Introducing: Lightning!

Introducing "Lightning", my first novel - hitting shelves (hopefully) by early 2026!

I've been working on this project for the past 1.5 years, on and off, with my editor @starrynightarchive / @six-white-venus.

Lightning is part 1 of a 4-novel series titled "Human Conditions."

If you're looking for a series with queer representation, South Asian/Indian main characters, nuance and a lot of dialogue on various topics - this is for you.

It's an absolute honour to be sharing my works with you all. Stay tuned for more information on "Lightning" in the coming days!

I’m relistening to 5.4, and the thing that really gets me about VR-LA’s alternate timeline where he saves MR-SN is that that timeline is a bad ending tragedy for literally every other member of the crew except maybe Finbar. If the Per Aspera never drifts aimlessly through the Astral Sea, it’s never picked up and sold to Oto, Dani never gets her hands on a spelljammer. Maybe she and her brothers eventually get out from under Oto’s thumb, but without easily accessible planar travel it’s hard to imagine them leaving Brass. And for Dani, who grew up on the streets of Brass and for whom Oto taking her in meant so much to her because of how much of an improvement it was to her life, it seems unlikely that she’d make a home for herself in Brass outside the Heap. In this version of events Dani, Roy and Egan never leave the Heap. Dani never gets to see Mechanus or the second layer of Acheron. She never gets her ship.

Finbar’s life is probably the least changed. The Searing Tongue would probably assign him to a different spelljammer and he’d do his thing as normal. He probably even still gets involved in the Zuggtemoy conspiracy, since that was based around the Searing Tongue. Assuming the ship he ends up on is of similar skill to the Per Aspera’s crew, he and his other crew take care of Azotico and he maybe even makes up with Elyse. That all assumes events play out in a pretty similar way, but given that he’s got a completely different crew, things could go in any number of directions.

Vhas, without the crew of the Per Aspera, never escapes Tu'narath. There’s not much else to say for this one, it’s just generally bad for his prospects.

And, of course, Kyana. Without the crew of the Per Aspera to pick her up on the Astral Sea, she eventually swims her way to a portal. Whatever plane she ends up on, she’s hopelessly naive, and maybe she gets lucky and meets someone willing to help her, but the odds aren’t in her favour. Eventually she’s dragged back to the monastery. She— and Ione— are turned into mindflayers as the mindflayers’ plan to escape then destroy the planescape proceeds unchecked.

And then it comes to the NPCs. Enoch dies in Avernus. Ione and the rest of the monks get brain wormed. Cressida stays a mercenary. Roy and Egan never leave the Heap. Davion never meets the rest of B-team. Depending on the Finbar situation, Karrundentrassi might die to fucking fungus. Elyse might make up with Finbar but she just as easily might not. Hans has an even worse time making it to Mount Celestia and HE-11/Vice probably dies in Acheron. Emi eventually builds herself a working body and becomes an amoral murderbot wandering the Planescape, maybe after killing Casimir. And uh… things don’t look great for Maxim either. Yes, he still knows VR-LA in this timeline, but we know that A) in the current timeline, a big part VR-LA’s draw to Maxim is that he’s the only link VR-LA has to finding his old crew. If he still has his old crew, that draw never forms and they might never form a closer relationship. And B) we know that pre-amnesia VR-LA was more closed off than post-amnesia VR-LA, which to me indicates that pre-amnesia VR-LA probably wouldn’t put the same time and care into breaking down Maxim’s walls. It seems likely to me that in this alternate timeline, Maxim and VR-LA never become friends. And even if they do, Dani doesn’t discover Create Spelljammer for Vr-La to cast, so Maxim never gets his home turned into a spelljammer and never leaves his Sanctum.

I just wonder if when VR-LA thinks about that alternate timeline, he thinks about how saving the life of someone he cared about so much would inadvertently ruin the lives of all the people he cares about now, and I wonder if that keeps him up at night.

Some more of poly crew, the arranging of a cuddle pile

VR-LA laid over the first layer of pillows, accepting his fate of being at the bottom of the pile as his chest and legs were covered in pillows to make him actually comfortable to cuddle long term.

