personally i think shouting into the void is probably a frightening experience for the void. maybe that’s why the void won’t answer back and you’re all alone? just a thought

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Hi hello I am an American citizen with a very intense knowledge of the first amendment.

Apparently people who are not American cannot say Charlie Kirk "devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynist rhetoric."

I fact checked it.

Charlie Kirk devoted his life to that.

Jail me.

Marc Andreessen is doing in Tennessee something similar to what Tanner is trying to do in Texas. Lawmakers here are fine with it, or course, because it’s a white Christian nationalist project.

Ken Paxton just filed for an injunction to prevent Malcom Tanner from letting people live on his property. What happened to Texas, a place where you could do what you wanted on your own property?

I know y’all mean well, but think about the signaling when you talk about Black folks and then say “instead they get … ordinary people.”

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 20h

instead they get grandmas, and priests, and inflatable frogs, and ordinary decent people rising up and saying "this is vile, this is unamerican, these are secret police"

they get kristi noem in a staring contest with a guy in a chicken suit

Anyway I keep forgetting to yell about this book when it is 🍂seasonal 🍂 but THE APPLE-TREE THRONE (a little vanity project I self-pubbed in 2018) is also available on Kobo and in audio!

A young soldier returned from war is haunted by the ghost of his commanding officer (a posh git)

Hello, I am at $60/$200 that I need for upcoming rent and some urgent bills, if you can share that's a big help, thank you!

Kivan @kivanbay.bsky.social · Jul 2

Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

As a former bookseller I support this take.

Charlotte Moore-Lambert @charlottereads.com · 1d

this is only literary opinion adjacent but it is definitely unhinged

when I am stocking copies of a face-out book at the bookstore, I will put the fresh copies behind any copies already on the shelf, because they’ve been waiting their turn to be picked and I don’t want their feelings to get hurt

Fun fact, in the original text of Exodus, the plural form is not used. It’s not a plague of frogs. It’s a plague of frog. A plague of frog that will cover all of Egypt. Frogzilla. One Kaiju frog.

I am FINALLY doing the beading/detailing for the murder mermaid gown based on @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Into the Drowning Deep, and while the good news is I'm obsessed with how it is coming out, the bad news is that it will require me hand-sewing every single bead in the known universe by Nov 5

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.
