Jessica Olin is Tired but Still Masks

A knit peach, teal, and white kitten with black eyes resting on an American Airlines seat tray.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

Quicksand!!

We're getting similar reports all over the country, possibly indicating coordinated activity.

Are you sure that's not an elder god? Because that's definitely the vibe I'm getting.

the pervasive sense of "technology is making life worse all the time and there's nothing you can do about it" is a real bummer, I tell you what

Yesterday, I said Thaddeus for Death (one of my fave cards, btw). Today, I'm saying his brother, Josiah "Joe" Cooper, for The Tower (the card that scares me the most when it comes up in readings). Joe was a homophobic, destructive, misogynistic piece of shit, who's only good day was the day he died.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

#Smutcember Once again, when presented "A or B", I'm going with "C". In this case, C is "I prefer to write sex scenes for couples who are new to me." I love a 2nd chance romance couple rediscovering each other as much as a brand new relationship, but best of all is finding new ways to have them fuck

Amazing, and very tempting, but I just bought a Manchester City hoodie and really shouldn't buy another.

Perfect

#DeckTheHalls I mean, Hades explicitly exists in my world - he runs a maple syrup farm with Persephone. But really, I think Thaddeus (werewolf who falls in love with Hermes) is this card. Tad's brother died and Tad embraces the changes and makes his life anew.

Dig it

Hurt/comfort is always part of my process, too.

If you need a little digital reconnection to the pulse of the living Earth, here are about 200 sandhill cranes winging south over Atlanta this afternoon. Their voices have echoed across this continent for at least 5 million years. Hopefully 5 million more

No suit. I went to an antique store with @lizzieblackwood.bsky.social in tow. Bought a supposedly Meiji period Japanese candle stand, and abalone box, and a silver Victorian lady's pocket watch. Pictures on Discord.

Also? This is what 53 looks like. Happy birthday to me.

Me with my silver hair and my red stripe down the side.

Same face, only less showing and with glasses.

Me, wearing a kn94 mask, hait pulled on top of my head and red painted along the side.

The pineapple is about a Tumblr joke (deep lore kind of thing), but I couldn't resist. #Smutcember

#Smutcember To nobody's surprise, my favorite self-indulgent pairing is monster/human. Pairings I've written (though not all published): satyr/human; leprechaun/human; gancanagh/human; werewolf/human; orc/human; naga/human; and dragon/human. (Also wrote some human/human and one werewolf/Greek god.)

I think I could handle all of those except the walking one, but I'm a little off anyway.

The reason women's clothes don't have pockets is so we don't load them with rocks and walk into the sea

“10% of the sales of Harry Potter merchandise from our store will go to these charities that supports trans people”

oh? and the other 90%?
