I know that’s a wolf under that sheep’s clothing. But we’re having a lovely conversation. - Rowan Rabe This one's a real post. Apologies in case anybody has been getting spammed with shitposts. I'm automating crossposting and there's more debugging (and testing, hence the posts) than anybody ever expec...

An utopia defined by free real estate - Rowan Rabe (I'm not posting the Tim and Eric meme.) Once a church stood here. But I've deconstructed it, scavenged it for my own use, pick the island clean of resources, and even used it as a dump for my volcanic ash and beach sand seriously I can only make so much glass waste, and not a

Could be published today - Rowan Rabe NOTE: This was originally my preamble to my review of The Algebraist, but it went off the rails enough to be in blog territory. My patience for reading things that start a bit of a slog but pay off ‘i...

"I have yet to see a category of person who supports ICE: a person who thinks that what is being done is necessary, but dislikes how much pain it causes. I have seen nobody with the surgeon's sobriety at inflicting 'necessary' pain. All I see is glee that pain is being inflicted." #fuckICE #fuckmaga

Habits of tyranny - Rowan Rabe (Note: I wrote the bulk of this a month ago, when the murder of Alex Pretti was still fresh news. It's been years since a month ago.) I'm not very disciplined even in whatever self-imposed ad-hoc ethical system I've imposed upon myself. I believe--intellectually--that good and evil are things that you do, not things that

Science camp comic original: (rowanrabe.ink/the-dragging...) I did chase after her and suggest we find a better way to attach #Labubu to her bag. She did not know why I was cringing. I noted it to mom at pickup and mom just looked done.

Scholarly pursuits - Rowan Rabe Been a bit dead around here of late. I do have a science camp comic on the backburner that involves Labubu(s). I don't know what the proper plural is and I'm sure if I asked the kids I have this afternoon their opinion they'd go with the English-speaker's tendency to pluralize with 's' if uncertain.

Auditory Madeleines: part whatever - Rowan Rabe I'm becoming convinced there are certain songs I need to relegate to a certain period in my life. Or--only listen to them when I want to recall a certain period. I have heard The Eagles multiple times since childhood and the reaction I had in Okawachiyama was exceptionally strong given the contrast between rural Kyushu

Possesses power - Rowan Rabe Christmas at the childhood home, which means a lot of lazing about. I catch that Hobbit-like tendency to generally overindulge, in food and in indolence. This also takes the form of not checking the n...

Through a lens familiarly - Rowan Rabe A continuation, I reckon, of a re-read of Stephen Fry's Greek myths, certainly not because Hades II had a recent full release or anything so puerile as that, though this time I'm all the way at the Od...
