Nice grab!

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! 🥰🫀

two men are standing next to each other in front of a yellow sign that says 00 Alt: In The Court Jester, Danny Kaye (dressed as a jester) says, "Get it?" Basil Rathborne, as a sinister lord, says, "Got it," and Danny Kaye answers, "Good."

Tonight I introduced my 17-y-o to The Court Jester - my first viewing of it in over 30 years - and I'm happy to report that it's still absolutely hilarious. :) There was a LOT of laughing from both of us!

Katie is going to the vet tomorrow to get her shots and to get a lump on her face looked at.
I'm like 80% sure it's a cyst, but send good vibes that it's a cyst. Also wondering if the vet will Dr. Pimple-popper it while we're there if it is.

Wolf Worm

Just in case you missed it, I have a new horror novel out on the 24th! Distract yourself from the horrors with smaller, more controllable horrors?

Hey authors, I know y’all hate self-promotion, but when I see book promos in my feed being retweeted by friends I trust, I almost always click through to check it out, and if it’s on sale you have *really* good odds of me taking a chance on it, so, you know, you should do that more.

Graffiti on marble at the Hagia Sofia: Younger Futhark runes are marked in shaky hand on the marble, which likely required a lot of effort, spelling out Halfdan was here.

For centuries they were thought to just be scratches in the marble, perhaps structural damage from earthquakes. In 1964 it was determined these markings weren't random but writing: the Hagia Sophia bears Viking Era graffiti, runes that say "Halfdan was here." #WyrdWednesday

A purple background with black bubble text that reads: Stop Forcing Black Autistic Women to Fit Into Molds Authenticity shouldn't be a battle for survival.

A purple background with Black bubble text that reads : Society loves conformity. But for Black autistic women, that pressure to "fit in" is more than uncomfortable it's erasure.

A purple background with Black bubble text that reads: Every day, we are told to: "Act normal." "Be polite." "Tone it down." "Don't be too loud, too quiet, too different." These "rules" are cages disguised as expectations.

Stop forcing Black autistic women to shrink, mask, and conform. We don’t need to fit your norms 🙂‍↔️ we redefine them. Our existence is not up for debate 🫶🏽🦋♾️🖤

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

Lol. The phrase popped into my head while thinking of how to write an Edgar update because my dog is nothing if not filled with piss and vinegar when he's feeling better 😂
If he's too nice, I worry

I wonder if "piss and vinegar" is a direct off-shoot/bastardization of "vim and vigor" because they sort of sound similar and they mean basically the same thing, except one is energy with attitude

This is what everyone should be worrying about. Not Trump canceling elections, but Republicans taking the trips they've been playing on everyone else and doing them to white voter precincts.

This thread is a painfully perfect description of how it will go down.

I hate when you have a day where you feel like you're coming off as short or rude unintentionally, so you just mute all your Discords and stop talking to people for a bit.
It's a me problem. Idk what it even is, but ugh.

Ibrahim has apersistent cold&cough😔💔
His immunity is weakened due to malnutrition&extreme cold we face in our tattered tent

I cry bitterly when I look at my five children, unable to feed them or protect them from the cold because my wife is unable to do anything due to shoulder pain and a heart valve prolapse. I need $200 to buy shoulder injections and food.

CALL NOW: Tell Your Senators No War With Iran | Indivisible Demand your Senator do everything in their power to stop Trump’s war on Iran.

TODAY: The Senate is expected to vote on a War Powers Resolution for Trump’s illegal war with Iran.

Like the Iraq War vote two decades ago, this decision will define a generation of politicians.

Call your senators and demand that they rein in Trump and prevent further military operations in Iran.

What do you mean the US ran out of missiles? What's the point of teachers buying their own school supplies if we don't have infinite missiles forever?

Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

Final Edgar biopsy update:
Still NOT cancer. The pathologists think it was a piece of plant material that got embedded in his mouth that encapsulated, got infected, and burst open/fell out.
Once again, fuck the first vet, and YAY FOR NOT CANCER

Ngl, I think I'm still mildly traumatized from my experience at the first vet I went to with Edgar when his mouth was bleeding. I am so glad that I am not a passive or trusting person because I could have put a healthy dog to sleep because the vet was a lazy, high-handed asshole 🫠
