I remember having a UBI. It was called “living with my parents,” and I had all my food/shelter needs covered, plus free access to a (shared) TV, music, books, a library card, cars I could borrow and more.
I still worked drudge jobs, because I wanted to buy lots of comics and take girls to movies.

Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"
But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

And if you have to do QE, you give it to ordinary people to pay off their debt rather than feeding it into the ravenous maw of the financial system; that’s better all round, in the end.
No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should
when its definitely not a hostage situation

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
...I'm probably safe, but there's going to be at least one international incident rising out of this...

(American) Robins are pretty enough birds, and they often pose nicely in bright sunlight, but every time I get a shot of one that's looking at the camera they always look pissed, or at the very least deeply disappointed.

I've done, idk, 15 or 20 of these little mannequin style torso drawings, and know what? Annoyingly? I'm much better at them after that few numbers of repeats than I was when I started. How annoying is that? #CatieDraws

...I've now had both @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social's OCTOBER GIRL graphic novel and @elfquest.bsky.social's new edition of the OQ book 4 delayed indefinitely by Amazon Ireland. Absolutely incredible. Not good. Just incredible.
I think I'll go back to using the German site.

Minimum necessary wordcount: 2381, overlooking the fact that I am 100% not finishing this at 80K. But I also don't have the moral fortitude to up the anticipated wordcount to what it probably is, not right now.
In point of fact I've done 3100 words so far today, but 2k was on another project. :p

I'm not entirely sure there is any lore. I planned to be a writer since at least age three. Possibly age two. And now I am. :)

the inconvenient thing about having blog subscribers to whom new blog posts are emailed is when i screw up and accidentally post something i meant to schedule, they all know about it. 🫣
