Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

A very special late night *special*. For this weekend, any order over $75 can get these four Glacier prints included (four 4x6 prints - ask nicely & I’ll turn them into postcards for you)! The help-me-get-my-account-in-the-black special!

Our first known m/m romance is contemporary with the first Minoan palaces of Crete and the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, natch.

also if you judge me for my reading habits i will have you know that the epic of gilgamesh was ALSO contemporary m/m romance once. why do you hate the epic of gilgamesh you uncultured swine
ive been reading a few contemporary m/m romances and enjoying them bc it feels like being lightly concussed. and/or running everything through a magical realism filter. nothing makes sense but everything feels nice

The story told here--one where anecdata suggests agency and autonomy have run amok and nameless activists are to blame--certainly rhymes with the NYT's disastrous panic about trans kids. Then you realize it's literally being written by the same author.
Autism rates have increased in recent decades, but the reasons are more complicated than what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has presented. Hear more on today's episode of "The Daily." nyti.ms/480eqtm

Landlords called while I was at work. I ignored the call but just seeing the number on the phone caused enough anxiety that I hid in the bathroom for 10+ minutes to calm down. Home now, I still need to listen to the message but I'm going to try to unclench first.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

I think most of the things I hate about living in a society are, in fact, the fault of capitalism. It's pretty foolish to suggest the reason we don't have affordable healthcare, the wealth gap is widening, and we have a dozen disasters looming overhead is the result of "anti-bedtime leftists"

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.
