It’s a lot easier to admit to being wrong (and changing your mind) if you have sense of humility all along. When are you are arsehole about being right it is very hard to admit you were wrong. So let’s start with everyone just being a bit more humble?

Today’s screenshots involve fireworks. Two of these shots are from a story that involves a fireworks show. One involves a character who launches fireworks as a skill.

OK, time for a serious plea to everyone who "just wants to learn."

I don't care if we're talking about racism, ableism, queerphobia, or whatever else. Your intention to learn is fine, that's a good start, please don't give up on trying to learn.

But lesson number one? HOW you learn really, really fucking matters.

Do not come into conversations among racialized communities and poke for answers. Do not enter disabled or queer spaces and start taking notes. Do not presume upon the time or energy of people just because you really want to learn from them.

If someone is not overtly and clearly offering to educate, do not ask them to teach. This also applies to people who DO willingly educate but may also, y'know, deserve an occasional break from being teachers.

Oppressed folx got enough shit to carry already, and y'all wandering in and acting like straight-up stalking us is a "healthy way to learn" are not helping anything.

Keep your desire to learn intact. Like I said, it's a good thing. Just aim it in the appropriate directions, for fuck's sake.

In the south of Burkina Faso lies a small village called Tiébélé. It's home to the Kassena people; one of the oldest ethnic groups that settled in the region in the 15th century.

Tiébélé is known for their amazing traditional Gurunsi architecture and elaborately decorated walls of their homes.

Dating back to the 16th century, wall decorating has always been a community project done by the women.

I’ve posted a number of screenshots from because it’s a beautiful game. But I’m going all-text in this post, because it’s not just a visually stunning game, but also features some excellent and moving stories.

Early this morning I completed a quest that started out as observation of a child who seemed to be playing with an invisible friend, and ended up focusing on a man wracked with overwhelming guilt and feelings of worthlessness, trapped by a lie he couldn’t let go.

I'm trying to avoid spoiling anything, but he did find some relief, and the story ended with a beautifully-animated reminiscence by a character who isn't what they seem to be.

My middle-school daughter has her favorite stories, one of which involves a character who survives childhood trauma but struggles to see herself as a person worth valuing many years later. That one closes with a Chinese opera, again beautifully animated.

Okay, maybe just *one* screenshot, from the closing poem of reminiscence.

It’s an old tune, but new verses are added regularly: cable monopolists behave badly, and cost us all money.

pluralistic.net/2022/12/15/use

In this verse, @pluralistic (aka Cory @doctorow) spells out “how cable monopolists tricked conservatives into shooting themselves in the face.”
