Follow-up: George Paget Thomson, one of the physicists who experimentally confirmed wave behavior of the electron, was the son of J. J. Thomson, the physicist credited with verifying that the electron is a distinct particle.
Dad showed that the electron is a particle, and his son, in an act of filial physics rebellion, showed that it’s a wave.
Okay though because I'm starting to see a whole lot of usage creep: I feel like "slur" shouldn't just become a synonym for "word that people use in mean ways".

Remember everyone, never make.your players make a skill check unless you're prepared for both a critical success and a critical failure. Possibly even both at once.

mastodon meta, on recommending mastodon to people
if you recommend anyone to mastodon, give them personal recommendations with notes of experience with the admins ("hey i'm on [instace] and the admin has treated me really well and shares marginalizations with me and knows my struggle") instead of or as well as big lists.
when you give someone a list, all the options sound kinda the same. when you say "check out mastodon" people go to mastodon.social. people don't understand instances a lot.

Mastodon is an anagram for "not so mad"

Doe anyone know any artists who:
1. Take commissions
2. Are good at realizing textual descriptions
3. Can convincingly depict characters in microgravity environments
4. Can draw good non-furry humans, but
5. Can handle some pretty weird parahuman modifications?
I have a character from a setting where space travel and genetic modification are common, and she's got some weird stuff going on, like glowing hair and a second pair of hands instead of feet (way more useful in microgravity)

Well, I did a thing. I finished up that article I was writing about housing negotiation. I'm really proud of this. Please give it a read, and let me know what you think?

idk why but something about shorthanding the measure of capacitance picoFarad (pF) to "puff" makes me smile a little.
e.g. "yeah it's good practice to throw a 1-puff decoupling cap on the Vcc"
old Bird Site UX
@Felthry That when away when the pulled the user tags out of the body of the tweet and into metadata.
old Bird Site UX
@Felthry So it used to be, if a tweet started with a username it would only be visible to that user and people who follow both of you. If you wanted to reply AND show your reply to all your followers, the common practice was to sneak a . in front of the username.
people are dismissively joking that Mastodon is some ultra-complex shit, as if dot-replies or a lot of other old twitter UX were in any way obvious.
extremely tired of folks on bird site who don't use mastodon opining about presumed failures of federation.
