 and in a nursing home. Tell him it’s Sunday and he can stay in bed. If a woman with dementia is trying to stand because she wants to get her husband’s dinner out of the oven, don’t tell her he’s been dead for 20 years. Tell her you’ll do it for her and she can sit back down.”
Always remembered that, always did it. Nothing worse than hearing someone with memory loss ask the same question over and over again only to be met with: “We already told you!”
Just tell them again.
I’ve worked with elderly dementia patients, and I agree with all the above. Treat them as you’d like to be treated in the same situation.
Same. I’ve worked with patients like these and even my grandma was convinced for a day that I was my aunt. Just roll with it.

Everyone made fun of me when I licked that salt flat, but how many of YOU have ingested a prehistoric ocean???
Made an ass of myself today when a mom went out of her way to thank me for being kind and patient toward her young son and for answering all of his weird questions. It didn’t immediately occur to me to say “you’re welcome” because it seemed weird to be specifically thanked for fulfilling the most basic function of my job. So I just. Stood there blinking stupidly trying to figure out what to say until she walked away.
One time someone asked me out and I had a hard time processing this so I just stood there staring into space for an uncomfortable amount of time.
“Are you a boy or girl?”
Brave of you to assume I’m a human

I’ve been trying to cancel my doctor’s appointment for two weeks now but I’ve been busy every day they’ve been open and none of the numbers I’ve tried during my lunch breaks get me through to the right office.
Blargh!!!
Dear doctor, do you know how many of my lunch breaks I’ve skipped because I’ve spent them hiding in a closet at work trying to get through to you, only to give up after being on hold the full half hour I am alotted to eat?
I’m having the same trouble trying to actually MAKE an apppointment. Guess I’ll just die 🤷🏻♂️. You can’t freaking win
Done illustrating the rad squad 💯 NOINE NOINE!
