may we live forever

having being anti death penalty as one of my core beliefs is fun because it really makes me realize how even progressive people want soooooo badly for there to be a category of people they can kill. I'm sorry but "group of people okay to kill" does not exist.

WHEEZE. what do you MEAN impsec sank

Judging from the name in the tags of the person who reblogged this where I could see it, I am taking an educated guess what a blorbo is. Mine is Rachel Berenson or Nynaeve al'Meara. They'd be fine. The only way I could see it being a problem is if the handcuff issue keeps them from doing their thing. They would not be happy. But their love interests are cool dudes, and don't get jealous, nor are they super-horny, so I don't think they'd be pissed at me for cramping their style for one night.

Reblog if you're a human that uses em-dashes

I just bought it! I’m accumulating marginalia at a disturbing rate.

if you're going to be serious about getting people to stop doing a heavily corporate-pushed and societally pressured thing that harms them you cannot hope that banning them from doing it will do literally anything. you have to do whatever they were doing in the 90s that turned the tide against smoking so hard that Big Tobacco had to invent a whole new form of nicotine to hook the youths en masse

Make lots of commercials about how bad it is? Pass laws limiting access to materials? Pass other laws restricting where you can do the thing? Stare judgementally at anyone doing the thing?

Banning things works great. They banned smoking in restaurants in my state years back, and no one smokes in restaurants, there's a lot less of it in public, generally, and less people take it up. Love it

Oh, wow. You’re in for a ride! How far into the book are you?

Oh, yeah, for sure. I’ve been meaning to look into Kim Stanley Robinson’s research methodology, because he either does tremendous amounts of research or he’s supremely gifted at BSing.
