@poiseunderchaos Prose is the only art that (as it currently stands) demands you ruthlessly eschew almost every tool in its artistic tool box: when I hear "clean clear limpid prose," I reach for my paintbrush.

@poiseunderchaos Oh, but there are so many labels to choose from. http://www.longstoryshortpier.com/2018/02/17/novelette

The yarn is a social construct
"But the present war, as Joyce found out, is not of a kind to be ignored, and I think it must have left him reflecting that a political choice is necessary and that even stupidity is better than totalitarianism."

I cannot stress enough how important it is to understand that Apple, Google, or Amazon can simply _decide_ to remove access to anything you've "purchased", including many physical goods (if they are internet-connected and running proprietary software), and you have absolutely no recourse.
You poor take courage
You rich take care
"Had a delightful time scream-singing this with the rest of my queerplatonic polycule farmstead co-op, which I have to assume is the intended use case."

This April, the Iowa Department of Corrections issued a ban on charities, family members, and other outside parties donating books to prisoners. Under the state’s new guidelines, incarcerated people can get books only from a handful of “approved vendors.” Used books are prohibited altogether, and any new reading material is subject to a laundry list of restrictions.
The policy is harsh, but far from unique. In fact, it’s only the latest in a wave of similar bans.
