Yeahhh it wasn't a pleasant realization. I liked it more when I thought it was generically ominous 😅

I think the tricky part is phrasing it in a way that isn't immediately obvious to said terrible husband, honestly. If it's too overt it could make things really unpleasant.

I'm doing this too! I had that same initial reaction, but then I had the depressing realization that it's actually a *reassurance* that is primarily aimed at women with terrible husbands who are afraid he'll find out that she voted for the Dems :( he can only find out IF you voted, not for who.

cleaning headstones seems like it should be easy but it's deceptive! especially stones that are already in bad shape (marble melts like sugar over time) or have biological growth like lichen

The common denominator in all of these stories--predetermined outcomes, iffy data and bogus metrics, the torching of campus communities--is consultants, most prominently the rpk group. There's only one reason these firms are engaged by admins. They only know one "solution."

Note to authors, @draft2digital.bsky.social (who until now I *have* been using as an ebook distributor, and who *have* been doing a good job, and who also own Smashwords) have a survey about "AI" use at at draft2digital.wufoo.com/forms/d2d-ai... I think you should fill in. Like this.

Clip it and run it as an ad in every battleground

Absolutely INSANE to watch Democrats get football in the national divorce over the past year!!

No thoughts, just thinking about Slimey, his adventures in Paris, and him getting to meet the GOAT herself

We should attack transphobia head-on simply because it is a disgusting ideology, but if that's not enough for you, it's a system of control that stems from a patriarchal assumption about what a woman "should" be whose natural end is rigid gender roles upheld by state violence. Which seems bad!

ADHD meds are the horseshoe nail that cause a kingdom to be lost.

Not being able to get Adderall since December '23 caused issues with my other meds. In a domino of side effects, this caused an infection that slowly ate away at my upper jaw. Repeated misdiagnoses meant 6 months of pain, 6k in dental bills. Not so hard to imagine a timeline in which I went septic.

Listen, I don’t particularly like Hillary Clinton. But the image of her standing on that DNC stage and listening to a thunderous chant of LOCK HIM UP?

Yeah, I enjoy that, I unironically love that for her

Started playing Fields of Mistria (shoujo Stardew clone), wanna shout out both this game and also original Stardew for agreeing with and validating my belief that 2AM is a perfectly reasonable time to go to bed and will definitely give you enough sleep to keep your stamina up

It's kind of funny how many senior staff and columnists at two legacy newspapers are super mad the Harris-Walz campaign won't grant them interviews while so many other people are like "I bet the Hot Ones interview will be super interesting, Tim Walz will probably just be dying the entire time"

nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked

people will remember:
- how many squid facts you knew
- if you offered others squid facts
- how you made people feel when you told them a squid fact

Hey, science fiction writers. A request to make.

Normally it's unethical to discuss a story we didn't buy. But years later, there's a "one that got away" I still think about, and I REALLY want to know who wrote it.

Did YOU write about space snails taking over the anglican church?

the biggest fairy tale adults tell themselves on the daily is they're not one medical emergency or layoff or divorce away from being homeless

—eliminate incentives for corp landlords buying homes in bulk
