I donโ€™t believe you are, so donโ€™t believe you are either.

Prints! Lots of critters

Purrmaid plush toys! It looks like there's a lot, but there's no backstock, so that's it!

I'm at MFF table F21-22!

I didn't wind up shipping extra plush due to Pig's sudden passing, so hurry over if you want a Purrmaid!

But I hopefully have plenty of pins, stickers, and prints!

it is impossible to overstate the extent to which this country is now being run by people you would leave a party rather than talk to for five minutes

Grappling with the Torah and Talmud and thousands of years of other, very learned Jews grappling with the Torah, I am struck by the way Jews have consistently said "wait, this is cruel, G-d must not have meant this how it sounded" and argued and reasoned things to a more loving position.

Those first types are people who donโ€™t deserve the benefits Society provides, because they want to deny them to others.

I never found many of them after the Russian buy, but did my best to hunt down the ones I could.

Dreamwidth wasnโ€™t the same (but is ok!), and nothing else is quite with LJ was either.

To my friends from LiveJournal

I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom?

I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him.

I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been

I hope you got your houseboat.

I hope you got everything.

It's not our fault the whole scene is A MESS. If you are an artist too you aren't failing. The whole industry is getting messed up right now!!

I know a lot of the times I feel like "why am I not good enough?"

We are good enough. they are trying to hire NOBODY

This is as expected.

What we're not gonna do is give up on Texas. It is not a red state, it is a vote suppressed and gerrymandered state. Our job now in caring for each other is to find out how we can help get out the vote in Texas. I suggest following @andreagrimes.com

Aye, and the world better for it.

For the man is petty and cruel, swollen with greed, and fed hate from when he wakes to ere he sleeps.

And none of his works have virtue.

In a district gerrymandered to fuck to be sure that a double digit shift would never happen. Lotta folks out there don't grasp what TN07 did today and how shook up the GOP is gonna be about it. They did the unthinkable there, my heart is so full.

What I really really really want is for Democrats to start saying with their whole chest, whenever the media tries to hang them up on some kind of stupid technicality, that the Republicans put up a mass-murdering serial rapist pedophile for President, and then refuse to answer the gotcha.

Charlestown, Virginia Dec 2, 1859

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

Article (Alan Sepinwall; Rolling Stone) excerpt reads: โ€œWhile Gilligan is experimenting with a new sci-fi concept in Pluribus, heโ€™s in an industry where an older trope of the genre โ€” the robots coming for us โ€” has somehow become a depressing reality. โ€œIf you really want to wake me in a cold sweat at three in the morning, AI is the stick to poke me with,โ€™ he says. โ€˜But then some deeper part of me says, โ€˜Human beings are always going to want stories created by other human beings.

The creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan, creator of the new Apple TV+ sci-fi PLUR1BUS has โ€œthis show was made by humansโ€ in the credits.

He recently mentioned this about gen ai and about original TV shows. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
