Friday link roundup: July 14, 2023

Quickfic

A fiction-posting framework by the admin of the Mastodon instance I’m on. I probably won't use it since I don’t have the brain power to host my own HTTP server, but I’m glad it exists.

The Nightfall Express

Yet Another Smol Internet Protocol, this came across my radar last Friday, roughly twelve hours after the previous link roundup. So it goes in this one.

I love the smol internet so much. I love the passion people have for doing these things just because they’re fun.

FontCycler

A package for Sublime Text, my current text editor of choice. Because I’m a weirdo who uses text editors for everything, including writing, so having an easy way to swap between fonts is handy. Sometimes switching your font helps you re-read what you’ve written with a fresh set of eyes; also, being able to switch to a text-obscuring font makes it easier to write without going back and editing constantly.

Eorzean Fonts collection

Speaking of which, Twitter user @thatskyfii made four absolutely lovely fonts based on the lettering used in Final Fantasy XIV. I’ve been meaning to teach myself to sight-read them, but for now, they also work great for obscuring text.

Strange Housing

And speaking of FFXIV, did you know there are players out there making their own jumping puzzles in their houses? Here’s a directory.

Veganism And Mi’kmaw Legends: Feminist Natives Do Eat Tofu

At stake in the creation of an Indigenous veganism is the authority of Indigenous people, especially women, to determine cultural authenticity for ourselves. Dominant white discourse portrays our cultures as embedded in the pre-colonial past. This perspective must be replaced with the recognition that Indigenous cultures are living traditions, responsive to changing social and environmental circumstances.

(Edit) Since I didn’t think this needed to be said, this essay is a *refutation* of the idea that veganism is an attack on Native lifestyles.
