A writer with a website: <a href="https://varietal-literature.ca/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://varietal-literature.ca/</a> [website down until I can raise money to host again] I was there for the collapse of LiveJournal, MySpace, Google Plus, and now Twitter.I also host two livestreams a week. One where I read folklore with sfx & drama. The other where I write using Solo TTRPGs & live chat suggestions.

"The court is a backstop to national jurisdiction, not a rival to it. Its job is to close gaps in accountability, not override domestic justice. Rubio knows this. He is counting on the rest of us not to point out the truth." https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/canada-needs-to-stand-against-marco-rubios-anti-icc-crusade--even-if-it-costs-us/article_c785a7b8-a495-41f6-bd40-c5cc6f51de32.html #News #PoliticalOpEd #canpoli #ICC

Hey #folklore folks, I&#39;m struggling to find early collected tales about #BabaYaga that reference the chicken-leg house. I know there is a collection in the 70s with it, but I have a couple collections of Russian folklore that make no references in any of her tales. Whats the earliest collected reference to her chicken leg house?

Buying a WOTC module in the 2010s for 5e was basically buying a pitch package for a game you were going to have to write and make yourself. #dnd #dnd5e

I guess I was born today a long time ago and nothing I can do will change that.

Recently had to look at #Instagram on a friend&#39;s phone. Holy shit, how did I ever use that app? It&#39;s like a child screaming in your face then hitting you with a billboard. Thank God for the #Fediverse. May I never tread back into corporate social media.

If one more person tells me &quot;AI is neither good nor bad, it&#39;s just a tool&quot; I&#39;m going to throw my head through a wall. It&#39;s bad. It&#39;s bad for the environment, the price of everything, jobs, and--perhaps most relevantly--it&#39;s bad at being a fucking tool. If I had a crowbar that fucked up as much as AI, it&#39;d be national news and we&#39;d all ban it for breach of consumer confidence.

The media is such a wiener for Elon Musk. The dude will say baseless nonsense like "in ten years every one will have telekinesis" and it'll be a headline with no skepticism. Besides being an actual Nazi, he also has been wrong about everything for a decade. We aren't on mars, the hyperloop is a single-lane tunnel in one city, AI is still broken, and DOGE somehow added cost while reducing services. He's an idiot. Stop quoting him like anything he says is meaningful.
