Spoiling Works For Yourself Through Recognition of Narrative Tropes · 11:15am May 8th, 2023

So, I was lying in bed tonight, and I realized something about Honkai: Star Rail, the latest gambling simulator video game from the makers of Genshin Impact.

This isn't the first time.

Years ago, someone told me that there was a show called The Good Place, and it was about someone who went to Heaven (i.e. the Good Place) by accident.

If you get a strange message on Discord, it is probably a way of stealing your Discord account · 3:37pm Jul 1st, 2022

Hey folks!

I know I have some of you added on Discord.

I got a strange message from someone this morning "from" someone on FIMFiction inviting me to a Discord server. Said server requested that I scan a QR code to join it using my mobile Discord app.

I'm 99.9% certain that it is just a way to hijack people's accounts, doubly so as I was unable to reply to the person in question.

Spanish Translations of Stories! · 10:35pm Mar 25th, 2021

A bit of an unexpected surprise, but I got a message yesterday from Spaniard Kiwi that they had translated ten of my stories into Spanish.

I'm glad to see there are people still working on bringing stories to folks who don't speak English!

Raya and the Last Dragon · 11:35pm Mar 24th, 2021

Raya and the Last Dragon - or Raya and her Trust Issues - is a decent but unexceptional CG animated movie from Disney. The movie features vibrant and striking visuals, but a cast of essentially two characters plus a bunch of character shaped props.

It is a movie whose moral is that it is only by extending trust can we expect trust in return wherein the ENTIRE PLOT is driven by people backstabbing those who were foolish enough to trust them.

Discrimination against gay and transgender people now illegal in the United States under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 · 9:09pm Jun 15th, 2020

While this is a bit off-topic, I know a lot of you will be happy to hear that the US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 today that discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation was illegal under the Civil Rights Act of 1964:
