What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Trying to stay atop of bills this month and trying to get some help with my rent! Please chip in if you can!

A good dungeon convention haul always has a good plan.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Some thoughts on what Trump has done in Venezuela and what it might mean for US national security. Caveat: not a Latin America scholar so this is focused on US policy. Clearly huge consequences for Venezuela that others can address. First, despite the buildup, I didn't think Trump would do it. 1/

Looking back on 2025: the Moonlight Collection 🌙 We had such a lovely full moon in the beginning of November that I spent the rest of the month just painting the moon. It’s a great subject for practicing painting soft, glowing light!

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

1- store.steampowered.com/app/1491410/ Eternal Strands is one of the best action adventure games I've played in years, and I've heard next to no one talk about it. It's gorgeous, is a major homage to Shadow of the Colossus, and has telekinesis magic that puts Star Wars games' force usage to shame.

The ACLU's Lee Gelernt has been at the front lines of immigration horrors for longer than most anyone. Here he's giving a map not only of what it means to fly hundreds of Venezuelans to a lawless prison, but more pointedly what it means to defy judicial commands. swap.fm/l/AmicusWith...

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

I’ve been able to take care of Ichi, my car insurance, and rent - they need a payment for my phone today or else it gets shut off. It’s a little behind so anything helps 🖤
