Breaking my internet silence to repost this. Folks, Colleen is SUPER good folks and *far* too competent for her employment drought. Anything you can do to help (donating, sharing, it's all good) would be going toward an excellent goal.

Fuck.

c'mon it's not asking much that you risk your life by wanking off the elephants cos I can't think of a white lie to tell my 3yo.

Just goes to show that hierarchy is seductive and corruptive

I will reiterate something here: The MMR is a live-virus vaccine. As such, I (and people like me) CANNOT take it Everyone on chemotherapy, everyone in transplant protocol, everyone with a weakened immune system -- we all all DEPENDING on the REST of you to get vaccinated, to stop it from spreading.

The only one I was fooling here was myself.

The Waffle House sells an official nightlight and I’m so pissed it’s sold out I could start a fight at the Waffle House.

Wear a damn mask and go get your MMR re-upped. Just do it. If you don't have insurance, check with your state health department about programs they might have. Do it.

Cats yelling in slow motion is my new favorite genre.

Always repost the medically accurate muscle chart. ("and then there's this asshole" is my nemesis)

Fuckin' President Goldmember here.

We don’t want you to read COYOTE RUN by @lilithsaintcrow.com simply because we publish it. We want you to read it because we think you’re cool and want you to be happy when the fascists lose. Plus the Ebook is cheaper than a fancy latte and it’ll last longer too. MAYBE COYOTE IS A VALUE MEAL

the chair emoji got put there cuz i made this while sleep deprived and it accidentally went viral and people kept yelling at me about it

This is the most delightful photo.

For those who missed the reference, or just want to read it again.

This sweet 17 year old baby deserves a happy home NOW! If you're in the northern VA area go visit him. Missy will send you a $100 Chewy or PetSmart card to by him a comfy bed if you adopt him. Please share this post so he can be "home" soon!

Hi Boston based people my friend unfortunately has to give up his cats and he’s devastated about it but he wants to make sure they go to a loving home . It’s a pair of brothers who are very sweet and affectionate. If interested shoot me a message for more details

Nope. Was watching ALIEN: EARTH. Interested enough to keep going until, shortly into the second episode, a bad thing happened to a cat. Not gonna watch any more. NOPE.

Skipping lunch today so I can chow down on grub from our favorite sub shop for dinner.

tl;dr: Donald Eastlake knew he'd tested positive, went to Worldcon and the MPC meeting anyway, took off his mask, and explicitly refused to put it back on. If you were at that meeting or at Worldcon in general: you can boost your chances by immediately starting a H1+H2 antihistamine --

Good, I see the council is assembled. We have mews from the outer rim to discuss.

I will never support anyone who doesn’t full throatedly support trans people, whether they’re kids or adults. End of.

In case you haven't seen this: "Are you out of your damn mind?"

If you’re proud of what you’re doing show your face ::clap clap:: If you’re proud of what you’re doing show your face ::clap clap:: If you’re proud of what you’re doing and you don’t care who you’re screwing, Or that everyone is booing show your face ::clap clap::

HFS CAPTAIN BATEL ON STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS IS MRS. MCMURRAY ON LETTERKENNY

this was the post, and it will still be funny whenever I see it again

Once again tapping the sign that reads “the alternative to collective bargaining is dragging out the factory owner from his house and beating him to death in front of his family,” because that’s what we had before collective bargaining Unions are there for *your* protection too, management

(PARENTHESES FTW)

Laughed at this for about 5 minutes 😂😂😂😂

STANKBOARD

From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI" GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰

New work, anti-AI artwork in watercolor. Handpainted, one of each artologica.etsy.com

Except for some major American publishers...

Fried Rodent is still on his bullshit.

I'm not too sure about this. I mean, his *one* moment of succumbing to Bad Stuff was with Melina freakin' Kanakaredes, and even *that* was chock-full of wrestling with his conscience. Plus, he's had practice via dealing with Dief (whom I love, but come ON). BENTON. FRASER.

Hell, I'm only art-*adjacent*, and I insta-block anyone knowingly and unironically (though even "ironically" is sketchy AF) posting "AI" slop. In fact, it'd be best if it's not posted even to *dunk* on.

*And* give them all pronunciation guides (including Bear's suggestion for names in thanks speeches) beforehand so that 120 wpm is maximized. (Hell, *my* IRL last name is mispronounced most of the time despite my being the whitest white who ever whited. DO BETTER.)

Hot Girl Sumer is here again

Short memories.

Well, Hiccup's definitely back to normal.

And we're finally *completely* back. Gas was turned on after 5, and once the PSE&G guy came by, checked the stove and approved everything, we went and got the cats, who are mostly back to normal At Home status. I'm wiped and heading to bed soon.

AND WE ARE HOME but no cats yet; PSE&G guys have to get the gas turned back on, and then they have to get all the pilot lights relit, so we're not moving them and then immediately subjecting them to OMGSTRANGERS. So, as soon as gas is done, we will be COMPLETELY home.
