@biancotitanio In the sense that "Evil turns upon itself", yes.

If only we could all put them into the same room where they could not bother the rest of us - they'd constantly fight each other until none were left.

We'll start answering questions at 3pm EDT, but you can ask now

21/5: Format as you write or at the end?

Mostly as I write - all my texts become part of a big document which I regularly update and compile in PDF and EPUB versions.

The actual books still need some adjustments to their layout to make them fit for print, of course. But by that stage, most of the work is already done.

Weltweit gilt die deutsche als Vorbild: Zahlreiche Länder in Europa, Südamerika und Asien orientierten sich für ihre Verfassungen am Grundgesetz.

Related aside: really need to do something about this framing that fascist politicians are hiding something from potential voters; that's literally the opposite of the purpose of a fascist dogwhistle. I know it's really hard for folks to accept that their neighbors and coworkers are CHOOSING fascism and not just collosal rubes, but at some point you just need to cowgirl up and deal with reality. These are not accidental fascists, just because they won't SAY it doesn't mean they haven't chosen

juergen_hubert,
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe avatar

@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah, they have been really blatant about what they want to do.

I mean, one of the most prominent leaders of the German fascist party AfD talked very clearly about wanting to do a few rounds of ethnic cleansing on Germany, and both his party and his voters stand with him.

Fascists are never subtle about what they are about, and in fact revel in what they can get away with saying.

The worst part of working at home is that there's no aircon and my house is insanely warm as soon as the sun rises. Having to sit here by my desk and be ready to look professional at a moment's notice when someone videocalls me is quite difficult in 31 degrees celsius.

: One night, a group of merfolk shed their seal skins to play on the shore. A Shetlander found a skin and a beautiful mermaid lamenting its loss. He refused to return it, offering marriage instead. They lived together for years and had children. One day, a child found the hidden skin. The mermaid bid her children goodbye, returned to the sea, and left the human world forever. She confessed to her second husband, who stood miserably on the shore: “I always loved my first husband best.”

Back in the 1990s, I participated in the German student protests against fees - and I am glad that we could make it stick.

In my view, education is public infrastructure just as roads are. Making its cost prohibitively expensive can only harm a nation.

The world is now seeing how we are manipulated to see what they want us to see. Who THEY decide are the “enemy” and who isn’t. When most of the world is watching, and not agreeing, they highlight themselves.

"Es ist sowieso egal, was wir in Deutschland zum Klimaschutz machen!" ist eine dreiste Lüge der Verweigerer.

Deutschland hat schon einmal einen extrem kritischen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz geleistet. Und wie könnten es wieder tun.

FYI, there's a new Kickstarter for an India-based / setting.

I'm always interested in increasing representation in spaces, and I am curious what the author will come up with.

"Magic-users are unwelcome in any village or meadhall. Feared by the superstitious peasants, mistrusted by warriors. Only the power of the lord they serve will protect them, but for sorcerers even that may not be enough."

Magic as something genuinely uncanny and dangerous is too rare in fantasy games, most of which follow D&D's lead of wizards being power fantasies and spells being items on a shopping list. Again, Wulfwald builds tension and conflict into the setting itself. I'm very much liking what I've read so far.

@BigJackBrass I dunno, I'd say is a pretty prominent fantasy , and mages are not exactly popular there.
