I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Southern oregon is a cesspool...scenery is gorgeous, but the people are down right evil. I have never experienced the kind of cruelty I see regularly here.

This week I've seen things I hope never to see again & have learned who should have been caring for this lil guy. He was abandoned when a neighbor moved a month ago. I will be finding them. While we wait for vengeance Isaac is scheduled for shots & neutering. He's going to be okay.

I am sitting at the emergency vet on a sunday, losing money not being at work and paying money I already don't have to try and save a cat that someone could not be bothered to care for. I am sad, angry, financially fucked, and most importantly going to find out who neglected him.

I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

Friends, can we all block and report @scuba-diving-5.bsky.social — they are pretending to sell my stuff on merch (check their replies tab), but it’s a credit card number theft scam. Hopefully nobody got ripped off, but if you did, call your credit card company ASAP.

i had a conversation earlier about what to charge for commercial commissions that reminded me i had a calculator for that sitting around in my google drive, so i've edited that into a template and tossed it on my ko-fi for PWYW! ko-fi.com/s/bc6f316116

For those who may not be familiar w/ the term, giving up "moral rights" means they don't have to credit you, & can alter any part of your work w/o permission. Along w/ the other terms, it basically makes a freelance gig into Work for Hire, the artist or writer giving up all rights in their work.

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

At a press conference outside 26 Federal Plaza, immigrant advocates and family members of those detained gathered to raise awareness about the arrests. They urged immigrant New Yorkers who have received a “call-in letter” from DHS to get legal help before their appointment.

Advertising a Trump knife is certainly a choice.......

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ken Paxton says Trump is the greatest president of his lifetime (privately he's been blaming Trump for the struggles of his campaign)

I think in every relationship you should be offered an option of a cage match to the death every 10yrs. The best part...the first few decades not many couples would do it, but when Edgar & Lucille are finally done after 50yrs we get geriatric death match. Yes, I say put that shit on pay per view.

The same SOB who said I was "too drunk & belligerent" to play WOW back in 2008, because I had the nerve to ask what the hot bar buttons did when had me try to play on his acct, is now trying to convince me to get him a new copy of wow so he can play wow forever...I have some feelins bout this y'all.

I stood in line at midnight to get the wrath of the lich king for this fool. I have done my service to this bullshit and will no longer participate.

This right here...and when an author I already love is talking about books they like? You bet ur sweet ass I'm gonna go grab a copy.

Jukka Särkijärvi@nitessine.bsky.social

The idea of authors being in competition with each other is bizarre to me. Books aren't cars. We don't get just one.

now this is unscientific. I didn't tell every romantic partner whether or not I owned a sword. ladies don't necessarily want to hear that. they want to hear i make a mean tiramisu

I used to sell weed to a guy who looked just like this...he swore he was going to take the OR legal system down for making him have license, regist., & ins. to drive. He was "learning law" to do it (on his own, no one would teach him). Haven't seen him in a min., wish I could remember his name.

My grown ass was at the store & they had those coloring kits half off (y'all know the ones w/the travel case). Today is my friday. I was promised when I grew up I could have cake for breakfast & there's a giant slice in my fridge. I am finally going to live like six yr old me anticipated I would!
