Take care of yourself today.
The world can be a scary, frightening, and cruel place. I know that.
If you're scared or hurting, if you're upset or afraid, I see you. Your feelings are real. Your emotions are valid. You matter. You make a difference in the world just by being here, by living, by dreaming, by being in the world. Your presence shapes the world around you, even if you can't always see how.
Always move towards the best and truest you, and trust that others see the work you're doing.
@shekkiesqueaks@computerfairi.es @KinkyKobolds Have you considered setting up a potion vendor near the entrance selling Reduce Person potions for tourists?
@mawr Three-egg omelette set just a little firm, filled with spinach, onion, and Parmesan or feta, topped with lemon tahini.
Frozen Take (Ninth Circle)
I haven't identified as American since September 11th, 2001. I wrote then that I was more afraid of my government using the attack as an excuse to slouch towards authoritarianism, and of the jingoists defending them in the name of patriotism, than I was of the terrorists.
Very little in the last sixteen years has challenged that emotional shift, and every mass shooting followed by "thoughts and prayers" with no meaningful gun control reform reinforces it.

@KawaSeadrake I can't blame you, or be mad at you for it. I watch news about most of America with the emotional engagement I read about Eastern Europe. Tragic, unfortunate, terrible, but not really relevant to me. In woo terms, the spirit of the country is diseased, and my cure was to cease identifying as American decades ago. I feel like a tourist living in a foreign country at home. It was that, or be perpetually heartsick.
@Fuego No guilt. Smash capitalism. *hugs*

Hey everyone, so to recap, we've all learned that Algol-like languages are pretty terrible to reason about, so let's do better in the next few decades, okay?

@literorrery Battery terminal was corroded and loose where I couldn't see it. A jump got me to the service station, they fixed it. Yard now has about ninety percent less blackberry vines and I have about a thousand percent more physical injuries.

Writing, Bad Idea
Great Work, I have had the worst idea.
A Gay Furry Harlequin Romance imprint. A publisher of furry gay romance stories written under a common imprint. I know there's the Cupcake series, but Sofawolf also puts out things that aren't Cupcakes. I'm talking "a furry gay Harlequin Romance publisher."
@Fuego We got better, sis. That's what matters.

@indi I still thing this is "Coyoting."

@Elizafox The piece it's attacking -- https://newrepublic.com/article/140948/bluexit-blue-states-exit-trump-red-america -- is actually pretty potent stuff. Don't eat it all at once, but do savor it.
