Absolutely over the moon about this. If you've not read my HUGO NOMINATED book-length essay on Sandman, it remains free to all at www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-cud...

The US needs to change, to become a real democracy, not an oligarchical and dictatorial parody of one. If one leader elected by the elite minority can decide on laws and policy without actual checks or balances... It's not a democracy. Doubly so if the people's right the vote is infringed on.

@support.bsky.team, why is the block user function missing from our account? Why are scambots able to follow and repost us even if we don't allow that in our settings?

So, @safety.bsky.app, why is the blocking accounts feature missing? We get a bunch of hatebots and scambots following us, and we DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO BLOCK THEM.

This is the way

"Effective altruist" is a double oxymoron.

So @support.bsky.team, where is our account blocking feature? It's missing, and there's a bunch of scambots we need to block.

A photo-story about abolishing ICE because it has grown to be a menace on society, and needed to be removed to protect their health, and also public property. We wish it was that easy for the US to follow suit.

We love our job, so we try and try again to use our creative hobbies for running small events. Hopefully we'll get to do something bigger this year. No, not the mini-con during the Siege of Malbork fair. That one is already set in stone. Something that happens on a regular basis.

New page! howtobeawerewolf.com WE'RE BACK! With a side story about Vincent and Elias, because I need some space for these nerds to navigate dating that doesn't involve the Chapter 14 werewolf potluck from hell. #howtobeawerewolf

The response to the latest video has been lovely. The comments, aside from literally only 2-3 hateful ones out of hundreds, have been thoughtful, considerate, and insightful even when they disagree me.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, (...)" is a very fitting verse to describe the whole trumpian propaganda machine. And any fascist disinformation, since as we can now tell by looking at the shambling corpse of goebbelsian narrative looming at the keyboard of the US regime.

It's amazing how many synonyms for nazi they can crank out with a vocabulary as small as they can muster.

#meetthewebcomic Time to catch up on How to be a Werewolf! (howtobeawerewolf.com) Malaya Walters was bitten by a mysterious wolf as a child, leaving her human family to navigate her lycanthropy for decades. As an adult, she's faced with the opportunity to finally learn what she's capable of.

Low-effort paid tabletop RPG games have successfully displaced the traditional community gaming in Polish fandom spaces. At least on fashbook they did. Because of course every kind of leisure has to be turned into low quality products and monetized, even social storytelling games like RPGs.

"Assume a perfect AI" seems to be the starting point for all this. It's the "perpetual motion" or "free energy" of our age. And by all means, we can talk about it... When they actually have it, and not a day before.

"How can you conflate nationalists with nazis!? That's an attack on real patriotic folks!" First of, easily. Second, please explain what the word "nazi" is a shorthand for. We'll wait if you need to look it up.

@wtyppod.bsky.social, this is in your trackhouse. :)

@danielharper.bsky.social, @timescarcass.bsky.social, you're going to enjoy this one. One of the Polish parliamentary libertarianazis just got caught red-handed stealing a bunch of stuff from Ikea. Including a frying pan, because nazis have a soft spot for Swedish steel. ;)

We have managed to find a decent source on some etymology literally three months ago. It's impossible to find it now. Even when we still remember enough bits and pieces of the article that it should just pop up. Especially since it was the one source we could find (luckily it had a bibliography).

We smell a new @wtyppod.bsky.social episode... ;)

No wonder they're so desperate for, and afraid of killbots.

Tumblr witches, we salute you!

Who could be afraid of antifascists?

So this is where we work sometimes. Giving tours at the Malbork Castle was a part-time work, but has become more of a hobby for us, and all for the better.

lol @ the chicken but also i wonder what rowling makes of the times doctors do an abdominal scan or surgery on a man with testicles & unexpectedly find surprise ovaries in there

The problem of democracy is that it has rightwingers in it.

So, the Polish empty head of state just gave a pardon to a nazi who was given a slap on the wrist fine and community service for attempted murder. He tried to push a woman of the parliament steps (look up those). We can see trumpian style use of the mechanism taken roots... Thanks, the US... :/

This. The US is not a democracy. It just masquerades as one.

For those who need it today (even though we doubt anyone will see this), here's a few fancy retired Mascarons from the Malbork Castle lapidarium. May they lighten up your day...

To state the obvious, these people are heroes. They know perfectly well what the goon squad will be doing when they get there, and they're going anyway because goon squads need confronting.

You can hate him for your own reasons. The golden shitterfuher doesn't own your hate. The neoliberal right wing conservatives in the Democratic party don't own your hate. The media don't own your hate. You do, and it's rightfully earned by those whom it concerns. You keep that until they're gone.

We made this episode public so everyone could hear us live-react to the White House's berserk conspiracy website www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-tru...

Well, shit happened. Poland will have a nazi president.

So, what do we actually do here beside being a reply nonbinary? We don't know yet, probably some Cat's Stories links, maybe. And for sure some neat photos of the Malbork Castle and other interesting architecture. Especially Mascarons, we've bee spectrum-obsessed with them for a decade now...
