As I was preparing my latest newsletter, I went in search of a comprehensive list of supports for people contemplating suicide.

I found a great one for the US & Canada here, from a fellow anti-capitalist/anti-carceral therapist named kaitlin baldwin:

I have to constantly remind myself that sometimes my sarcasm doesn't land on the internet with people I don't know in IRL. It's easy to forget. Alas. Yes, potholes.

In other news, I recently rented a '57 Ford Fairlaine convertible to drive my dad around in. Not having power steering is HARD

I woke up today having more thoughts about how this film really needed more women involved at every stage

you can also use Hoopla in some areas for this same purpose. I always start with those two. And some libraries don't require you to live in their area to be a member!

it's so assanine to me that the administration who tries to say meritocracy over DEI only ever promotes nepotism

I think about this all day

I mean, I was attempting to be playful. I didn't understand why you'd have to be a man to enjoy classic cars, so that's the concept I was attempting to play with

Presence
I’m always here for a haunting, especially if you give me some beloved actors. Enjoyed.

I will once again ask for more women horror writers.

In the case of this film, they coulda really used someone who understands teen girls

Sorry, I wasn’t being that serious

M3GAN 2.0 (she/her) @americanmegalo.bsky.social · 1d

I’m a woman into classic cars, am I some kind of problem?

M3GAN 2.0 (she/her) @americanmegalo.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks for the reminder to go back. I loved it but maybe need to watch as a first show of the night for max ability to switch language hearing
