I would settle for a total reworking of The House and His Boy tbh.
IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond says Greta Gerwig’s ‘NARNIA’ film will be a “cultural event” that is “going to change the world”
“This is not your mother’s or your grandmother‘s Narnia”

I just paid the internet and phone bills… I’m going to need help again this month. Mom’s phone bill is due, and I won’t have anything left for the rest of the month for food or electricity (heat and rent is paid, at least). Please donate or share. ko-fi.com/soniasulaima...

Maybe you don't want to play scoundrels engaging in activities that are criminal in the real world but maybe in a world this broken, only scoundrels could hope to fix things.

I do think Starmer thinking things were basically fine before does explain a lot tbh
Keir Starmer - "I’ve always wanted a Labour government but I’ve never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government."
The words of a man so insulated from the harm done by the Tories he felt no compulsion not to continue the harm not being done to him and his.

Having a gorgeous panic attack as week one of December comes to an end and I'm only at $40/150 & already behind because I got sick twice in November which piled on unexpected costs. Please share. Please toss a coin if you can. I'd be so happy for work if you got any!
Help a queer + disabled creative survive the AIpocalypse! I'm at $40/150 weekly goal. I've unfortunately been sick twice in the last month, so things are rough. I have a new WIP chapter up for monthly donations & plenty of classics for one-off or monthly support! Shares appreciated! #mutualaid

In whites for the next nine days to honor Obatala, one of 17,000 Yoruba deities. Obatala's name translates literally to "owner of white cloth." He owns our bones. He dwells in clouds, on mountain tops, and in commitment to good character.

That's correct.
I've been told Sameer Project is the "gold standard" for sending aid to Palestinians. Of many projects, this one is to keep Gazans warm this winter: shelter, warm clothing, blankets. Now they're in tattered tents w nothing, w/ Israel blocking aid entry despite ceasefire.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.
