- Reposted by Naomi Libickione of the things I like best in fiction is simply when characters the readers like are allowed to dislike each other and do not ever have to learn better about it. all of my fictional friends do not have to be friends. in fact sometimes it is better when they are enemies, for petty reasons

- Reposted by Naomi Libickiilthit.neocities.org/thebrewsystem So I wrote a TTRPG game engine. Not playtested at all, but I'm pushing it out! Should you by any chance want another TTRPG game engine.
- I finished reading The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum: The Rise and Fall of an American Organized-Crime Boss by Margalit Fox. Before I read this book, I had never heard of Fredericka Mandelbaum. Having read the book, I still don't know as much about Fredericka Mandelbaum as I would like... (thread)
- a sentiment I think I share with the author, who seems frustrated with the relative lack of sources on her life, despite how famous she was in her day.
- While the subject of the biography remains fascinating but elusive, the book is happy to take long tangents into the history of crime, the public perception of crime, and the criminal justice system, and how much all of these things changed throughout Mrs. Mandelbaum's career...
- as well as detailing other lives that intersected with hers. It was entertaining and educational, so I can't really complain.

- I substituted canola oil for butter for the purposes of making them dairy-free and substituted coffee liqueur for the vanilla and added more salt for the purposes of making them tastier; I think all of the substitutions came out well
- I've been meaning to read Witch Hat Atelier for a while now, and I finally got volume one and read it on Shabbat. The art is beautiful. The story is cute. Spoilers in the rest of the thread.
- I am not sure what to make of the fact that the nasty roommate is apparently the only dark-haired person in the atelier. I am judging the teacher very hard for a) leaving said nasty roommate in charge
- b) not having said nasty roommate face any consequences for sending the heroine on a dangerous mission which he did not want her to go on in a deliberate attempt to sabotage her and c) apparently never considering "hmmm maybe I shouldn't have left the nasty roommate in charge."
- In a different school story this might have been explained by the schoolgirls conspiring to shield the perpetrator out of a sense of schoolgirl honor, but no! All the facts were easily accessible by Qifrey! He just apparently had no interest in the most cursory examination of them!

- At some point, my mother got me a membership to the local Hadassah chapter, and I still occasionally get emails from them. Which led to this conversation tonight:
- Me: Hey Alter, do you want to go to the Hadassah improv night? Alter: What do you think the average age of the attendees is going to be? Me: I dunno, about 75? Finally the perfect audience for your jokes!
