Re: Venting thread

One of the side pieces on my glasses broke off and now I have bare metal digging into my temple. Not sure what I should do since these glasses are only several months old. It seems absurd and impractical to get another eye exam and new glasses so soon. My local eyeglass place defaults to giving you...

Re: Twin Aster

I would like to redo the Tim Ar caste system; the way I had it it seems like it was too bloated. So there will now be sort of three levels: méri 'race/ethnicity/tribe', akrár 'varna/caste', and këmêm 'jati/clan'. Émri - Hia – Those of PTO heritage - Kán – The Caber, especially that contingent of eth...

I absolutely love how it looks in both modes.

As for myself, I've been working on the Akana relay and I am quite pleased with how the language is turning out.

This is NSFW. If this is too NSFW for the board, mods, feel free to remove this, but I feel I have to get it out somewhere , and telling my parents is a non-starter. (Telling my therapist is also likely a non-starter until we switch back to in-person sessions because I am afraid the walls here have ...

My first thought on reading that was "What, they've invented transporters now? Why didn't anyone tell me?" You seem to be very much into SF... I wouldn't even have com up with that interpretation; for me, the archetypical Transporter is this this kind of van . That’s ( Star Trek is) the i...

Re: Venting thread

One or the other leg of my flight home has been delayed four times. This includes two gate changes, one of which involved walking about the entire length of the airport to get to a completely different concourse. I am still on the ground. It says “Boarding in 4 min”; we’d better this time.