"Do you want an extra pillow under your head?" Kyana asked, her astral arms summoned to carry bedding for their pile, the stacks high. "To be more comfortable for yourself?"

VR-LA shook his head. "I like being flat."

"Okay!" Kyana chirped. "Any blankets over your pillows then?"

VR-LA shook his head again, he knew he'd probably already be close to being too warm the second Dani laid down. "I'm good."

Kyana hummed in thought, but was quickly distracted by Dani calling out instructions to her. "Could you just set the stacks down in the corner and go grab everything else?"

"Got it, captain!" Kyana replied, getting straight back to work, just stepping over VR-LA to get to the corner.

Vhas was almost done making his weird little nest, which was half over VR-LA's legs, for some reason, putting more pillows to create the ideal shape to curl his body into. Dani started pulling from the pile to find her favorite blanket, the thickest of the bunch, setting it aside so nobody would take it. She also grabbed Kyana's favorite, putting it aside too.

Kyana returned, carrying four normal water bottles and a hot water bottle for Dani. The fire genasi took the hot water bottle from Kyana, dropping it onto her side of VR-LA for laying on it. The nest making resumed for both, steadily more pillows and blankets gathering around VR-LA as he just laid there.

Eventually, everyone was laying down, comfortable on their elaborate pile.

"Goodnight everyone." VR-LA said.

"Night." Dani said.

"Night!" Kyana said.

"Night, mate." Vhas said. "Fists. Captain." He adde.

(rambly) spoilers under the cut but like

ohmygod rwd s5ep4 was so GOOD

the description mentioning a new god was so intriguing but i didnt expect austin pulling on some wild dnd lore and creating a super interesting challenge, it was really cool

the individual scenes showing off everyones personalities and arcs sooooo well and the dice playing in line with the rp, from vhas' impulsive and carefree personality paying off (i liked vhas before but i really like him now) to vr-la engaging w the mental aspect of the maze instead of the physical (and that WILD alternate timeline dream)

kyana's trial sucked so bad for her but it also made so much sense narratively?? the point of the maze was to develop a deeper understanding of the self and commit to a goal or path and kyana doesnt seem to have a solid long term goal for the future; her whole thing is running away but at some point thats not gonna be sustainable and her reluctant choice to run from stability reflected in the dice

dani's future choice is so interesting to me and feels like a very satisfying moment for a final season arc, especially since i was relistening to older episodes and saw how much dani grew in little ways (sophia describing dani as an asshole for bullying egan, still being mean to davion but now having a sense of respect; the self realization at pandemonium and trusting herself to be able to fix anything she puts her mind to; her becoming the captain of her own ship). i think i wouldve given dani a different choice in the moment, but i think sophia chose the right pressing decision for dani

AND THEN THE FIGHT: SHRINK ON THE DINO, NAT 20 WEIRD LITTLE DUDE FAMILIAR, THE REVIVIFY AND BEATDOWN ON THE INTELLECT DEVOURER

my perfect episode, chefs kiss, im so seated for the rest of the season

This means the whole current crew could kill Macbeth, as well as the original crew

Original crew - All also Mechanites, created not born

Dani and Kyana - Not men

Vhas - Hatched from an egg

Could VR-LA from the podcast Rolling with Difficulty kill Macbeth?

(You mentioned part of the fun was researching it on your own, but I can send the reason why I am asking if you would like me to)

Yes, VR-LA from the Rolling with Difficulty podcast could (presumably) kill Macbeth!

Since he is a mechanite (aka warforged), VR-LA can be assumed to have been constructed instead of born, presumably applying him for the Unconventional Birth Clause, though a specific creator doesn't seem to be mentioned from what I've found.

Thank you for your submission!

