Brian: I once quoted a vine in front of John.

Brian: no one will ever believe him, and now he lives in fear of my supposed knowledge of the internet.

Brian: it's delightful.

Hey! There's a few more days to get in on my little Booksprout review campaign for Love, Lies, and Cryptids.

This link should work through the 13th. 😊😊😊

--

One minute, Nico Juárez is enjoying the stability of their job as senior editor at Unified Theory Press, a publishing house specializing in books about the paranormal. The next minute, they're stuck with a terrible new boss and a clueless (yet uncomfortably cute) new assistant. Jasper Milton just wanted healthcare and to keep his sexy side-hustle a secret. Now he's faced with an adorable, yet prickly, supervisor and a company thrown into chaos. Nico and Jasper must team up to stay sane. Hopefully, they won't fall in love—or be squashed by Bigfoot—in the process.

Okaaay...

Seems some of you thought my antics were a bit attractive. I did not foresee a wrathful Warden thirst becoming a thing. I am in a committed relationship.

But that's negotiable

The Supreme Court has upheld a federal law designed to keep Native American children connected to Native American families in custody and adoption proceedings. 

A 7-2 majority of justices rejected challenges to the Indian Child Welfare Act from several states and White families who were seeking to permanently adopt Native children. They had argued they are being discriminated against and disadvantaged, in violation of equal protection guarantees in the Constitution.

"They argue that it exceeds federal authority, infringes state sovereignty, and discriminates on the basis of race," Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the court's opinion for the case of Haaland v. Brackeen. "The United States, joined by several Indian Tribes, defends the law. The issues are complicated… .But the bottom line is that we reject all of petitioners’ challenges to the statute, some on the merits and others for lack of standing."

The dispute is a clash of tribal sovereignty, states' rights and racial discrimination claims.

At issue is whether the high court should toss out or severely dismantle the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, meant to protect Native American rights in state child custody proceedings. It has long been championed by tribal leaders as a means of preserving their families and culture. 

The case dealt with aspects of a unique relationship between Native tribes and the federal government, and the ability of state courts to broadly determine the discretionary "best interests" of children in placement hearings.

Among those challenging the law were Jennifer and Chad Brackeen of Fort Worth, Texas, who had first fostered, then adopted, a son known in court papers as A.L.M., beginning in 2016, after his mother, a member of the Navajo Nation was unable to care for him. The tribe sought to place the boy with other out-of-state tribal members not related to him. 

The Brackeens eventually won custody of A.L.M but now would like to adopt the child's half-sister, identified in state proceedings as Y.R.J.

"It's been three-and-a-half years in court, and we have not been able to finalize the adoption," Chad Brackeen told Fox News Digital. "Ultimately, these two siblings belong together."

But the more than three-fourths of the 574 federally-recognized American tribes told the Supreme Court in various amicus briefs the law has been on the books for 44 years and is working.

"The precedent of the Supreme Court is that Indian tribes are political groups of people, they are not racial groups of people," said Chrissi Ross Nimmo, the deputy attorney general of Cherokee Nation. "Tribes determine citizenship... just like countries." 

Many tribes warn of a broader loss of political sovereignty if the ICWA is struck down or weakened, over such matters as health care, education and housing, which are all covered under specific federal laws. 

Texas, along with Indiana and Louisiana, have also challenged the federal law, saying it oversteps authority over state child custody matters.

I Love Piglins

I wrote a story about them, even. It’s on this blog, or AO3. It’s called Starchart.

It’s partly an aspect of my being a big fan of Technoblade, may god hesitate, but my fursona has been a pig since like 2003 when he was an actual baby. Before minecraft existed, let along piglins.

Anyway I play on a server with some light rp aspects and I decided that my character would just be “piglin” and I’d make my little kingdom in the nether. Pigllins are great, they’re weird, they have weird AI. Living ones, dead ones, all the piglins are great and they make great neighbors as long as you make some nice shiny boots and can be chill.

I’ve been making sad emojis in the chat, and talking about how cool they are, and treating them like little people, and now everyone on the server wears gold in the nether and at least feels bad about gold farms.

One of the admins even made a custom datapack that allows us to vaccinate piglins so they can come hang out in the overworld. Piglins cannot swim, by the way. They sink. Straight to the bottom. Tragic.

There is also a baby zombie piglin running a flower shop in our shopping district.

May I present, Dr Frasier:

He got the gardening gloves, He runs the flower shop.

He doin’ the flower arrangements. He’s the vase

#minecraft #zombie piglin #zombified piglin #piglin #he has the doctorate in botoany #or so I'm told #the server is called Bagnides #it's pretty cool

There is good news though, the game has mod support, as well as mods to make the game significantly easier, and to be fair, I don't think many people mind if you go to the wiki to read the lore, considering that beyond the quests itself, it is an ordeal and a half to get it.

That's good then. Good to know the community isn't very "just get good" when it comes to the difficulty. Fuck knows some communities hate you actually being able to play the game for some reason
