Need new podcasts to listen to.
Preferably something reasonably light hearted.
Got lots of grim/scary ones on my list.
Limited comedies.
Too many comedies are about things I have no interest in.
And too many of the shows I listen to that started out darkly funny dropped the humour in later episodes.

Drafts? PseudoPod Towers was already full of those.

Oh, you mean the fractured whispers of half-spoken, unfinished words.

Yes, it’s full of those, too.

look I'm not saying that we live in any particular universe here, but "thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind" is becoming more and more appealing as a restriction on human activities.

Funny how quickly Labour supporters block you when you mention dead trans kids. Almost as if they're actually capable of shame.

And they aren't all crowing about it on social media, so let's not assume that all the people in hats and buttons passing out whistles are doing nothing else. People - "wine moms," "knitters," who else do you think has ready access to breast milk? - are working behind the scenes for good.
A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.
In Minneapolis, for every story detailing the fallout of the federal crackdown, there are as many stories of people like Bri, a mom donating breastmilk for babies whose mothers are detained by ICE.

Bri's story:

Remember how it was only the mad, over-empathetic, lefty gender-loons predicted this would happen?

Yeah.

Right, again. Ironically.
In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up
A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds.
-Kind is very different from nice. Be kind, and don’t worry about nice.
-The Thing in the Walls offered to make handkerchiefs for me out of cat fur. I declined, but thanked it for the idea.

Re: the backlash to "craftivism."

Stickering is cool and punk and floods the environment with our messaging.

The hats are not "performative"-- they're doing the same thing! But graffiti is seen as more male, knitting more female, and there you go.

Stupid gender ruining the party for all of us.
It's sexist too, I suspect, because knitting is such gendered work.

So, financially speaking, this last couple of years has kicked my ass. I've employed part-time and my food/housing are secure, but I am not in a position to meet some other necessary expenses coming this month. If you're so inclined & in a position to lend a hand, I would be very appreciative.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good
