Yes! Back in the 90s, I used to say Jane Austen was like Tim Allen for women. So incredibly clever.

Jane Austen was a satirist, not a romance writer. Every adaptation that turns her into soft candlelight and longing glances has successfully removed the thing that made her a genius. She was mean. That was the point.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Far more often than you think, people do not react to the actions you do or the words you say.

They react to how they believe you feel about them when you do or say it.

What do you like better about pizza, the form or the flavor? Which would you choose, if given the choice? Something that looked like pizza, but with non-traditional flavor, or something that tastes like pizza but in a non-traditional form?

I love cons and symposiums so much. I just watched 5 experts on ttrpgs give an absolutely killer amount of information and stories and experience to about 40 people on a panel that was not recorded and will never be available to anyone again. Incredible that it happens. So great.
