I like being Jewish and all but boy do I hate being attacked by my mom's friends for posting things that I believe. Look, all genocide is REAL genocide mmmkay?
I just watched this video, bought more booze, & showed my friends who run the bar I’m at here in Korea what has become of my hometown. I’m devastated.

[Lyn Venable, author of "Time Enough at Last" (If Magazine 1953) and “The Missing Room” (Weird Tales 1953), died on March 31, 2025, at the age of 97. Lyn was surely the last living person to have contributed to both the original Twilight Zone and the original Weird Tales. Last leaf on the bough.]

In better news, it looks like I have “officially” hit the 10lb mark of weight loss. The scale goes up/down sometimes (I weigh on kg) and it really seems to depend on lady hormones (wheee!) and how much water I drink, but…this number seems pretty consistent. So yay?
