This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

Riven *needed* the recovery time. She was in hysterics, and her summons were equally as fucked up. Ever since the encounter with Aulus mal Asina, she had a lockdown spell intermingled with her arcanistry tattoos that should something happen to her soul by force, her summoning ability would be sealed

#wolqotd / #wolquestion your wol has just finished "in from the cold" and have been granted about 12-24 hours to rest and recover from the ordeal. what does this stretch of time look like for them? are they actually resting, or do they need to be forced? who do they want sitting there with them?

Unboxing copies of my new novel The Fist Of Memory. Its got aliens, assassins and ancestors + some chapters open with quotes from Hagakure: The Book Of The Samurai so I thought it would be cool to open the box with a samurai sword. Fancy, I know. Out in October but you can preorder it right now.

I actually am missing like 7,000+ followers at the moment, so I’d like to humbly request a favor. Could you RT this post to reconnect me with My friends? 👉👈 Not everyone knows I’m back 🥺

“Writing builds our working memory, executive planning skills and metacognition — the ability to think about our thinking, weigh alternate viewpoints and revise for clarity and style. It takes decades to develop writing skills, from toddlerhood into adulthood.”

What Do Students Lose When They Stop Writing?

Educators are worried that many students can no longer write essays without A.I. And it’s costing more than just grammar skills.

I have destroyed lots of books. They won’t make an impact on the state of community knowledge. What is being described here? You are watching us lose knowledge in hyperdrive. You should not be chill about this.

Once again and over and over until it gets through: archives and libraries scanning something for preservation is an entirely different story than private citizens and companies doing it, because there are strict ethical standards for the former and the latter consider them annoyances.

It must be nice to be so cool that watching books with irreplaceable human knowledge is being sucked into a tool owned by Amazon doesn’t worry you in the slightest. Alas, I am not that cool and I also have studied history.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

This I imagine, would resonate extremely hard with healers who have stepped into that breach to protect their patients--in fact I'm thinking about any healer WoLs and the attack at Rhalgr's Reach in the first part of Stormblood. You just *know* they went after the infirmary.

the notion that either of these groups would be willing to die for those they protect is carefully avoided calyx’s necrophobia is so severe, he either cannot conceive of a love and devotion that is stronger than death—or worse, he cannot imagine such a love as deserving honor.
