It’s a pastiche of isekai where the protagonist gets stuck in a VRMMO and slowly turns into a horny monster. If that sounds like your jam, I guess maybe check it out?

The illustrator of the Rider-Waite tarot deck was a mixed race black woman of Jamaican descent. Her name was Pamela Coleman Smith.

Would be nice to see that piece of info be more widespread.

If you've been doing good these last two weeks and been out protesting (or otherwise have any reason to supect you were exposed), I highly recommend getting tested.

'One of the main jail support people who's been putting in crazy hours working on tracking people in the jails and getting people out of jail all week has just had their laptop officially die. It gave its life for a good cause. Anyone have a decent laptop to donate? We already have someone to bring it to them! @emthomasatl if you have any leads!'
portland protests, important, pls boost+++
UPDATE: ive heard portland may be using LRADs as well
portland folks: be prepared with ear protection !!!
LRADs emit sounds exceeding 140 dB
exposure to sound waves above 90 dB causes permenant damage to the human ear
BRING EAR PROTECTION
STAY SAFE 🖤

When this is all over, some of you may get a jury duty summons. Go. There will be protester cases. Helping protesters is most effective inside the courtroom.
You'll likely be asked if you are capable of processing the facts the case without bias either way. And your response is yes. Of course you are.

asking for help to get away from an abusive living situation, boosts needed
does anyone nearby (i'm in riverside county, in southern california) have a place i could stay in the near future? like, a couch i could sleep on? not yet, but it looks like things are gonna go to shit pretty soon no matter what i do, so it'd be nice to have an escape plan ready. my parents have been incredibly abusive since i moved back in with them, especially since they found out i was trans. today they went into my backpack and took all my hormones, and that's only the tip of the iceberg of the bullshit they've put me through. at the end of next month they wanna take me to mexico and i wanna be gone before then. please help.
unwell (but not with that), guilt, body please don't
Did a (slightly more than) half day at work today because my guts have been Unhappy and.... of course I feel guilty about it. When was the last time I actually used a sick day? I don't even remember.
Time for the most neutral lunch possible and we'll see how the afternoon goes.
(No, it isn't THAT. Day before yesterday was not wonderful but faded out eventually, yesterday was fine, today is not - has to be something I'm eating)
