Oh, hey.

Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy".

Let that sink in.

Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

The Speaker Emerita of the Minnesota House was gunned down in her home and slaughtered along with her husband and dog, and Trump didn't say a thing.

Half-mast, my ass.

I always know when summer is really wrapping itself up when I find myself compelled to re-read TAM LIN by Pamela Dean. I don't read it every fall, but I've probably read it at least 20 times. The perfect mix of smart & cozy!

it's hard to know how serious this will be when the outcry from the right over a dead man is indistinguishable from the outcry when they changed the cracker barrel logo

Take some advice from someone who has seen this play many, many times before: this is the same old predatory publishing model, not some innovative step forward.

“We deduct our expenses before—“ No, that’s where you can stop reading, everything else is now irrelevant.
Screencap of a Bluesky post from @extraordinarybooks.bsky.social At Extraordinary Books, we believe there's a different way to do publishing. We're not afraid to re-think how books are chosen — that's why we're launching an Editorial Collective to help us find novels, memoirs, and more with a truly unique quality.

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around!

1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video"
2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

I hope the incident at the school in Denver gets more coverage than that guy. I realize that's unlikely, but I also wish the incident in Denver didn't happen in the first place.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

Thank you all for your support. I've been doing a ton of emotional labor over the past 48 hours and I will never be compensated for the time wasted.

A few people have asked about direct support and honestly, if you wanna send me some cash for treats or whatever, I'm game. V3nmo: @ dexanderson.

Only 40 days have passed since Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were tragically killed by an unhinged Trump supporter, yet this story has largely faded from national awareness. We must not allow that to happen.

A watercolor and gouache painting. Dark blue borders form an archway and in the center a bird flies upward into pink, watercolor clouds. The bird is carrying long strings of stars and the stars are falling from the strings to fill the grey-blue sky.

Leading conservative activist Charlie Kirk died Wednesday after being shot while speaking to students at a university in Utah. He was 31 years old.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle condemned the violence and called for prayers for Kirk and his family.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

I just really really encourage journalists— especially those who do investigative work— to look into Kevin Guthrie and what is happening at FDEM.

It strikes me as quite urgent.

Charlie Kirk spent his adult years in the public, loudly fetishizing guns, violence, hatred and other horrors. But he didn't deserve to die. He deserved to live a long life complaining and belly-aching that peace activists took his guns away. I wish he could have had that life.
