My favorite theme and credits ever

Trans People in Kentucky Are on Edge. Some Are Arming Up. As anti-trans violence and misinformation rise in Kentucky, transgender residents like Xian Brooks turn to gun safety, self-defense, and community education to protect LGBTQ lives and reclaim safety.

Trans Kentuckians arm up amid fear, misinformation, and escalating political attacks. queerkentucky.com/transgender-...

The irony doesn't escape me that I'm more than 20 years after that event writing about it myself. The world today doesn't get a large awakening event, but many small slings and arrows that wear us down as a nation.

I sit here reading Danse Macabre by Stephen King, and he is writing about a period of mass memory and empathy following the Kennedy assassination, and I have to remember he was writing those words almost 20 years to the day before the events of September 11th.

I see that nib and raise you a :-)

If anyone out there needs something to do on a Saturday night, come along for the #horrorwatch at 9 Eastern Time. This watchalong created by @pauljessup.com is always loads of fun. This weekend we are watching the weird fiction classic From Beyond.

Sad that it ended so soon but I'll be real happy to rewatch from beyond. I have always enjoyed that movie.

she's so sweet I can't stand it! 😭

I tell you some days the fountain pen community is hard. I really want to upgrade my pocket Kaweco Sport to a more durable material but I really love the color of the plastic one I currently carry.

Remembering Jack Parsons on the occasion of his Lesser Feast.

“No man is worthy to fight in the cause of freedom unless he has conquered his internal masters.”

This is theft. If you're a publisher you need to have two accounts: Operating, and Royalties. Funds in those two accounts NEVER intermingle, and using R to pay O (or one writer's R to pay another author's) is a breach of your fidiciary duty as a publisher. That simple. Don't steal from your writers!

A screen cap of E.D.E. Bell explaining (in reply to another post about how publishers shouldn't have to borrow to pay royalties) how she's going to have to borrow money to pay her writers because she "invested in inclusion efforts in good faith, got undermined by racists and their enablers while having an author die on us..." She blames everyone else in the world except her own accounting practices, using money that wasn't hers to pay overhead bills.

Since EDE Bell Blocked me, here's her statement that I'm responding to.

So tell me? Does JD calling for consequences for free speech open up a very big litigation case for the government attempting to impose first amendment restrictions on people?

Oooh... the Prefounte is very nice looking. I'll have to get one of those soon.

You know, Platinum Preppy fountain pens give great value for cost. I hadn't used mine in a while after getting 'better' pens and I had forgotten how smooth the Platinum nibs are. I might have to look into a more expensive Platinum in the future.

TIL that I'm not a Liberal as I've always thought, but I'm a Leftist. I've just had years in systems that didn't show me the difference between the two so I could figure myself out.

One thing I like about fountain pens as a hobby is that anyone can get enjoyment out of it at any number of price points. You can get fountain pens that are awesome to write with for very little money, or you can go all out collecting if that is what you want to do.

Forget the darkest timeline, I'm beginning to think we are on the dumbest timeline instead.

I was half way down the picture thinking 'with these selections, you should add The Audition'... then got to the bottom. Never mind! :)

Ooooooooooooo

we really need an edit button.

even if it's only active a short time after we tap "post".

I'm sorry to anyone who wanted a different movie, but I couldn't pass up voting for Peter Cushing as Holmes. I'd wanted to see this for years and now I have a good excuse.

Just finished The End of the World as We Know It. What an awesome collection of fiction from such amazing authors. Thank you @briankeene.bsky.social and @cgolden.bsky.social for being the force behind this. I only wish my Mother, a long time Stand Fan, had been around to enjoy it.
