It's a Full Moon today, and we’re being reminded of choice & agency.

Mercury trining both Saturn & Jupiter (who is shown in "aim true"), lots of information lay before us.

What will you choose to help you move forward? Can you cut through the noise of all the bright distractions surrounding you?

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

when it comes down to it, he died in exactly the way he advocated for the world to be, and honestly he's blessed to die in the way he preached for.

but make no mistake, the world he wanted is the world I existentially fight against with my whole being. in the world I want, he'd still be alive

I don’t knit as much as I used to, so I’m kinda out of the fiber arts space but WOW, all the racists and homophobes are showing their face with their social media posts now.

Wonderful day to unfollow people and clear up the timelines

If you have an 18+ Patreon, I stongly, *strongly* recommend you sit down and read this article.

It's the most comprehensive look into Patreon's moderation practices in recent memory. The articles linked in this one are also worth reading.
Patreon gave me information on its approach to SB 20, ASMR, & lolicon. Originally I planned to discuss its relationship with ASMR for a larger story. But then I had an audio removed from Patreon, sparking a larger story on censorship and Patreon. It's a long read

So excited to dive into this!

Kira’s guidebooks on the bounds and the decans are basically perma-opened in my PDF viewers, because I’m constantly returning to them. Make sure to get those too!
THE HOUSES GUIDEBOOK IS HERE!!!
