Alright. My 2026 goal is to sell 250 books this year. That's averaging just over 20 a month.

On one hand, I want the Packers to blow this game because it would be hilarious. On the other hand, the Bears losing would also be hilarious.

Attention Every Congressional Staffer: Immediately schedule visits for your rep to your ice facility in your area if there is one for every day from now until the end of their term and yes I mean schedule a visit every single fucking day
NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

It's a spin-off of the now-completed agirlandherfed.com web comic, which was *also* very good (lots and lots of funnies). Because it's a spin-off, I wrote a backgrounder at www.kithrup.com/~sef/DigitalDivideBackground.txt, which hopefully explains enough to jump into it.

500 more people contributing $20 would get this funded.
I believe those 500 people who would love this game--the rich story, the compelling characters, the gorgeous artwork--are out there and we can find them.
And if we can find them in about 60 hours, this can be funded!

Women of Xal II's Kickstarter is FINALLY up and running! Please share with your #VisualNovel friends who like their dark political mysteries, character studies, and cast of queer ladies.
First game is free during the campaign, of course.

Hey, everyone! We're at 270 backers altogether. At the lowest tier, we only need 560 more backers and the project succeeds. This is beyond doable! ITT, here's my opinion on how! Part 1/??

The amount of reposts is as insane as it is inspiring! <3 That said, we still need 510 backers of the lowest tier ($20) in less than 65 hours, or the campaign WILL fail! And we will receive not a cent of that money! Thoughts and prayers are appreciated, but backers are how we fund real artists!

Only 538 more backers until we've beaten the odds! Honestly even if this Kickstarter fails, the sheer love and support makes me want to give backers something as thanks. Other than the original game that's currently free anyway.

Like everyone gets a larger cut than THE AUTHOR. The CREATOR of the work. And the authors usually feel the most guilt over the rising costs.

Something I haven't talked about much since my move fell through is how much the fact that people in MN fight back with good morals. Seeing everything that's going on there sucks. Seeing how the ordinary people are reacting gives me hope -- and makes me wish even more I'd managed to move.
Can’t stop watching these videos coming out of MN of ordinary people refusing to move in the face of these homicidal power drunk petty tyrants. No matter what happens next, every time someone says no, the empire loses.
