I still need a handful of things to make my disabled life easier, but I will have to switch to crowdfunding for rent Monday so this is my last post about it. 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ #HelpPeopleLive2025 #HolidayJoy #DisabilityCrowdfund #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund paypal.me/rookkilljoy CashApp/Venmo: foxrook

Because people might need a neutral post of a cat right now.

Just finished reading IT WAS HER HOUSE FIRST by @cheriepriest.com from start to finish. Totally worth reading, and I was spellbound from page 1!

Tonight is chilly so it calls for Cuckoo Hot Cocoa (JD + oat milk + bitters + whipped cream)

Relaxation tips: Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Let your brain go quiet. Let your atoms float away on the soft evening breeze and become one with a sinister fog that creeps forever across the misty moors.

Why are computers.

I DID NOT EXPECT MINNESOTA TO WIN 5-2 CAN THIS TEAM SHOW UP EVERY NIGHT???? #StephYellsAboutHockey

A big reason for the growth of evangelicalism is that many of the big churches actually offer this kind of shit to young moms. Like yeah, they expect you to be a tradwife but they also offer community, childcare, playplaces with coffee shops, all kinds of stuff. Institute this secularly!!!

Marin Theatre and Muttville are partnering to bring "The Gift of Nothing" to the stage Dec 13-23. A live-action adaptation of Patrick McDonnell's heartwarming children's book of the same name, this family-friendly show features characters from the Mutts comic strip.

I ended up not posting on DW yesterday. It was A Day.

The phrase "code is law" is, at absolute best, a gross oversimplification that siezes on fairly shallow similarities between two things that have extremely different purposes. It's probably done far more harm than good over the last several decades.

When Coco thinks the Christmas tree is a massive cat tree 🙃

the local paper in my town posted a bigoted rant exclaiming "illegals and muslims are not our friends." my muslim friends are shaken. i would like some suggestions on how to be supportive--i definitely plan on checking in with them. i'm not linking to the letter. the paper is the odessa american

Re-posting for the morning crowd. Please donate to the Hill Country Ride for AIDS if you can.

Today's Wordle in 2! :D Yes, it's 5:16 am and I'm awake. I have Thoughts (tm) which I will put on DW. (after I get home from work and piano lesson today) (I know why DW can't have a mobile app officially but it certainly wouldn't hurt!) (I can't sideload apps on my phone because of work)

Just renewed my Dreamwidth account for another year of paid time. It helps them and I really appreciate the hard work @rahaeli.bsky.social and others do!

What a game! Two goals in the last 90” for the @pwhltorrent.bsky.social to take their first win on home ice. Woohoo!

HOLIDAY SHOPPERS: heads up, y'all. I've got links. I've got books. I've got stuff on sale, and you can find it all here: www.cheriepriest.com/blog/holiday...

So hey, while I'm talking about bras. I have been going through my old wardrobe, embarrassingly quite a bit of it still have tags & have never been worn. I have two bras from Lane Bryant, they have tags and have never been worn. They are both a 44 DD. If you're in need of a bra in this size, dm me!

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a vintage work by Wings in the form and shape of a small summer spirit, but animated by the year-round phenomenon of the light that holds the sky: wingssilverwork.com/the-silver-l....

I know Small Business Saturday is over #smallbusinesssaturday but since you are all boycotting the big guys, you should check out the gorgeous earrings my friend makes.

Railway Office | View of Argentine Central Railway ticket office at 1641 Market Street in Denver. Five-story building has decorative trim and stonework. Signs read: "Argentine & Grays Peak Ry. Ticket Office" and "Seeing Denver."

I've been trying to brew coffee as I have 14 months worth (long story). So far, I think the "Hario"-like method is a success. Have tried French press but it's a bit harder to clean. Would welcome any and all suggestions! (I also have a Mr Coffee 4-cup maker)

Just posted a big handful of new job openings in the Tabletop Game Jobs group. Wide variety of jobs posted in the last week, from game design with D&D and Warhammer, marketing & event jobs, plus a handful of project management. Tabletop Game Jobs FB Group: www.facebook.com/groups/Table... 🎲🧵

Giant man-baby and terrible basketball player Zach Lavine peevishly justifies yelling at a dedicated Sacramento Kings fan who challenged him to play some defense. Lavine used the N word when rudely responding to the season ticket holder, who was ejected. www.sacbee.com/sports/nba/s...

