Grimm (Probably Not Escaping Samsara)

*goes mad with power*

It feels like the world is crumbling around my ears, but then I read something like this, and remember when I had to search for hours to find the angelfire shrine with a thinkpiece about whether having sex with Zelgadis would hurt. *Wipes away tear* Horny freaks on the Internet have come so far.

My own surgery date looms, and it's really nice to read stuff like this right now.

This is a very good tutorial. I used it and got something up on the web! Something that has space for a gallery, even! ...It's still just the freaking template and I haven't had the breathing space to edit it yet but it's on the web. BIG progress!

I was feeling pretty pissed off about the Google maps thing, but then I realized that the inclusion of 'a' changed the Great Lakes mneumonic to 'SHAME' That's pretty funny.

Smart people tell me I should post about my book every day, not just when I have new pages. So this is the cover of the collection I will debut in less than a month at SPX. Read this one for free or support me for cheep as I create Part 2 ALL BY HAND on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeed...

Good evening, Blacksky.

Oh. Well this was heartbreaking and gorgeous. <3

Took today and allowed myself to do absolutely fuckall with it. I needed to not be a human being for a minute. Here's hoping tomorrow's better.

Happened upon this wild film that is notable for the animation but also the rather trippy soundtrack. I thought this might appeal to @johncoulthart.com but after searching feuilleton, he is already on the case Chris James - "After Beardsley" 1981 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfof...

It's small and stupid compared to everything right now, but...I'm about three months out from losing my MIL. Which means that I am moving to rural Michigan by year's end. I have to start all over, in a place I did not want to go. Again. I'm so heartsick.

I think about this a lot.

I am truly honored and humbled to be Minnesota’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Thank you, Minnesota – for everything.

every single time

That sound you hear is Minnesota loudly saying FUCK ICE

GET IN THE CENTAUR, SHINJI

Spent tonight looking over candidates for the upcoming primaries with my spouse. This is a link that will help you find out if you're registered, who is on your ballot, and where to go vote, if you're in Minnesota. mnvotes.sos.mn.gov/voterstatusc...

My sister in law had an inspired idea to make cold brew coffee yesterday, so I got to try cold brew coffee with condensed coconut milk, ice, and barista blend oat milk for the first time this morning. *Weeping gently* It works. It WORKS! Omg I missed these. Take that, lactose intolerance!

Okay but holy shit this is good design. Take your trophy and go. >8(

"verify your age" I had a pass/fail class in college where the final assignment required you to render all the projects you had made in Maya into 3-point angle, short animations, compile them into a reel with a dynamic soundtrack, and then burn it onto a VHS. If the tape played, you passed.

So I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.

There was a -delightful- fellow in a creative writing college class who told me that the character who gave a suicidal child a seed to plant and nurture so she could grow up with it and find out what it became, should be the one who burned that tree down later in the story as an act of "tough love".

Maga taking shelter in the National Museum of African-American History And Culture!

I’m not tired of the Reflecting Pool Jello models everyone took to their relatives’ houses for the 4th yet. They’re so creative! Although this one I’d prob not eat. A bit too realistic.

Yeah that was WAY MORE EXCITING than I wanted that drive to be Sky Gods are going hungry tonight.

This is just to say, I'm driving home in the middle of a thunderstorm, on boom holiday, juuuust after sundown. If you don't hear from me again, sky gods probably ate me.

And the fire department, and wildfire crews. Hogod. Thank you for your service on this holiday where a bunch of people get drunk and handle explosives carelessly.

Gotta work today. My job is feeding people. For everyone working EMT, ER, prosthetics, and plastic surgery, you're in my thoughts.

Here's a list of all kinds of medications that may interact with heat leading to a higher risk of overheating/heatstroke. Please take care of yourselves and if you have friends/family who take these medications make sure they know the higher risk. ❤️

God this is such a good music video. <3 I haven't watched it in way too long.

I just reread these. They're still fantastic.

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

This thread is incredible. "Back in my day we didn't have cellphones, so we built siege weapons out of garbage, set things on fire, and punched each other to pass the time." I'm reminded of the boy scout who built a nuclear reactor in his backyard.

Oof. Lost one of our hens to heat today. Putting the AC up in my room and putting frozen bottles of water in their coop to try to prevent any other losses. Poor dainty.

Oh. Oh, I love this. YES.

Reposting this because I went on the 27th, and I had a fantastic time. And, yeah. I felt safer as a queer person. The Loring Park Pride was fine, lots of artists worth supporting and fun to be had -- but this was where I felt like I was -at Pride-. I KNEW people here. I ran into friends, here.

I got a good chuckle out of this.

odd to see the “FREE BIBLES” people talk to members of the church of satan after they conducted an un-baptism at twin cities pride.

As the glitter and the adrenaline wears off, I'm left with an interesting pair of memories: Kobey Layne was there, herself, at the alternative Pride. She smiled and greeted people as they passed. Amy Klobuchar's -volunteers- were running a very nice tent at TC Pride, full of pretty merch.
