Happy Labor Day, all! Remember that we owe the weekend, the minimum wage, and health and safety laws all to the labor movement, strikes, and rioting.

The fight for better material conditions must continue.

Willy Wonka as played by Gene Wilder is a Faerie Lord, Possibly King Oberon in Disguise, subjecting mortal children to morality tests in order to determine a worthy successor to his throne.

And I'm willing to die on this hill.

"Anthropologists gradually fanned out into the world and began directly observing how economies where money was not used (or anyway, not used for everyday transactions) actually worked.

What they discovered was an at first bewildering variety of arrangements, ranging from competitive gift-giving to communal stockpiling to places where economic relations centered on neighbors trying to guess each other’s dreams. What they never found was any place, anywhere, where economic relations between members of community took the form economists predicted: “I’ll give you twenty chickens for that cow.”

Hence in the definitive anthropological work on the subject, Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey concludes, “No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing”"

Adorable dog moment of the evening: he's asleep in Soreth's room. I peek in and he wakes up and IMMEDIATELY wants to play tug of war.

And does so while blinking slowly like he's about to fall asleep again.

Sending this to Seattle Parks and Rec's open comment email address. If you're in the Seattle Area and feel like having a safe space for everyone to enjoy swimming is a good thing, Speak up! They won't bring it back if they don't hear about it needing to exist!

Hello!

I wanted to speak up in support of the All-Gender Swim Events! I haven’t had a place to go swimming and this program was a wonderful, inclusive, and welcoming safe space for me and a lot of my friends as well! I know with the COVID-19 safety measure currently in place that having the pools open is not currently feasible. However, I want them to continue when the pools re open. So I’m writing in so that you know there is a need for this in your community and we are all grateful that this step was taken. I hope you will continue with the All Gender Swim, and I feel that the program should be expanded! This was a good thing, and I don’t want it to be dropped.

Hey, I'm Violet. I'm an autistic dissociative schizo bipolar trans girl who was homeless for all of last year and have only been able to have a room by living with my grandmother. This pandemic has made getting a job with my qualifications and mental state impossible.

I have no source of real income. Recently, I have entered into sex-work via OnlyFans, and I am having trouble getting steam with it b/c of a lack of spoons to constantly upkeep my appearance, and no money for makeup and outfits.

I am trying to get a degree online for cybersecurity work so I can finally support myself remotely. In order to fund this I've made a Ko-Fi if you would like to support me more over time, or perhaps would like some other kind of service than sex-work (I can do sysadmin, voice acting, coding, pentesting, and even teach you how to do any of those!)

Links to my OnlyFans and my Ko-Fi are both on my profile. For an alternative, there's:

Thank you so much 💜

Urban fantasy needs more dragon protagonists, dammit

M'aiq does not care if you are a necromancer, and this is your area of expertise. You do not go around telling people there is a skeleton living inside them. M'aiq has not slept well for a week!

Hi, firstly we're an ADHD disabled white trans plural system in Baltimore county MD. We have a cat and are stuck under our abusive parents.

We need someone to take us in because we can't really get out any other way, we can't drive or work. Living here has been extremely detrimental to our mental health, and we really needed out a long time ago.
It's rough rn but if you can have us please, heck even if you need another person to drive us there.

Happy Birthday, Jack Kirby!
Here's some of his concept art for the unproduced "Lord of Light" movie, based on Roger Zelazny's book.
