So, as a lifelong nerd invested in fantasy and silly woo-woo, I honestly thought I'd seen every imaginable pretentious alternate spelling of "fairy magic."
But by golly today I saw one I don't remember seeing before. 😅
@ElleGray If only we had much less #LightPollution and #LightTrespass so we could see stars, Milky Way without driving for hours to the backcountry.😕😡 International Dark Sky Association (IDA) a great resource, including model dark-sky ordinances.👍
@Tim_Eagon Me too! I think a lot of us did. Hence the specifics of my joke ... "Hey, people loved to hate Joffrey! Does anyone hear the ka-ching I'm hearing when I say let's make a show entirely centered on that?" 😅
And I'm overstating it. A very, very tiny bit. Not much.
A French court has banned all Israeli arms companies, their affiliates and all Israeli delegations from participating in the #Eurosatory weapons trade show.

A group of 30 organisations that successfully brought a case arguing Israeli companies should be banned from participating in the #Eurosatory weapons trade show said there remained a “high risk that the exhibition would contribute to international crimes, and violations of international humanitarian law”.
i find it extemely unlikely that someone would be involved in trans rights and not personally know any trans people as either friends or family, be a closet or an egg, or be openly trans. and yet the obvious existence of these unicorns is the foundation of most “that fictional character isn’t trans” arguments online
I'm just checked to see where my #Knave 2e book was since it was in Chicago, IL as of this morning. It's in freaking St. Paul, MN? You have to pass Madison to get there from Chicago!
@Tim_Eagon Mine is in the void between borders for days, but it did also spend a good week kicking off in Chicago and then taking a leisurely tour all around two other stops in IL before /returning to Chicago/ and finally moving on to get stuck in the void.
US citizens: call on state legislatures not to allow teachers to carry guns in school. The myth that a "good guy with a gun" will protect people from a murderer with a gun is true often on Have Gun Will Travel, but that is fiction. In real life it is rarely effective.
You're right, but for the wrong reason. You don't want Woke weirdos with colored hair and face piercings carrying guns, and that's what most teachers are in government schools. Get your children out of government schools and they'd be safer.
