i have some friends who could benefit from internalizing this

(i implemented this practice in the oughts when i started to feel less safe in public for *reasons*... it's helped immeasurably)

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

400 left to go!

Denice (Dee), the Red Witch @deetheredwitch.bsky.social · 14h

Okay. One day left to get funds in for my overdue rent, and roughly 700 left to go on it. Sucks, but, well, it is what it is, and I'm asking for help.
If you wanna just donate, you can do that right here: paypal.me/tormentedart...

But anything, including just sharing this around helps a ton.

Another three pages and 2k and change words today, which if you know me and process/progress is pretty big. Time to break for a bit.

Today's queer indie Skeletal Season rec: Saltbrook, by @deetheredwitch.bsky.social. MC is ace (yay, representation!) and it's one of those books where supernatural horror is pitted against the horror that people perpetrate on each other (and, I would argue, loses). Check it out!

I'm proud to call myself a trans woman, which is arguably an emergent broad identity that I share with many other transsexuals who have experiences both in common with and unlike mine, who have faced different forms of erasure and visibility, and who are writing their own stories right now.

Good Morning, World.

Two street signs, the first which says 'pullout' and the second just below it is cut off by the frame so we only see the word 'no'.

It takes 67 Senators to impeach a SCOTUS justice but only 51 with sufficient will to add 6 more justices

There's some pretty incredible stuff here. Look at this!

A leather mask of a Cthulu-type figure with tentacles, four horns, and eye-holes with large webbing over them. The mask is brown and gold and luminescent, with a triangular symbol on the forehead with an eye painted inside it. The background is an artfully arranged pile of dark red and red-brown leather strips.