The Kingdom of Mapungubwe (or Maphungubgwe) (c.1075–1220) was a medieval state in South Africa located at the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers, south of Great Zimbabwe. The name is derived from either TjiKalanga and Tshivenda. The name might mean "Hill of Jackals". The kingdom was the first stage in a development that would culminate in the creation of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe in the 13th century, and with gold trading links to Rhapta and Kilwa Kisiwani on the African east coast. The Kingdom of Mapungubwe lasted about 80 years, and at its height the capital's population was about 5000 people.

This archaeological site can be attributed to the BuKalanga Kingdom, which comprised the Kalanga people from northeast Botswana and western Zimbabwe, the Nambya south of the Zambezi Valley, and the Vha Venda in the northeast of South Africa. The Mapungubwe Collection of artifacts found at the archaeological site is housed in the Mapungubwe Museum in Pretoria.

The largest settlement from what has been dubbed the Leopard's Kopje culture is known as the K2 culture and was the immediate predecessor to the settlement of Mapungubwe. The people of the K2 culture, probably derived from the ancestors of the Shona and Kalanga people of southern Africa, was attracted to the Shashi-Limpopo area, likely because it provided mixed agricultural possibilities.The area was also prime elephant country, providing access to valuable ivory. The control of the gold and ivory trade greatly increased the political power of the K2 culture. By 1075, the population of K2 had outgrown the area and relocated to Mapungubwe Hill

The capital of the kingdom was called Mapungubwe, which is where the kingdom gets its name.  There is controversy regarding the origin and meaning of the name Mapungubwe. Conventional wisdom has it that Mapungubwe means "place of jackals," or alternatively, "place where jackals eat", thavha ya dzi phunguhwe, or, according to Fouché—one of the earliest excavators of Mapungubwe—"hill of the jackals" (Fouché, 1937 p. 1).  It also means "place of wisdom" and "the place where the rock turns into liquid"—from various ethnicities in the region including the Pedi, Sotho, Venda and Kalanga.

Mapungubwean society is thought by archaeologists to be the first class-based social system in southern Africa; that is, its leaders were separated from and higher in rank than its inhabitants. Mapungubwe's architecture and spatial arrangement also provide "the earliest evidence for sacred leadership in southern Africa". Life in Mapungubwe was centred on family and farming. Special sites were created for initiation ceremonies, household activities, and other social functions. Cattle lived in kraals located close to the residents' houses, signifying their value. Most speculation about society continues to be based upon the remains of buildings, since the Mapungubweans left no written record. The kingdom was likely divided into a three-tiered hierarchy with the commoners inhabiting low-lying sites, district leaders occupying small hilltops, and the capital at Mapungubwe hill as the supreme authority. Elites within the kingdom were buried in hills. Royal wives lived in their own area away from the king. Important men maintained prestigious homes on the outskirts of the capital. This type of spatial division occurred first at Mapungubwe but would be replicated in later Butua and Rozwi states. The growth in population at Mapungubwe may have led to full-time specialists in ceramics, specifically pottery. Gold objects were uncovered in elite burials on the royal hill (Mapungubwe Hil

Bit of Headcanoning this morning. Forgive the length.

Tarnese / Kaonese

Kaonese and Tarnese contain the same basal foundation, with a very phonetic form and function. Due to the lack of adequate reading programs and a lack of access to education, this language was created around the ability to teach from one mechanism to another without the use of coursework.

Primarily, it is taught from batch leader to batch clade, and so on and so forth. In each subsequent generation the language shifts and expands as new words, modifiers, inflections, and actions are added to the vernacular. The main difference between the two city-states is the series of action modifiers that either includes factories or mining.

Basal glyph structure-

ae / ei / i / ai / ea / he / ve -

These basal sounds are the foundation of the lower levels of Kaon and Tarn. They are replicated through subvocal cortexes located within the back part of the vocalizer, or vox-coder (depending on one's construction or emergence) and simple action indicators.

Secondary Glyph Structure.

These secondary sounds are the building of the subject on top of the action indicators. The subject changes the rules of the action indicators, which allows the beginning phrase to take on several different meanings despite grammatically remaining the same.

Example:

che - to run vhe - to walk mhe- to jump

Adding secondaries such as:

sai - This one mhi - That one vha - That One (honorific- as neither basal dialect has a word for the singular possessive of "I.")

