Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Austerity approaches to programs and services are NOT fiscally responsible. They promote the very government waste that they are purported to solve.
And that's the point. to make government less effective and undermine public support in public governance

An excellent thread, and one I'm gonna sit with as we ring in the new year
When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

Also omg she loves Sadie. Normally Sadie is a bit too much for tiny kittens, but we've been working on it. She is trying to nurse on Sadie though which is a mite confusing for the puppy.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Got to catch up some with a friend whose voice I haven't gotten to hear since 2017
It was super friendly, and has already made my week during a time of year I tend to particularly struggle with <3

Clesned and rearranged tech + furniture in my office so I can dedicate my old PC to being my editing + authorial admin space
Except I broke a sweat in the process
And had an allergic reaction to said sweat
I do not recommend developing hives + contact dermatitis under one's tits

Good news on the edits!
I fixed the fucky chapter without having to break out the machete!
Hopefully I can wrap up edits tomorrow, then I can get back to drafting book 2 while waiting for the next round of feedback

I am still jazzed as fuck about the round of beta feedback I just got
Edits are proceeding well, and I'm feeling good about a key rewrite choice
That all said, it's looking like it might take a bit longer for the book to see the light of day, but with less time between it and sequels

I need the fatigue end of the ick to finish up and gtfo
I've got plenty to do as-is
Beta feedback edits (which might result in a minor rewrite on like 3 chapters) and cover art references and business-y things like getting DBA stuff rolling

Got more beta feedback, and am once again jazzed af!
Still plenty to fix/work on, but I can confirm that the 'machete edits' were not in vain, they've paid off in spades
That said, gotta finish gathering reference pics for the cover so we can get progress rolling on that front before I do edits

As I continue gathering reference images for my book's cover, I feel the need to reiterate my seething disdain for AI and what it's done to the fucking internet (much less the planet)
It shouldn't be this hard to find the images/perspectives I'm looking for, and yet...

Lungs finally improving (slowly breaking cough --> cramp combo)
But you know how sometimes a weather front's rolling in, and you know it's gonna be *bad* bad as you/your joints feel exactly how far the pressure's dropping?
That, but reproductive tract
This cycle looks to be a special kind of bad
