This concept was coined into the phrase Windows, Mirrors, and Sliding Glass Doors by the inimitable Dr Rudine Sims Bishop. It is foundational in children's literature and libraries/library depts aimed at kids and teens.

That description on the web-page really could use a touch up though. It's a block of text heavy enough to sink several ships.
Now available on hoopla: Based on real fake events, Tales of Yhore recounts my adventures in a digitally constructed video game world based on a movie based on a book, none of which really existed ever. Please to enjoy. It's free with a library card, I hear.

Yes. It's about the art.

Well, good luck with that!
I mean isn't torturing your characters part of the fun?... er, I mean... part of the process?
Given the future they want us to swallow, virtual steak is a tempting choice, to be sure.
Sure, why bother thinking at all? Just plug me into the Matrix and get it done with. At least I'll be able to do cool Kung Fu stuff.
Governments are never courageous. Occasionally we are lucky enough that some people that run them try to be.
None of this behavior is new, the internet just makes it convenient to find, harder to ignore and easier to get siloed into echo chambers. I agree that moderation should be better, but what company at this point is moral and/or brave enough to sacrifice those monetized views?
A younger Monk used to reply “I’m sorry, but I’m going to really need to talk to Steve about this. We already have a deal. And if you don’t know the deal, you’re definitely not working with Steve.”
I count myself fortunate that the text spammer from the "IRS" claiming I owe thousands of dollars can be paid almost immediately by the next scammer offering me a generous loan from a "major bank" because of my "great credit"!
I'm so lucky!
“The left is missing out on AI!” YEP. Most of us want to miss out! If it ever proves its actual usefulness to our actual lives, stops plagiarizing, and is no longer an environmental disaster, maybe we revisit. Burden of proof is on the industry. So far they’ve done the opposite of that!
I feel bad for those cheddar bay biscuits that have to share table space with... whatever that drink is.
I'm sure this is reputable. A good review of my book by Hollywood's Logan Crawford is certainly worth...
*checks the internet*
$1000?
*thinks hard*
I'm sure @roguelion.bsky.social will cover this.
Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico
Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social
It'll make Carr mad

Map showing tens of thousands of protests across the US between Trump's inauguration last year and January 31, 2026.
The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.
Me in 1980: "I can't wait for jetpacks. The future will be great!"
Me in 2026: "Billionaires fund technology that pollutes our water to make child pornography."
1980 me: "WTF?!"
2026 me: "Your neighbor's doorbell can also spy on you."
1980 me: "But at least equal rights..."
2026 me: "Nope."
An honest and brutal assessment of WTF is happening on the legal frontlines. Despair is the administration's goal. Thanks and hope to everyone fighting on every front.
Blergh! I was part of the Smashwords -> Draft2Digital migration. It occurs to me now that I haven't followed up on that yet. I know D2D does Bookshop, so I probably should make time to go figure that out. Wish me luck. Better yet, wish me sanity.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

@pyracantha.bsky.social actually understands. I just nod along pretending I do.
Lol. At the time of that documentary, I think most were still in high school, but that was 2018. Looks like they're in the UK now touring with some other bands.
Also Alien Weaponry, another NZ metal band if you're not familar.

The ghoulish grin on his face while he talks about the "widget economy" is really all I need to know about this soggy garbage bag in the crude shape of a person.
Introduce yourself with the name your parents ALMOST gave you.
Hi, I'm Nikki.
My father was dead certain I would be a girl up until I was actually born. Just his first of many disappointments in me, I'm firmly convinced.
