todays jam is this song by lightning bolt, provided by me anxiously setting up a linux install on my laptop
(loud volume warning as it is noise rock)
https://lightningbolt.bandcamp.com/track/s-o-s
from the album Earthly Delights
One of the most influential rap songs of all time (Ether) contained a homophobic slur. Nas took a lot of criticism for this decades later. So he now performs the song without the slur👍🏿
Lizzo released a track with an ableist slur. She took heat for this on Twitter too. She apologized, and re-cut the song without the slur👍🏿
Conversations about what a person said, are valid.
You don't get "cancelled" for mis-speaking. It's the doubling down.
*edit: Nas didn't re-release. There's a clean version.
tonights music is this king gizz song that i forgot to listen to when it came out
Caves of Qud Moon Stair update is out! I haven't played it yet but I've been following it for a bit. There's a lot of content including, "...the last late-game region, a new leg in the main quest, new UI, all new sounds, and more"

one good thing about my fortress is that theres a lot of crafters, meaning that we have a lot of things to trade. the bad thing is that we have barely any haulers or constructors so shit gets left at workshops until traders come and they go "oh shit" and frantically run across the room grabbing shit to put in the depot.
this is even funnier with the fact that the fortress is still at 20~ people on its first year, normally we would be at fifty at this point from my experience, but i guess a fortress called "Murderedsack" isnt very appealing

yeah, it's a lot of material, and there won't be a time when you can sit back and say 'okay I've learned it, all done.' no one said anti-racism would be easy. but you know what the alternative is? being part of the problem. 🙃
the cutest thing ever just happened: my master metalcrafter was feeling down (they havent metalcrafted in a while) so when i finally got things organised, i made them craft 4 anvils for the other blacksmiths and armorers. at the same time a baby was born so i also had them make a little metal toy for them. and what did they choose for a toy? a tiny forge for them :)
after that my metalcrafter was feeling much better, its as if they went "yes four anvils for the Big Dwarves and one little one for the youngin'"
i love this game
