Iβm on the lowest possible dose and I feel like it gave me my life back
Tbh Iβve read so many horrors online about duloxetine. But Iβm happy it works good with me.
I was so scared to start but it does work really well after I got used to it!
Happy for your husband!
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

Decent Americans are going through the same pipeline we, anti-war Russians, went with Putinists.

One month on duloxetine and I feel like Iβm starting to feel alive again. Iβm definitely recovering. I have more energy. I have ideas for art.
I still sleep like Iβm trying to compensate for years of sleeping with nightmares but it does seem to help me recovery A LOT
Between this and the Epstein connection, I'm actually starting to believe that theory from a few months ago that being virulently anti-trans invites spiritual corruption.
This zine was born out of the desire to fight queer art censorship.
We even got a Kickstarter warning that exposed breasts (non-sexual, same youβd see in any art museum!) makes our project βat risk adult content.β
Itβs so important that we fund so we can keep creating uncensored print projects!
A screenshot of the Kickstarter funding page, showing 14,441β¬ funded out of a 27k goal. Part of the header graphic is also visible, showing a demure MΓ©tis Indigenous man in a forest, with a historical decorative font set reading "We've Always Been Here."
We're almost to β¬15k!! Let's hope we can get there soon, so we can get closer to making this queer history zine from @taplingzines.bsky.social a reality! π

You don't hate payment processors enough. You don't hate them enough
I absolutely recommend!
The new CSP update is FIRE!
Finally, the quickshapes! OMG! YES!

This feeling of not being able to formulate as clear as youβre used to in your language is so annoying sometimes
Sometimes I feel utterly caged in the confinement of having to speak a foreign language, let alone write in it on topics that would not be quite easy to articulate even in my native tongue, but in a foreign one? Oh, damn...the struggles of being an immigrant both geographically and culturally.
how Fennel got it all wrong, and so many people get it all wrong and how I wish they didn't but they do and I'm not smart enough to explain and ugh...
Well, I'm lucky I have my man who tolerates me, really
Me: infodumping my husband on how it's important to understand the impact of Darwin and Aristotle and Decartes, and Chartism on Emily Bronte's book, and how important it is that Heathcliff is no only dark skinned but is poetically and symbolically associated with a canine and with dogs and
Iβm SO proud of this!!

SHUT YOUR DOOMER ASS UP & REGARD LIFE AS PRECIOUS ENOUGH TO DEFEND, SUNSHINE!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on
NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert

Sorry for quoting in English, I do understand French, but it was easier for me to find it in English. (Even though I've read Baudelaire in Russian, lol the struggles of multilingual cultural existence)

As someone who always loved "The Man Who Laughs" apart from all the more famous stories by Hugo, I couldn't agree more
OH YES
I will die on a hill that says romanticism was never intended to be socially conforming and emotionally sanitised. It's the other way around.
BTW the 2026 is still awful and abysmal, just to make sure everyone knows I said this and will keep on saying this.
And I'm not even going into all the depth of the societal themes, the incredible poetry this text is, the revolutionary approach to storytelling, because as important as they are, they are not my point here.
But I just really love romanticism in its true form, and I'm angry it's being erased
