So for anyone who reads this who doesn't know anything about Twitch, I strongly advise you NOT to just go browsing on Twitch, but only to follow recommendations from people you trust, for particular Twitch sites/streamers to follow. Sadly, a lot of the gaming community is full of toxic people who make a lot of sexist, racist, and other exclusionary attacks on people who don't fit their preferred categories. But there are some good communities out there with good moderation and with a culture of respect for each other; you just have to know where to find them.TrishEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298314202870039396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008588175643826594.post-53448243029203530052020-08-16T17:33:25.863-04:002020-08-16T17:33:25.863-04:00This continues to be an EXCELLENT comparison betwe...This continues to be an EXCELLENT comparison between movies, only one of which deserved 11 Oscars!Sarah Elkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818205627613900275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008588175643826594.post-67247116214875553472020-07-14T02:57:00.833-04:002020-07-14T02:57:00.833-04:00I always thought compale was a real word... oops. ...I always thought compale was a real word... oops.

I was working on a song a few years ago and when I revisited it in my file folder today I saw two indecisive lines typed "it sadly compales in the sight of you." And "it sadly pales in comparison to you." <br />I then decided to search this word "compales" to see if it could even be used in the way I was attempting to use it and Compale (a portmanteau) came up on What's the Word Now?. I'm all for this portmanteau and it is exactly how I planned to use it. <br />So good luck and even though I am not a famous song writer or even well established for that matter I believe I will keep this line as "it sadly compales in the sight of you." as in an act of good faith towards your effort.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174855702005692418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008588175643826594.post-19134942413918673562014-09-28T07:10:38.544-04:002014-09-28T07:10:38.544-04:00Further exploring what speculative fiction is, I&#...Further exploring what speculative fiction is, I'm reposting some of my comments from the Escape Pod forum:<br /><br />It's true that the poem says IF this speculative thing were so, rather than IT IS, and it's true that Selkie Stories' protagonist never actually saw her mom change into a seal and swim away, so technically she could just be constructing an illusory worldview that lets her transform the inexplicability of loss and heartache into the inexplicability of magic. However, isn't the element of uncertainty integral to speculative fiction? Maybe even the uncertainty of our definitions, and where we draw the lines? So, even if a protagonist KNOWS that she's just building castles in the air, I'm enchanted to be invited to lend a figurative hand with my suspension of disbelief, especially when the writing is beautiful and/or the character is well drawn. <br /><br />What's the opposite of speculative -- mundane? As far as I'm concerned, these two stories are not the least bit mundane, in either sense of the word -- neither too worldly and un-speculative for inclusion here, nor too dull or lacking in interest and excitement. The conflicts may be internal, and the speculative elements may be primarily in the characters' heads, but in my opinion, that makes them no less worthy of our attention and discussion.TrishEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298314202870039396noreply@blogger.com
