Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Fair, it's been a while since I've fired a trebuchet, but we could home in on the target pretty quickly, I think.

Looks like a water balloon target. P-roblem solved.

Great @locusmag.bsky.social of my @sauutiverse.bsky.social novella "Descent" published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com!

Awesome to see people have enjoyed the story.

So that's a "no" on solutions.

That reminds me of my favorite quote about a specific group of apparent celebrities: "Everything I learned about the Kardashians I learned against my will."

... you know what I mean...

HA! I love you...

This reminds me of the board game Spirit Island. In that game you play an elemental spirit trying to prevent humans from invading your lands.

And we'll have moved to the "Yeah, he did it, but it doesn't matter" portion of the collapse.

A number of actively offensive, and indefensible, words have been making their way back into common use recently.
While there are always a-holes whispering these words, I think that the turmoil in the US regarding the white house occupant has exacerbated and freed them to scream these words.

Sometimes I wish I was Christian just so I could believe he would eventually get his just desserts...

“Sir, there are families who deserve better than that.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Thanks for the follow! I'll check out your guidelines and see what might fit what you're looking for. I contain all manner of multitudes.

“You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

History is repeating, only worse.

This publication has been delayed, but pending final edits, I am assured it will be out in the next couple of weeks.

Trump vs. Birds: Proposed Budget Eliminates Critical Research Programs • The Revelator Experts say there’s “no substitute” for the Bird Banding Laboratory or the Breeding Bird Survey, which help reveal the health and status of avian populations across the country.

The new federal budget wants to eliminate bird banding funding, the one thing that allows scientists to track the health and population of birds across the country.

Birders, rise up! By @rheisman.bsky.social therevelator.org/trump-vs-bir...

Billions? Perhaps around the world. In the US, we only have 340 million people total, and like 1/4 of them are cultists, or at least voted that way. Unfortunately, another 1/4 are supremely unmotivated even in self-defense. If even a fraction of them had acted when they could most comfortably...

Merkley had a pretty effective day.

Or will have, if you make this go viral.

Considering starting a feed exclusively for writers to discuss and develop their unorthodox projects (encyclopedias, bestiaries, in-universe texts, fictional wikis) people have told me they want to do, but "has no audience".
Would anyone post there?
