Honestly the “people are like sunsets” simile that’s in the Reckoners is so potent and wonderful. I think it might be my favorite Sanderson quote

David being forced to become an Epic and just saying no thanks is really funny to me. He’s (to use his own metaphor) a washing machine at a gun show. Its kinda similar to Kaladin shaking off the depression beam

You know what, I’m headcannoning that the alternate Firefight that Megan pulls on for her illusions is a trans dude and that’s why he’s a guy in that reality.

Honestly the Reckoners trilogy truly has some of Sanderson’s best setting work. Newcago is a city made entirely out of steel, from what used to be glass in windows to a large chunk of Lake Michigan, bathed in eternal starless night. Babylon Restored is manhattan but sunk so that only the tops of skyscrapers peek out from water, lit by glowing spraypaint and fruit. Ildithia is Atlanta turned into a city of moving salt (honestly it has a similar idea to canticle in that everybody has to move frequently). It’s just such good evocative work!

I’ve been rereading Steelheart, which is a non-cosmere Sanderson book that follows the basic premise of a group of assassins trying to kill an evil Superman-like. The philosophy present in it is so interesting and I honestly think it’s one of Sanderson’s better works (the rest of the series is not as good but oh well).

There’s a lot of play with whether power is inherently corrupting and whether people can stop being human, either through their own actions or through being granted superhuman abilities.

Beyond that there’s also themes around whether people should settle for a lesser evil or be willing to cause harm to create a better future. Should the Reckoners kill Steelheart because of all the harm he’s done, or should they leave him alive so that his domain remains stable and safer than other areas?

And there’s really potent themes around abuse, authoritarianism and fear. Spoilers for the book if you haven’t read it! It’s really good and you should try it!

This blog is going to get into a hiatus (I've run out of Cosmere to read ) and I actually want to start writing

the-stormwagon

Good luck and have fun! I’ve really appreciated your Spanish cosmere posts, especially those about Lightsong/sondeluz. It’s been really helpful for me to practice my own Spanish, and generally fun to see your insights.

#cosmere #warbreaker #lightsong #sondeluz

Just began act 2, and getting to this first properly interactive portion is really cool! Also what the heck is going on?! This is getting wild! I can’t wait to see what happens!

I have made the extremely ill-advised decision to start reading Homestuck. I’ll be live-blogging my experience to the best of my ability, but if you don’t want to see that, please block the “stormwagon reads homestuck” tag.

Oh the format is actually pretty interesting. The combination of second person choose-your-own-adventure or visual novel narration and using links named after an action to switch panels creates a vibe of being a player in a video game with no choices. It also makes the idea of having videogame mechanics for the character less jarring. I’m actually excited to see how the format is used going forward!

i'm getting the sense some of you are not actually forklift certified.

THE PLOT THICKENS @averagejoey2000 explain yourself

averagejoey2000

I can't believe this is how I'm finding out that I got a scam forklift cert.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

29 CFR 1910.178 (l)(2)(ii)

but I did the in person practical shit at school.

averagejoey2000

the back of the card even had fancy numbers on it. I couldn't have known that this isn't the one. this website sounded more official than certifyme.net, and there wasn't one with a .gov address.

averagejoey2000

so, I emailed OSHA, and they said that so long as I live and work in California, there's no such thing as forklift certification. I have to be told how to do it every time I get the job.

averagejoey2000

Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.

You liked the Mistblåhaj post around the time the next ask came in. Are you the mysterious person submitting me this idea or must I keep looking?

I am not that person, unfortunately. Though I would love to have the Wit to think of Mistblåhaj!

Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.
