the journey
oopsie~ o///o
Emeryne's crow friend, blueberry, flies to see her in the middle of winter. Thank goodness she's okay, it's so cold these days and- oops.
(also it's hard to tell but darcy/blueberry is carrying an acorn in her mouth that's stem is connected to another acorn, as a sweet gift of love)

MAGIC CROW GIRLFRIEND
The great critic Barbara McClay has written about the "politics creep" in every corner of human life, though really of bourgeois Anglophone human life, where every act from reading a novel to lighting a scented candle can be justified - and in fact, self-consciously needs to be justified in advance - as a bold act of resistance. Pretending that self-care is a brave political act detracts from actual political acts, and it sucks the life out of life itself: turning every moment into a performance for an audience, for an imagined crowd of other people on social media. This is other people not as fellow complicated human beings, but as fearful object, whose inner lives are imaginable only insofar as they might be watching and comparing and judging us for whether we've done enough, whether we're wasting our time. And books and movies and TV shows and every other form of fiction will always be, to some extent, a waste of time, as having friends will be a waste of time, as being in love is a waste of time, as every possible action or thought you may have could be considered a waste of time if every second of your life has to prove its value, and has to get a job.

amir khusrow (1253–1325 CE)
This is back on my dash! And listen, I love to see Amir Khusrau getting appreciation, but this translation ignores a lot. The original rhymes! And scans! And does playful things with register! And conveys a tone of affectionate banter between the two speakers, not least because it has them both addressing each other as sakhi (translated above as “girl”) in the last two lines. I think taking some liberties with line order is worth it to preserve more of the rest—and I think there’s a better translation of sakhi. And so:
He only visits once a year, I splurge big on him when he’s here, His kisses make my tastebuds tango. Who, bitch, your man? Nah, bitch, a mango.
curious to hear y'all's suggestions for the worst possible pasta shape
(Assume that "pasta" needs to be made of sheets or strands of dough with enough surface area relative to thickness so that they can be cooked.)
I was going to suggest fettuccini but twisted with the ends connected to form a Möbius strip, but then I realized that would fuck like hell.
@fishofthewoods I did NOT expect to get such a strong contender so early.

my sister and her husband go see new movies a lot and a place near the theater they go to does $5 margaritas on monday so they’ve started doing marg movie mondays where they go see a movie and get a marg but they call the margaritas different things based on what they’re seeing. as far as naming goes “wuthering margs” was a little bit of a miss for me but it was preceded by “margipliers” when we saw iron lung so thats kind of a lot to live up to

Here's a summary of NPR's findings about the report that a whistleblower filed to Congress about how DOGE violated security protocols and co
In fact, in the minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming. Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password, according to [whistleblower] Berulis.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
A whistleblower has basically given us the missing piece of the puzzle. DOGE might be accessing all of this sensitive government data across dozens of agencies…to feed to Russia.
This should be a bombshell - and corroborates the formerly-conspiracy-theory-turning-real-possibility of Trump & Co. being Russian agents.
Oh, and Trump announced in a memo this same day that he plans to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (which funds NPR and PBS).
After calling out suspicious data access by DOGE, one whistleblower suddenly found himself in the crosshairs of the world's wealthiest man a
Oh look, it gets far worse.

"That was beneath me" is such a delightfully funny way to apologise. Like yeah I did something shitty that I regret doing, and I'm ready to admit to both of those points, but you're shitting squirrels if you think I'm going to get off my moral high horse to do that.
hi! sorry if you've already answered this, but i absolutely adore your tithenai chronicles, and was wondering if you had any favorite queer books to recommend/suggestions for what a fan of your work should read next :) before inevitably restarting my strange and stubborn endurance audiobook again <3 thank you!
Ahh, thank you so much! Regarding book recommendations, two of my all-time favourites are The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (along with the spin-off novella trilogy, The Cemeteries of Amalo, which consists of The Witness for the Dead, The Grief of Stones and the forthcoming The Tomb of Dragons), and The Books of the Raksura series by Martha Wells (which consists of seven books total: a trilogy, two short story anthologies, and then a final duology). However, I'd also like to recommend some works by authors that are less well-known than Addison and Wells, so! In no particular order:
The Bone Universe trilogy (Updraft, Cloudbound and Horizon) by Fran Wilde;
The Broken Trust quadrilogy (Mazes of Power, Transgressions of Power, Inheritors of Power and a still forthcoming title) by Juliette Wade;
The Titan's Forest trilogy (Crossroads of Canopy, Echoes of Understorey and Tides of the Titans) by Thoraiya Dyer; and
The Ascendant trilogy (The Tiger's Daughter, The Phoenix Empress and The Warrior Moon) by K. Arsenault Rivera. Happy reading! :D
I wrote the above reply in a rush and thus, to my great shame and annoyance, left off several other books and authors that deserve a mention! Namely:
The Serpent Gates duology (The Unspoken Name and The Thousand Eyes) by A.K. Larkwood;
The Tarot Sequence (The Last Sun, The Hanged Man and The Hourglass Throne so far, with a projected six more books to come) by K.D. Edwards;
The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera;
Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo;
The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez; and
The Radiant Emperor duology (She Who Became the Sun and He Who Drowned the World) by Shelley Parker-Chan.