This changes with the addition to:

sai'che - this one runs mhi'vhe - that one runs Vha'mhe - The One jumps.

Tertiary Glyph Structure The last part of the basal structure is the modifier. The modifier is akin to the human adjective- as it describes how the subject is doing the action. This changes more on inflection than it does with actual word change and modification. Modifiers such as se, ve, ha, ni, cho help give the scope of what the action is doing in relation to the subject at hand.

Example:

sai/che + se = This one runs quickly mhi'cho'vhe = That one runs slowly. Vha'ha'mhe = The One ran loudly.

The modifiers help describe how the action is done, and what the subject is doing. This, of course, changes with honorifics, intent, and tone- depending on the situation at hand.

Sometimes, hand gestures can be incorporated to emphasize a point- which lends to Kaonites and Tarnians to be highly visual speakers with grandiose and exaggerated gestures. In more reserved cultures, this can be misconstrued as threatening or pompous- but it's simply because the Tarnians have had less access to the more verbose and intricate wordplay that higher Castes can utilize.

It's good to see you posting again Sarai! I have a question though. Vhaso'a has a new tumblr now and he talks of being single. I thought he and Sarai were a happy couple. Did something happen or is he playing you? He used to be really bad about that and I hoped he was getting better, but...

First of all, thank you for the welcome back! It feels good. I’m going to do my best to get content out more, even if a lot of it is aesthetics or screenshots. I want to do more writing though!

Second: Rest assured, nothing happened, Vhaso’a and Sarai are still a happy couple. He is in no way playing me, or anyone else for that matter. After his tumblrs got nuked from orbit, he didn’t bother making them again, he was fed up. Of course, he and I continued to RP outside of tumblr, and still have that going on! However, he decided recently to revamp Vha, and have his ingame play be a new verse - specifically, his single, playboy, Priest of Menphina persona - and have that verse be his default on tumblr. Kind of a reset, if you will. (that persona is the one he enjoys best and gives him the most drive to write and create content, he told me. I’m sure he’ll explain it sometime soon.) There are still other verses to be had, of course. Which includes ours and the history we already have over the past two years. He still hasn’t worked out all the kinks on how to handle that on tumblr just yet, but that’ll work itself out soon enough.

With that in mind, for now, anything I post that doesn’t have a specific tag is considered to be in Sarai’s canon. Her canon includes her history with Vhaso’a, however that happens to work out with his own tumblr. I will have to update my tags to denote what’s what outside of canon, and perhaps create a canon tag? 

Once he’s figured out how he wants to tag/go about his verses, I’ll come up with something to match for easier tracking.

Anyway, that’s about it. Things are great, don’t worry. He’s totally awesome. I know all about the things that happened in the past and he’s moved on and become better about them. If you have any other concerns, anon (or anyone else), please come to me directly, either by ask OFF ANON or DM. My blog is really not the place to deal with drama, I only answered this so that I could explain what’s going on with his blog - he’ll be getting around to making a post about it soon, he’s told me, but said it was okay to shed light on it for now.

