It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal It is 2025. I am at the kitchen table writing a canonical Bat-book but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

It should not be physically possible to be too sick to read books but not sick enough to avoid boredom. This has to violate some kind of laws about inhumane treatment. Where do I file a complaint against my body

We crossed the 60% mark on funding today!

Absolutely everyone deserves equal rights. Yes, even people who did ~that~ (for whatever value of "that" you feel should mean an exemption). The minute we move anyone out of the category of deserving rights, we make it worth bad actors trying to brand some people as being in that out-group.

I'll shout this out til the day it closes but seriously! If you love monsters and you love mating rituals, come back this project. We all worked really hard and I just KNOW there's gonna be something for everyone in it. #monsters #matingrituals www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

It's been less than 24 hours and we're already 50% of the way to our base goal! Help spread the word so we can reach our funding minimum and work toward our stretch goals!

I’m in!

InfoSec friends, don't forget to drink some water between every shot

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

I have a li'l somethin' somethin' in here: nonbinary/gender fluid plasm monsters need love too. And by "love", I mean threesomes that involve shapeshifting.

MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HARRELL TO CATCH UP AHAHAHAHAHA GET FUCKED YOU OL' JOBLESS CREEP!!!

Calling all monsterfuckers!

In 2015, a man commented "looks great!" on a picture of a cake his niece had baked, and that is the last normal thing anyone has said on the internet.

Yes. This world is still astonishingly beautiful When we pause to remember each other. #photography

This is new information for me, too. It's wild that the person who invented the most common reading education system in the US says point-blank that it doesn't matter if people don't actually read words, but just guess what they are. He says it's fine to see the word "pony" and read it as "horse."

One feature that would be extremely useful in job search tools is the ability to search by travel time/distance rather than as-the-crow-flies distance. 30 miles that includes 15 miles of water and an international border is very different from 30 miles on a freeway or train.

As much as I find common cause with my more radical friends I (reluctantly) oppose the hardline proposals to summarily incarcerate every ICE agent. I urge everyone to consider the centrist compromise of abolishing ICE

For those who’ve tagged us about the event in Bothell on Saturday, join and help get the word out about the decline to sign campaign!

Holy fuck, Seattle — check to make sure your vote’s been counted, this is a close one!

AUTHORS!! Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON? Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen. More here:

An anonymous donor just offered to match up to $1,000 to my fundraiser in support of health benefits for @scarleteen.com's staff and an as-needed health fund for volunteers, which means your $1 is worth $2! Anyone want to join in with ANOTHER match to turn that into $3?

I'm really glad I started following my local transit service on here. There's something very reassuring about seeing regular station elevator service updates amidst The Horrors

Absolutely this. Only change your party if you live in an open primary state. We need every vote to primary these fuckers. Also, don't register "Independent" because that's the American Independent Party. Register whatever variation of "no party preference" or "decline to state" your state uses.

please do not let your chance to pick up this EXCELLENT book get lost in my political rageposting #HorrorSky folks especially

Darth Vader has assured Lando Calrissian that Princess Liea and Chewbacca will be left under his supervision in Cloud City and that's good enough for Chuck Schumer.

I have anxiety. You cannot begin to fathom the number of things I am capable of worrying about simultaneously. #ShittySuperpowers

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies. Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

I was asleep, I got a question. The added bit banning abortion and trans healthcare federally... what happened with that?

they avoided talking about fascism all year by being like “healthcare healthcare healthcare” and then they blew up our healthcare??? and you think you’re entitled to my vote why exactly???

Schumer is either complicit or incompetent. Either way, he needs to go, and any Senator who doesn't immediately demand he step down is also complicit.

if there was a national day of cancelling your party membership over healthcare just to put the fear of god into them with some hard numbers, that’s where I think I’m at now it’s been coming on for awhile now, I simply don’t feel represented by this party even on the things they claim as priorities

I guess I need a job that comes with healthcare in the next month and a half or I don't get to *checks notes* keep breathing. All the plans that cover the one (1) inhaler that doesn't spike my blood pressure are $2k+ a month. Paying out of pocket would be just as bad. It's a fucking generic.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I cannot describe how much it feels like watching Charlie Brown with the football except somehow he’s pulling his own football away and Lucy’s just standing there.

It’s not mental illness to be anxious when people are fucking with your healthcare. It’s not wrong to be depressed when powerful people choose evil and suffering. Feeling things about a crisis does not mean you are broken, even if the crisis is perpetual!

I work at a soup kitchen, if, during this tough time when SNAP is not available, you need food. Please don't feel weird coming to us. We do not ask questions and understand everyone is having a hard time. We are here to help. The food is hot and fresh and we all come in early to help everyone.

I will also add: I can do this for evictions in Illinois too, if SNAP benefits being cut off or the government shutdown means you can't make rent.

DYINGGGGGG

We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but... The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us. "Fear is the mind killer" "Fear is a path to the Dark Side" etc. Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.

actually it is the doctor who is the dick-- *is yanked off stage by a cartoon hook*

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.
