Fighting the battle between good and evil isn't easy, especially when the first monster you have to face is the one inside yourself.

You know those aesthetic image posts that float around tumblr? I'm . . . starting to see a lot on my dash that are obviously ai-generated. Are non-artists having trouble telling the difference between AI images and real photos, or are people starting to stop care about the stolen art that gets fed into those programs?

Fellow Brits get your IDs in order because the next local elections are in May 2023 and the next General Election could be anytime from now (it must be by Jan 2025) but will likely be sometime in 2024: 

https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/local-elections-england-may-2023 

https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/voter-id/accepted-forms-photo-id

As you can see, a passport or a driving license are the gold standard IDs for young people (yes they really have excluded your photo ID travel passes and student cards),

Costs and details to renew/ obtain these:

https://www.gov.uk/passport-fees

However the electoral commission link above says that “You can still use your photo ID if it's out of date, as long as it looks like you.The name on your ID should be the same name you used to register to vote.” 

Don’t let them take away your voice (which is your vote)!

Reminder: If you have no voter ID, apply for a postal vote.

While we like to joke about Izzy being in the wrong genre, I would argue that there are in fact at least five distinct genre universes in the world of Our Flag Means Death, and all of them have different rules.

Stede Bonnet, and his crew when they’re around him, live in a Muppet movie. I didn’t come up with this analogy but it’s so accurate. Insane physical comedy and comedy-action where no one really gets hurt. Mild peril but you know everything is gonna work out. Terrible puns and sight gags, but room for sweet, genuine emotional moments too. The rules of time, space, probability and logic will bend for a good joke.

Izzy Hands is in a grimdark action/drama where if someone gets stabbed in the gut they will behave normally and fucking die. (Probably slowly and painfully, of sepsis.) Crucially I think Izzy also lives in a genre where you can only be subtextually queer, and violence (done for or with or to each other) is the only acceptable form of intimacy between men. This is why being forcibly dragged into Stede’s world, where everyone is busy having silly low-stakes misadventures and being gay and emotionally available all over the main text–and seeing his Subtextual Boyfriend go into this world and love it–sends him round the twist.

The British, Spanish and other imperialist militaries are in a Master and Commander-style naval adventure where they’re the heroes. This is why they all take it completely seriously when Stede (unintentionally) kills Badminton and takes hostages, even though we can see that he bumbled his way into it ass-backwards. This is also why Stede is so shocked to get actually for real stabbed aboard the Spanish ship. (“Did you mean to do that?”) He didn’t realize until that moment that he’d stepped into a different genre. The stabbing is one of the first Surprise Genre Switch moments we get and in retrospect it’s very important for setting up that in this world, the threat of getting hurt or killed is very real–which we need to understand to know that there are real stakes much later, when Stede almost gets executed by the British.