Telstra Corp Ltd Analysis & Company Information - GlobalData

In December 2020, Communications Minister Paul Fletcher officially pronounced the National Broadband Network (NBN) "fabricated and completely functional". What's more, it was proposed in an Australian Financial Review (AFR) interview that an obtaining by another telco, conceivably "Telstra Corp market analysis", was not off the table as the mode to privatization, a U-abandon past remarks made in 2019. As bits of hearsay flourish about a likely offer of NBN Co to Telstra, no mystery Telstra's CEO Andy Penn had long held plans on NBN Co. Nonetheless, Australian regulation keeps vertical incorporated telcos from claiming NBN, which was the thing Fletcher had been implying when he had excused such a suggestion."As such, someone who conveys retail media communications administrations can't claim NBN. That is prepared into the regulation," he said. Could Telstra at any point avoid NBN regulation?Apparently there might be a legitimate workaround this limit and Telstra is doing precisely only that through a rebuilding that will see its business parted into four organizations to be held by a holding organization - InfraCo Fixed to possess latent foundation, InfraCo Mobile to claim the versatile pinnacle resources, ServeCo to take the retail arm and one more element for its worldwide business. The substance probably going to gain NBN Co was distinguished as InfraCo Fixed. Nonetheless, it was accounted for by AFR that Penn had conceded in a meeting that Telstra needed to go further to be permitted to purchase NBN Co. Telstra's rivals were expectedly exasperated by Penn's remark, particularly Optus. A feeling of disloyalty is normal in the event that such an arrangement was permitted to go through. NBN Co was initially framed to break the upward imposing business model that was made when Telstra was privatized in 1997, leaving different players hazardously subject to Telstra to offer fixed line administrations. In 2011, both Telstra and Optus consented to an arrangement to separately move responsibility for great piece of their organizations to NBN Co for AU$11 billion and AU$800 million. For all that to fall under the control of Telstra would leave Optus perilously burdened. TPG Telecom, presently converged with Vodafone Hutchinson Australia (VHA), would be the main serious opponent to Telstra, never being important for that arrangement with NBN and having clutched its own cross country fixed network, which it amassed throughout the long term through the acquisitions of different ISPs including iiNet, Chariot and AAPT.As different proprietorship models are being considered for NBN, there are better choices out there to a securing by Telstra, which wouldn't think twice about open access model and keep up with the fair serious climate it was expected to make. The Singapore approach - business trustSingapore's Next Generation National Broadband Network (NGNBN), embraced a comparative division model where the dynamic framework was intended to be isolated from the detached foundation. The element, initially named OpenNet, was then offered to Singtel completely possessed auxiliary NetLink Trust, yet was sent by rival telco StarHub through an auxiliary Nucleus Connect. An IPO was chosen as the method of privatization and a perplexing three-layered trust structure was created to guarantee that no predominant telecom administrator could assume command over the organization. Netlink Trust would be held by Netlink NBN Trust, and the legal administrator supervisor of Netlink NBN Trust would be held by Singapore NBN Trust of which the deedholder is Singapore's biggest bank, DBS.After Singtel pared down its stake in Netlink NBN Trust to beneath 25% following an IPO in 2017 because of administrative necessities, this implied that following 2017, there is no prevailing investor in Singapore NBN trust. For NBN to arrive at a comparative end-state, NBN would should be an alluring resource for cost well in the IPO market. NBN Co might should be cut out into an "metropolitan" NBN Co, comprising of the more productive major metropolitan regions and fiber spines for privatization, and a "provincial" NBN Co, which might need to be held by the public authority for social reasons. Typically, country broadband inclusion is upheld by a widespread help commitment expense demanded on all telecom organizations. This would be like or expect alterations to the Regional Broadband Scheme which was carried out just January 2021. Dissimilar to Singapore, which has the monetary heave of its sovereign abundance reserve Temasek and it portfolio organization Singtel to mediate, shields should be set up with the goal that a threatening takeover probably won't be an issue for the freely recorded NBN Co. The New Zealand approach - cut out to non-telco playersNew Zealand, which faces comparative geological difficulties however has had an exceptionally effective execution of their public broadband organization, got going with two separate projects, the Ultrafast broadband (UFB) Initiative and the Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI), the two of which are overseen by Crown Fiber Holdings (CFH), an element laid out by the public authority. Telecom NZ, the New Zealand partner to Telstra, had to go through a demerger into Spark, which would claim the tasks, and Chorus, which would acquire the latent framework, as a precondition for support in the UFB sending projects. Chorale would in this manner become the foundation organization to plan and construct the fiber organization. Be that as it may, three other Local Fiber Companies (LFC) were likewise chosen to frame joint endeavors with CFH for sending of UFB across different areas; two of which - Northpower and WNL - come from power organizations, while the third was an ISP laid out by Christchurch City Council's venture arm. Under the business model utilized in the joint endeavor, the CFH joint endeavor begins as 100 percent CFH claimed, however the business accomplice's portion in the endeavor increments as business take-up continues, ultimately privatizing the element naturally and totally. This component implied that the UFB brought about a serious climate with four confidential area players, yet with local syndications. Rejecting NBN regulation would inconvenience more modest playersTo accomplish a comparable end express, Telstra's rebuilding should go further to cut out InfraCo Fixed into a different fiberco that gives just discount access and that Telstra doesn't have command over. In the mean time, NBN Co ought to be distributed segments, with fibercos, for example, the completely stripped InfraCo Fixed, and non-telco players, for example, service organizations and confidential value firms permitted to take part, with the precondition of not having a retail telco business in Australia. Another less difficult and less tangled privatization approach is scrap the regulation banishing upward incorporated telcos from taking responsibility for and to have each of the three significant telcos bring non-controlling stakes into NBN. Such is the situation with the making of China Tower from China three significant occupant telcos in 2014. Notwithstanding, this may then weakness more modest players, for example, Superloop, Aussie Broadband, MacTel, and possible future contestants.Join Free Demo Secession Now

