Fae: “Tell us your true name.” Me: “…Just my name? No birthdate, no SSN, no fingerprint scan, no address, no mother’s maiden name? Are you sure you’ve even got the right Olivia Waite? There’s like six.” Fae: “What the hell kind of bargains have you been making?” Me: “They call it health insurance.”
The sistrum is in my right hand, he dispels your wrath; the menit-necklace is in my left hand to push away your violence. (OGC)
I will have power and I will eat under the branches of the tree of Hathor my mistress, who made offering of bread, beer and corn in Heliopolis. (BDF)

This is my personal "we drank from the hose and didn't have a curfew"
Max Gladstone@maxgladstone.bsky.social · 3w agoAs far as "books for kids" go I do sometimes wonder if the existence of a YA shelf robs young folks of the joys of early unsupervised exposure to the ranting of depraved communists and libertarian sex-weirdos in the SFF section, an important inoculation when it doesn't destroy 3-10 years of yr life

Confronting your fears takes courage. That is obvious. But doing so also takes compassion. You must understand why the fear took hold in the first place, and be gentle with the part of you that shrank away from it. You must attack your fears, not yourself for having them.
The ability to recognize the suffering of others and offer assistance is not only honorable, but it will serve you well in many situations, some unexpected. Compassion is a transferable skill.

Mazikeen has a collection of squeaky plushies in @leavesdancing.bsky.social’s bedroom, where they’re guarded by the scary cats (so Aleya can’t steal them). She brought down the tiny monster to share a fleece blanket in comfort.
When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."
The smallest act of defiance may be all it takes to bring forth the hidden courage inside of you. Snarl in the face of your fears, let them cower at what they've unleashed.
Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.
As you strive for an honorable life, know that you will make mistakes, that you will stumble. So will everyone seeking to do the right thing. Honor is a path through the complex landscape of life, not a fence to keep out trespassers.
