Because @utilitycaster was wondering if anyone looked into where Rán-Beor comes from because "that's gotta be mythology", I did some poking around and, apparently, it is!
As far as I can tell, it's derived from interpreting an eth (ð) as an o and is from rán-beðr, a kenning invoking Rán, the Norse goddess and personification of the sea, to refer to the seafloor:
#thresher#I feel a little conflicted rn because mistaking edh for fancy o is one of these things that really annoys me#so I'm at the same time admiring the research because today 97% of people outside scandinavia who know what kennings are#are academics in relevant fields and norse pagans#so it's cool that they got that#but another facet is me just screaming internally about that poor letter#it's just one of A Things for me ok. along with th and abusing non latin alphabets as aesthetic fonts. ignore me I'm just letting this out

On a happier note, I’d LOVE to see some fic about someone trying to blackmail Sam Vimes (or Lady Sybil for that matter), because it just WOULDN’T WORK
try to convince Sam Vimes he should be ashamed of something about himself and he’ll make it a point of pride and gleefully answer your badly cut-out letters on the very front page of the newspaper.

someone called me "divisive" for pointing out someone's binary language in a transgender-specific post, so here's a reminder:
it's people putting humanity into two gender boxes doing the dividing, not nonbinary people wanting to be seen.
it's the people separating good valid transgender men and women worth fighting for from supposedly invalid nonbinary people who aren't even worth mentioning doing the dividing, not nonbinary people pointing out systemic exclusion.
it's those excluding nonbinary who are being divisive, not nonbinary people taking up space.
most of the time calling nonbinary people divisive is absolutely ridiculous.

Today I stopped along the fence to see the most beautiful tree in the world in full bloom. The scent is intoxicating. While I was there someone in a pickup truck stopped to look and said “I’ve been here 3 years and I never noticed that tree!”
Sometimes I think my main function in life is just to stand and say, “Look!”

are you easily clockable as queer
#as a queer in general? yea to other queers I'm very obvious. to normies also likely if they know basic things#as nonbinary tho? hell if I know. sometimes I feel like very much so but sometimes I feel like people are just talking to my boobs sigh#it'w wild one day a cishet guy in his fifties will make point to gender neutral language when talkig with me#and next day a queer teen will call me ma'am while complementing my nonbinary flag pins (wtf kid. thanks but wtf)#there are quite few things in my appearance that arent the way i would like them mostly because money#but I believe one day this will have to change because thought of having my boobs for the rest of my life is too depressing#about me

A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.

How very depressing that Neil Gaiman had trended not even a tiny bit for demonstrating what a fucking horrific person he is.
As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.
He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.
He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.
Share the story. Put it on Facebook and bluesky and whatever else you're on. Make it clear what a horrifying person he is. Tell your friends. He's paying Edendale a fortune to try and cover this up. Make this hard for him. Make it cost him money.
