This is not OK. This is what we're doing while fascism swallows the world and Putin laughs?

I grow more functional day by day, but do not mistake functional for OK.

I encourage people to read the entire thread, but wanted to quote this so people saw the book title. I often find myself nodding in agreement with Dr. Hicks's posts, and I think that many could benefit from reading this book.

I feel desperately alone.

I've cried so much in the last two days. The world is darker forever and I don't know how to live within it.

The best of cats, the prince of cats, my little Jeep passed away today. I am ruined.

I napped this evening (collapsed out of exhaustion, really - my cat's doing poorly) and dreamt I was in a fun little tavern. Went outside to where there was a small fire where others were gathered, and I got the sense that I knew them and was appreciated by them. Why couldn't that be my reality?

You don't want justice. You want vengeance against those who traumatized you.

WE OUT HERE IN THE BAY 🌊​ ​ The PWHL is officially headed to San Jose!​ ➡️ pwhlsanjose.com

@bskyrad.io How'd you feel about doing Harry's Game from Clannad?

@bskyrad.io "Blueski Radio"? That's...not how I envisioned it being pronounced. Nice track list, though. Absolutely is channeling the SC fog. Wish I were over on that side of the mountains instead of in my apartment on the bay side.

Looking forward to getting me some season tickets!

Graf, on why it was important for him to use Pride tape in warm-ups: "Hockey's for everyone. Just wanted to support. The fans were really good. They're showing their support and showing their support for us too. It was a great night."

I don't think any of this is fixable anymore. Unfortunately, that will probably please the accelerationists, who deserve not one mote of pleasure from any of this.

I love this. youtu.be/nhmdDjatyRY?...

Alysa Liu. A proud product of Oakland.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Last night of FC was better. The ballroom panel was quite lovely (though I am still bitter that con policies essentially prevented me from fursuiting for it) and I played a nice game of Red Dragon Inn in the gaming room.

Might delete my account.

I think going to FC was a mistake.

:-(

Am at Further Confusion. Not having fun yet. :-/ But my fun comes in different ways than other furs, and it has been a long time since I trod the halls of the San Jose Convention Center.

Not to be stereotypical, but I just ate a big dish of beef chow mein.

2025 is done. Good riddance. 2026 is going to be challenging, also. Even if I will be gainfully employed again, there's a lot of things I am afraid of on that horizon. Some that may happen, and some that may never happen again. And this world still feels so alien to me.

Seems like there's more people crying election fraud about 2024 in the last few days. This worries me - both because I believe it's a spike in the spread of misinformation from abroad and because people, either due to trauma or desperation, are buying it. That undermines *us*, not the fascists.

Statement Re: OU Discrimination Investigation Today, my client, Mel Curth, submitted her appeal of the University's Institutional Equity Office finding that she engaged in arbitrary and capricious grading of a student's assignment in violation of that student's religious liberty.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

I wrote a short essay on what I'm calling the AI Attribution Error. doi.org/10.59350/c3g...

Jeep's had his splendectomy and a visit to the oncologist. The spleen was cancerous, but the oncologist says that the accompanying nodules on the intestine aren't necessarily their own issue and may simply disappear. We're doing chemo. Still using the feeding tube. Here he is, spacing out a little.

TIL where California got its name, and I am sorely disappointed in the present lack of griffins.

Phew. Fun Ottawa @ Vancouver game. #pwhl

He has cancer. :-( Surgery to remove the spleen happens today. I can only hope that it goes well and it hasn't spread.

Oddly fitting still

This is not even close to right. I mean, I do listen to Loreena McKennitt and Gunship (or, I guess, "GUNSHIP*), but I am nowhere near being a Scorpio. Though I suppose I am intense.

I'm tired of this town again.

Ugh. So tired of people who think the world will break if we had less than maximum capacity packed into it.

Almost forgot to wish everyone a happy Wolfenoot!

"We fall, we repent, we survive" is possibly the strongest quote about the human condition that I've seen in decades, and it came from a silly little horny devils-and-angels cartoon (that's not actually so silly). Yes, I thoroughly endorse Hazbin Hotel.

The 3 period structure is really ideal for a sport.

I think we've just seen the two most hilarious penalties of the current season, between "you don't get a stick" and "let's just put 6 players out".

That Zetterlund guy is pretty good. I wish the Sharks could get players like him.

@hockeyfannibal.bsky.social Even the Sportsnet color guy is saying he thought that was a major.

One of these people was contributing valuably to society. The other two belong to ICE.

They didn't call Sanderson for a boarding here?!

I have to imagine that I am the first person in history to watch Hamilton and the new Deathstalker remake back-to-back, right?

This kind of BS is why I find it important for people not to use the g-word. Anti-Roma racism has never died out in the world. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I have to consider the possibility that a quorum, perhaps even a majority, of US citizens are too mentally abused or traumatized to be able to participate meaningfully in their own government. Don't worry, I count myself in that as well.

If this were played on loop utside every ICE compound, I wouldn't complain one bit. youtu.be/xprS7qvCB3E
