I firmly believe that all 14 year olds should surreptitiously be given Pratchett by someone that isn't a parent.

Especially if they live in a household where they have to hide it because it contains witches.

They are books that teach you how to think, even in the face of extreme authority.

This is my story. I would be a much worse person without having Pratchett books in my life.

Here's a thought experiment for you:

Imagine a dragon. Is it scaled? Furred? How many limbs does it have? Can it fly?

Now, uhh... Actually that's all. I just wanted you to think about dragons. I hope you enjoyed it.

People say you shouldn't compare apples and oranges but it seems to work fine for me in Python 3.14, I don't see what the issue is...

Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

I think a lot about accounts of older "therians" who do not use or know that term. I think about this story from Tumblr. https://www.tumblr.com/questions-within-questions/770568290019999744/being-a-ranger-i-spend-a-lot-of-time-alone-in-the

Somebody linked me RFC 7565, which linked to RFC7564, and if that's the place to look this appears to be the list of disallowed characters in a Fediverse username, and I'm cracking up because it's *mostly* stuff you'd expect, except the very first category of banned characters, specially, is "pre-1700 Korean characters".

The fediverse is welcome to all. EXCEPT KOREAN TIME TRAVELERS. Did you just wake up from being frozen in ice during the Joseon dynasty? The IETF is targeting you PERSONALLY
