Trivium: Provincium originally just meant an assignment. The “Province of Africa” accordingly would be the assignment to administrate the colony Africa.

And weighty javelins to fuck up the other side’s shields

…and they were roommates!

As a thin veil of excuse, the DCRI incident involved what they considered military secrets rather than defamation charges. Still dumb to do that extrajudicially, of course.

The article on the lawsuit is blocked, which is standard procedure for participants of an ongoing lawsuit: Talk to your lawyer about it, and nobody else, because anything you say without your lawyer’s counsel might jeopardise your legal position. Even if it’s just people editing that article, the foundation will want to protect itself until the matter is settled.

Don’t forget that non-profits, too, are beholden to laws. If they want to continue offering their services in India, they don’t really want to be charged for contempt on top of the other case.

Bloody hell, from making a joke to actual advice. Sleep quality might be the issue, because I’ve tried various sleep lengths, no caffeine, no hectic stimulation or all the other advice you’ll read online. I’ll have that checked out. Thanks for the tip!

I mean, if it’s a one-off thing, sure, but I’ll suddenly spent an hour of my afternoon fighting off mini-naps at work

Don’t worry. If he gets to power, he’ll take care of that.

I love þat you’re trying to bring ðe þ and ð (back) into English.

Only the pink-haired ones, the feminists, trans-women, those with terminally complicated pregnancies, the victims of abusive husbands beating them to death, those seeking medical treatment they can’t afford…

So long as you’re healthy or wealthy, submissive and breedable, mindful and demure and all the other misogynistic ideas we make fun of because they shouldn’t be real and serious, you’ll be fine.

Literally 1933

I never thought they’d eat my face

I browse all a lot to look for interesting new communities. Every now and then I come across a new community from ani.social, the NSFW instance or something, and on Voyager I can’t seem to block entire instances. I also don’t know if there’s a way to filter only the communities without blocking the users too, but as it stands, I may have to look for another app to block the instances entirely.
