With a little under a week to go until I launch this year's advent calendar, I thought I'd share the first chapter with Patrons ahead of time alongside a cheeky cover reveal.

The Overton Window has shifted and increasingly wanton overt bigotry and evil are mainstream. Don’t accept it. Fight and defy people like this.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

This is what pisses me off about the current higher ed crisis. The humanities always take the fall for structural failures of admin or low enrollment.

We already have to justify our own existences bc STEMy depts and admin refuse to learn what we do!!
Where I work, grad student enrollment in Engineering and Business is down 70% and 40%, respectively.

Now, to cover the loss in revenue from these Departments, the rest of the colleges have to take MASSIVE hits. History Dept alone has cut/closed 6 TT lines. Forget about raises or salary equity. 🫠
Enrollment by international students from China dropped by 3 percent, from India by 4 percent, and enrollment from students from Mexico has flatlined. Here are the likely consequences for Texas' education and economy:

I play Fortnite sometimes because I have a young nephew who loves it. Maybe you're in the same boat. Take it from me: That is not an excuse to keep playing, it's a reason to talk to your kid/nibling/etc... about why you will be taking a break from the game, and suggest other things to play together.
I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Why are billionaires buying up media outlets?

As a media mogul, you can effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of yourself and other plutocrats and discouraging any attempt to tax away your wealth.

Abolish insurance. Completely eliminate even the need for it.
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.

How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage

Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

Still raising funds to save us before work kicks in next year. Still a lot on our plate. But we are fighting for it. Tess will likely never take commissions again, so my job is to make sure we get the back log out and everyone has access to digital versions of her work.
Guess who has two thumbs and has to raise 1k by the 28th And 3k by the 10th? Work will not begin again for me until next year so I have to try to save us while also handling shipping and re-lettering. We need help. Storage is at risk first. New sales incoming.

Stalking kills. I am, by every possible measurement, a statistical anomaly because few people survive being stalked for a decade like I was.

Stalking is femicide in slow motion.

I wanted to show that there is nothing at all unusual or surprising about trans magical girls. There’s a bunch! Why wouldn’t there be, y’know? We’re girls! And we have big hearts and feelings about it. (the adult Jade makes this point in Full Bloom, in fact!)

Take your HRT and let’s go save people!
Magica Riot isn't the first magical girl story to feature supernatural validation of a trans woman's gender, but it IS the first story I've seen that says "Trans women becoming magical girls isn't just possible, it's COMMON"

It's still wish fulfillment, but like, on a societal level

"Death of the Author" doesn't mean separating the author's bad behaviour from their art. It means taking away their authority and allowing readers to interpret the art based on their own perspectives. It doesn't absolve the author of being a bastard, in fact it may inform how you interpret the art.