Butter sounds delicious!

@ajijaakwe.bsky.social N's cuff came today. WHOA! were you ever right about how that stone changing in different light! Beautiful in any light, but in the sunlight. . . And the silverwork was phenomenal. As usual. Your timing was impeccable. Her day had not been great. Until she opened the package.

With apologies to @shiftedshaped.bsky.social LIGHT THE BEAM!!! ❤️

Eiichi Ohtaki’s A Long Vacation (1981) is one of the most beloved albums in Japanese pop music. Ohtaki, born in Iwate Prefecture, blended American pop influences with a uniquely Japanese melodic sensibility.

“Ohtaki” （大瀧）in Japanese literally means “big waterfall,” and Ohtaki named his record label Niagara as a playful nod to his own name. On the other hand, “Ohtani” （大谷）means “big valley.”

Urgent! Sitting at $300 of $775 needed for rent by Dec 1st while dealing with multiple disabling health problems. Only $475 and 9 days left to go til due. Please help keep this disabled queer trans artist housed! Thank you!! 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ paypal.me/rookkilljoy CashApp/Venmo: foxrook gofund.me/659e1b65

Stalled at $80, with under 18 hours until due! Please chip in if you can spare it? And please help me keep spreading these requests- time is of the essence!

Clearly I don't know much about Colorado geography. I thought Durango was maybe 3-4 hours from Denver. It's more like 7! 😱 (there is a ragtime festival there in April next year)

Good fortune to you on this fine Caturday! "Tarot Cat" art by Elisabeth Alba ink, watercolor, acryla gouache

Having a great time at the West Coast Ragtime Festival listening to ragtime and early jazz music! Did a bit of open piano myself.

My house is haunted, but it’s mostly just confusing, like..it’s never really scared me - just made me second-guess my ADHD meds. According to our neighbors, our place was once owned by an elderly Italian couple who spoke little English.

Speaking of, I'm $8,089 away from calling it quits on my fundraiser. PACIFICALLY, to avoid getting stranded at clinic/births like yesterday due to my bank account, I need a car to keep this sacrifice from being all for naught. If you got it like that it would be an immense relief.

Kind of like 2.

Picture this: a family walking into the concert hall for the very first time. They’re not here because of a special promotion or a one‑time giveaway. They’re here because Pay What You Can tickets made it possible. 🎫💛

Of course everyone is ignoring the fact that SK lied about why she had been suspended, blaming it on her politics, and used that lie to drive traffic to her substack account. Because the only thing Sarah has ever cared about is her subscription numbers.

This Veteran's Day think about all the veterans at home who are struggling with healthcare costs going up, mental health issues, SNAP being cut, the VA being terrible (because it has been terrible for a long time) Look for a way to donate or support in your local community.

All I'm going to say about the current political obsession with circular firing squads is: You should have thought of this before last November. And if you are going to primary everyone, please do better than a Nazi or a democratic socialist.

What is your endgame here with the shutdown if we continue to fight? Does this go into 2027? To the midterms? Grassley was clear they were not going to approve ACA subsidies. We were at stalemate. What about furloughed workers with bills to pay and no pay to pay them? How long do you want to fight?

goooood morning it is cool and very ominously cloudy out there, but even when all the pretty leaves turn brown and the weather turns to shit: Lucy Loved That Walk

#StayReadyCrew Here’s something you can do that actually helps Democrats and yourself…PREPARE YOUR HOUSEHOLDS AS BEST YOU CAN FOR THE NEXT REPUBLICAN ONSLAUGHT. I keep seeing sooooo many people that helped get us to this place tell you to do everything but the obvious thing. The GOP knows people