Innovation revolutionary: Diversity and inclusion at the point of care

VA’s Office of Resolution Management, Diversity and Inclusion (ORMDI) focuses on ensuring Veterans feel seen and heard, ensuring VA meets people where they are. Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) can be uncomfortable for staff to navigate without a guide or additional resources. Pamela Black, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) manager at Orlando VA, had an idea to change that. A history of compassion Black is an Air Force Veteran. She learned about camaraderie and diversity in the military. That isn’t something she had experienced in her hometown of Memphis. Raised by her grandparents and single mom, she developed a passion for helping others, particularly the marginalized and underserved. Pamela Black Black began as an EEO assistant at the Department of Defense (DoD) before applying for other EEO roles at VA. Because she wasn’t yet qualified for the positions, she left her 15-year career with DoD to join VA as an EEO intern at the West Palm Beach VA. After being promoted to EEO manager at the Orlando VA in 2020, Black began questioning her capacity. “Am I really doing a service to these people on my own? I can’t be everywhere at once, but I can equip others to serve.” Diversity and Inclusion advocacy Needing support to grow D&I advocacy, Black applied to the VHA Shark Tank Competition. At the same time, VA Secretary McDonough and his team were looking for D&I projects to grow. Getting support from her facility’s innovation program, the VA Diversity & Inclusion Advocate Program (VADIAP) went live in January 2021. VADIAP trains staff to be D&I advocates, supporting VA employees and Veterans alike. Creating a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (I-DEA) and building a strong VA-wide Special Emphasis Program are just some of these advocates’ responsibilities. Supervisors nominate one or more employees to serve as a service-level Advocate. The nominated Advocate is trained by EEO staff, Special Emphasis program managers, and other VHA stakeholders. Black is looking for people who are just as passionate and active about the work as she is. Supporting Veterans After three DoD Civilian tours in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Black says her service has drawn her closer to the work she does. “As a civilian, the empathy and compassion it takes to serve Veterans helps me and shapes my work because I know what they’ve gone through.” A Veteran with a hearing impairment felt he was not being heard or treated fairly because he talked loudly. Black drew upon her compassion to better understand. She was able to advocate for the Veteran and educate other staff on how to better serve Veterans in similar situations. Get involved in innovation “Learning about people and the importance of taking the time to get to know them, that’s what advocacy is all about,” said Black. She has already seen a positive culture shift through open I-DEA discussions. If you are interested in learning more or adopting this program in your local VA, head to the Diffusion Marketplace site for VADIAP. Want to support VHA IE’s innovation revolution? Visit our website (https://www.va.gov/innovationecosystem/) to learn about opportunities to become involved in innovation at VA. Innovation Revolutionary is a recurring series from the VA Innovation Ecosystem. It focuses on VA employees who are disrupting the status-quo, breaking down barriers, and attempting to radically revolutionize Veteran care and the employee experience. https://ift.tt/gRnhiMH https://ift.tt/u4zvED5
