I think we should take Miette's approach to sentencing here
Table with stickers, pins, etc with lots of people around it
Tons of happy people around the trinket trade table
Another table with a picnic blanket and even more stuff and people
Trinket Trade @ GDC, right now at the Yerba Burna picnic tables!
If you want the youth to pick up the fight you have to let them.

My blood pressure's too high to give blood. UGH. Definitely won't spend the rest of the day stressing over that.
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

β’ Veterans who were discharged from the uniformed services due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. - They do not need to live in Washington. - They do not need to enter school within a certain amount of time after separating from the military. - They maintain resident student status as long as they stay continuously enrolled. - Does not apply to veterans who have a dishonorable discharge from the uniformed services.
TIL that military service members who were discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity qualify for in-state tuition rates in Washington regardless of their residency!

Informal poll--for audiobook listeners, do you hold it against narrators who don't do voices for each character?
Minnesotans still need your help, folks. (I figure anyone following me knows this, but . . . I remind anyway. Spread the links around.)
Lolsobβimagine a world where Diane Wynne Jones and Diana Duane were THE Famous Wizard Writers and JKR is crowdfunding for heating oil. Probably that timeline has different presidents and less warcrimes too
Hawaii: you're up. Call your House representatives and tell them to oppose SB 2761, which is heading to the House from the Senate: it's a total ban on social media for under-16s, not made any better by the obvious typo in the effective date of 2077. legiscan.com/HI/bill/SB27...
I don't want to hear "Robin Hood live-action remake" unless I see Alan Tudyk in a fursuit.
And if you happen to like family curses, wildflowers in Death Valley, and stories that make you cry (I have the last on good authority) then you too may enjoy my weird little novella!
Wildflowers, a couple of springs ago, in the churchyard in Buckfastleigh, Devon. This is actually a very spooky spot in winter as it's the resting place of the allegedly Satanic Squire Richard Cabell - inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's Baskerville legend - whose corpse is boxed in by a somewhat incongruous structure, a little pagoda-ish, but also not unlike the kind of public toilet you might find in a small British town, which sits on the south side of the church. Do NOT walk around it backwards as the Devil will bite your fingers and Cabell will release his hell hounds. Also, the church has been burned down by Satanists not once but TWICE in the last couple of centuries. (I wrote about all this in more detail in my book 21st-Century Yokel, and a couple of the scarier gravestones inspired bits in my novel Villager.
Wildflowers love dead people.

I keep trying to pull a quote out of this, but I want to quote the entire thing. Read up and get wiser.
The publishing industry needs to get better. We've got to make it so.

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.
I have not checked goodreads. That one, I think I can keep from peeking at. Too scary.

(Not sure how I forgot this?? But again, previously concussed)
Jeeeezus, it's not wonder I couldn't write while concussed, this shit is hard even under normal circumstances
It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Motherforking CONSEQUENCES, please!
Few english speaking writers other than Ursula K Le Guin could even come close to her complete understanding of the human condition, and she wrote exclusively sci-fi and fantasy for 60 fucking years.
If youβre stroking your chin and telling people to calm down because this will hurt Trump in the midterms, you need to log off and check into hospice with your terminal case of pundit brain
