On Saturday, Miriam was watching a cartoon on Netflix that was interesting enough to grab my attention away from Factorio for spans of time. Something called The Dragon Prince. There are *so many* nifty things in there, character-wise.
Two that really made me happy were:
*A female high-ranking military officer (a general or equivalent maybe?) who is mute, (and possibly deaf? I didn't catch that) speaks in sign-language, and does not have patience with your bullshit.
*A story about a three-legged wolf who was given an illusory leg. He could get along just fine on his own, but people couldn't help but assume he was disabled by his appearance. The illusion was to overcome other people's false expectations about the disability.
These things both make me so happy! And the show in general has pretty decent writing. Interestingly, some of the animation looks oddly similar to Ralph Bakshi's style, even though it's supposedly all computer animation.

I get goofy sometimes when I'm stressed too. Someone just asked for a particular book that we have a bunch of for certification classes. She said she needed that little blue ACLS book, but it's actually red. I got one for her and said that, while it was actually red, if it approaches her quickly enough, it might appear blue. Or is that the other way around? I forget which way the spectrum goes....
Red has a shorter wavelength, so it would have to recede from her quickly enough to appear blue. That's it.
