BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million levered short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

Ordered him the expensive prescription food the vet wants him on permanently and he’ll need more meds on hand for future episodes. I’d had optimistic thoughts of getting a new rug and bedding at IKEA but now Christmas is cancelled, everyone’s gift this year is Shawn’s bladder NOT full of blood. 😭

In recent years, I’ve not done as much for National Coming Out Today, since it no longer seemed as necessary given the progress we’d made.

Goodnight from Sadie Stowen, making condensation sigils on the windows of the Red House Transport Cafe. Goodnight from Sarah Hartley, certain something from the silver nitrate glass negatives she handled at the Pentlow Archive has followed her home. Goodnight from Hookland.

The flaw with Manacled/Alchemised is that the unspoken sexual tension in the Harry Potter books wasn't between Hermione and Draco, it was between Draco and Harry.

Between this and 50 Shades of Grey starting as Twilight fic that whose entire premise was "what if Bella and Edward just fucked already," it's funny how this keeps happening
