re: Phorm Doesn't Understand Lingo 

@Phorm You're also caked up!

@heatherhorns "It's quite all right, I'm just pretending to be a billboard."

@heatherhorns In this sort of situation I ask myself "Well, how did I get here?" This is often followed up by the realization that I am in someone else's beautiful house, wondering where the local highway goes, and becoming preoccupied with some ethical questions regarding my own actions and possible regrets.

@anthracite Fuck yeah huge chunky serpent time. Winter's here, time to coil up with your tail and a warm rock.

@hystericempress Yyyyyyeah. There are bits about Dune that I particularly like and there are bits about Dune that I really wish would be Not A Thing. <..<

LGBT rights, Poland, please boost 

* talking about LGBT ppl/issues in schools;
* Pride marches and any other LGBT-related public events;
* public endorsement of same-sex marriage or rights;

You read that right. If you say "I think gay people should get to be married" in a public setting, the new law states that you'd be committing a crime.

I know not everyone is equally passionate about LGBT activism, but this is actual insanity.

LGBT rights, Poland, please boost 

(Reposted from Birdside, thread)

Today, the Polish parliament will read a proposed law that makes it illegal to "promote homosexuality", including - I am not exaggerating - pretty much ANY positive talk of LGBT+ people and their rights in public settings.

And foreign media seem almost entirely silent on this.

The law was drafted a while ago, but didn't get into the Parliament for procedural reasons.

It EXPLICITLY bans e.g.:

internet impact 

I see people on birdsite are talking about their biggest impacts on the internet today. So why not, I'll say it here too.

For multiple years in the early 00s, a picture of me was the top result if you did an image search on AskJeeves for the word "author". It was just a JPG named "the_author" on my website.

To this day I've no idea why. My guess is image rank was based partially on file creation date? It was an old picture.

Eventually I got tired of it and blocked search crawlers. My picture stopped appearing in search results. I do wonder sometimes exactly how long it would have continued if I hadn't done that.

@irisjaycomics I think about Pinkwater's YA books a lot. Especially Borgel and Lizard Music, and the Snarkout Boys. He's always been fond of the weirdo.
