"Who's old bearded lady halfway up-mountain live-poetry responding in cold rage to modern daily geopolitics?"

"Some weirdo, painted nails. We scratched out all her stickers she put up around our neighbourhood, every one. Even her own truck. Glared, took photos sans consent. Ignore her. Crazy."

You're allowed to burn flags as free speech still? Or did the corrupt US Supreme Court overturn that precedent too?

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

Scalise refers to No Kings as the "Hate America Rally"

And I’ve never seen as powerful of a backlash as people deciding “fuck graffiti, we need to make this entirely disappear.”

Love to see people feel and act empowered.

Hell, balkanize Canada at this point anyways, all big important shit is already mostly Provincial, really. Just pay all the Federal income tax to Provinces & shift portfolios, then Alberta can go fuck itself over, & hopefully we can salvage BC systems. Granted we let Libs & NDP privatize everything.

McRaeWrites @mcraewrites.bsky.social · 3h

Nepo baby or not, what the actual fuck. Balkanize both Israel & the US at this point!

This is what Israel did to Greta.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me

• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked

• She was filmed while stripped naked

• Prison was 40 degrees but no water was given to Greta and her friends for days

• People fell sick. Guards mocked them saying they would gas them, showing them cylinders

• She was kept in solitary confinement for hours with bugs

Can I rent server processing space somewhere, wonder? Maybe I should just go look at server space & CPU processing, my website's is dogshit even on new provider, site's slow AF with like 6000 individual entries across every genre. This old streaming PC was hot in 2021, but CPU locked AF now in 2025.

Cockatrice froze again just even trying to xfer battles into mainboard. But Moxfield caps at 1k cards or some shit, so what can I use to keep building this cube hotlist for new Rainbow Bible Redux? Thinking might publish it as book but redirect to free e-version for cube list hosting I guess.

McRaeWrites @mcraewrites.bsky.social · 3h

Even with help of Word/Excel & Docs/Sheets, Cockatrice &/Or My Dogshit CPU can't handle even list trimmed down to 12-14k individual items after duplicates removal, but like most of it is stuck in sideboard, so have no idea wtf to do aside from "crowdfund new PC or CPU for Magic BS." Can't afford.

Goodnight, Void.
Take Me.
Does It Count?
Saving Survivors,
From Last Night's Nightmares,
But Waking Up Before They Ever Existed?
Or Will I Merely Face A New Monster?
Man, Machine, Horror?
Sunk My Own Broken Canines -
Into Much Larger Foes Than Self.
Dragons, Demons, Worse.
Felt My Flesh Burn Away.

Until Last Hawkings Radiation Fades.
Erases That History, Too.
Our Ghosts,
Watching.
Lightlessly.
Lidlessly.
I Remember This Darkness.
Void Of Voids.
The Numbing Of Depression.
Until Final Ends Sing Siren -
Seem As Slipping Away,
Into Blessed Forever-Slumber.
One I'd Never Wake Up From,
Ever Again.

Now Allowing Me -
To Stare Into The Depths Of Quasars.
Feel The Pull Of Gravity So Intense -
Not Even Light Can Escape.
"The Heat Death Of The Universe."
"Entropy."
The Black Eddies Left -
In The Pitch Dark At The End Of Time.
To Even Prove There Was Any Universe,
Any Big Bang In First Place.

McRaeWrites @mcraewrites.bsky.social · 20h

So Succumb.
Old Dog,
New Tricks.
Embracing Entropy.
As Certainty,
& Guarantee.
Assurance.
All Comforting Warmths -
Like Duvet Against The Negative Temperatures,
At Sea Level.
This & That.
That & This.
Many Different Representations -
Of The Same Thing.
Old Dissociations,

That Hungering Shadow.
The One That Sits Inside My Ribcage.
Vacuum Where A Heart & Lungs Should Be.
Void?
Goodnight.
& Goodnight,
Void.
Good Night.
Void:
This Emptiness Won't Last Forever.
Listen To -
Trust Your Past Self;
Name Of The Playlist:
"This Sadness Is Only Temporary."

McRaeWrites @mcraewrites.bsky.social · 20h

I Remember This Emptiness.
Even If It Hasn't Returned -
In Many A Year.
The Powerlessness?
Part Of It Now.
After Suffering Hate Crime After Hate Crime,
By The Most Powerful People.
So Rote,
Could Care Less For Pity.
It's Part Of The Void,
The Numb,
Now.
An Expectation.
This?

Whelp. One of the biggest transplant issues of blood typing possibly solved. Makes me happy that even if everything is fucked a few more people can live. If I die give my body to these guys. Not sure if O positive or negative, though.

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.
