Squire-chan's mood in rainy day.

I just saw a person on this site complain about finding it hard to concealed-carry a gun in cute girl clothes.

My first thought was... "Man, the US seems like a frightening place to exist if people like that want to be armed." (Which is a stereotype after giving it a moment of thought, there are concealed-carry gun weirdos in other countries, I'm sure)

My second thought was "Wait, but it's literally not, have you not heard of a purse?"

learning that apparently several hundred people have been pronouncing 'miette' as 'mighty' has actively worsened my day

#I've been pronouncing it “Mi-et-ee” because I somehow didn't get that it was french and thought it was russian or something #This is way less wrong than Mighty though #Though a little embarrassing since I am supposed to be able to read french

#Like the thing about this complaint is that men don't really get to use bags #Like the only male-appropriate bags are like... a suitcase if you look like a businessman #A backpack if you are a student or in the wilderness #Or a bookbag if you are counterculture #And like two of those make you look like a child #It's not ideal

Today, Eric Flint passed away.

I know I’m probably one of the only people on this whole site who really cares about that, but goddamn does this break my heart.

For those who aren’t aware, Flint was famous for being one of the best writers in the entire alternate history genre. His best work is the incredibly long-running (and genuinely well-written) Ring of Fire series, which chronicles the tale of Grantville, a West Virginian coal mining town which is magically transported back in time from the year 2000 to 1631 Thuringia during the Thirty Year’s War.

Flint was a genuinely fantastic writer, and not just among the (admittedly low) standards of the alternate history genre. Flint showed that alternate history stories didn’t have to be boring glorified textbooks full of unlikable characters constantly based around Nazis winning WWII or other tripe; he reminded us just how *vast* history truly could be, how storied, fantastical, and just plain fun it could be to explore, how you could included actually likable and interesting characters, how you can write genuinely interesting love stories, and have characters let their hair down and banter in a sci-fi setting.

Flint was the kind of guy to ask “What if the Serene Republic of Venice got access to magic and become an expansionist empire?”, “What if hyper-advanced A.I.s traveled back in time to the Byzantine Empire and tried to re-write history in the name of either fascism or democracy?” or even “What if the Cherokee and lots of freedmen formed their own republic in Arkansas after the War of 1812?” Flint was a writer who helped uplift and support other authors, had helped save the works of authors who have been out of print for decades, and pretty much single-handedly revolutionized how modern authors do electronic publishing.

Eric Flint was a writer who reminded the alternate history and sci-fi genres that your stories can be actual stories and not just bland explorations of potentially interesting ideas.

Eric Flint passed away today, and the world is all the poorer for it.
