Hey all! Here's a thread of some of my favorite #Dimilix fics I've written over the years. You'll need an AO3 account to view them.

They also should have just said this aloud. I agree with this post, this is the wrong move, it was the opportunity to say "Trump is hurting you so much when all we're asking for is to make your health insurance less expensive." BUT - we just couldn't stand to see people hurt anymore is

1. The text for the Continuing Resolution and three Minibus packages for VA/MilCon, Ag, and Leg have been released, and they contain no anti-trans riders.
The danger is not fully passed though: big fights are shaping up for Jan 30.

The shutdown package must still get through the House of Representatives, and further fights on appropriations are expected by the new Jan 30 deadline.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.
Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.
Deals with this regime are meaningless.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

As many of you know, a handful of Dem Sens have voted on a CR that keeps the government funded until Jan 30, which would end the shutdown. For those watching for anti-trans provisions, there are none in the CR.
Senate Vets-MilCon, Leg, Ag minibus bills for FY26 have no riders.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is why some “Writing is torture“ memes always felt really off to me. Like, yes, writer’s block sucks and it’s okay to vent about it because writing can be very lonely. But some of those memes feel…defeatist?

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

I have said for decades that frustration is a good thing.
it's not even really something I see as something to 'tolerate' though I recognize that's a matter of perspective, but rather frustration is the symptom of you having standards and recognizing you want to close that gap between you and it

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Thinking about ninja festival alts for Dimilix. I think Felix needs to be the one in a mesh body suit with one leggie out, a thigh length tunic with no sleeves or the sleeves tied up and thigh highs and sandals on. Possibly as a bow unit that can move around the map unbelievably fast. High speed
