One of my favorite stories I've ever written, published by Daily Science Fiction back when they ran longer stories, is offline forever now that DSF is closed. I've recorded it for my patreon and it'll go live next week, but it'll be for paid patrons only, or a paid download.

Usually Dracula joins me when I record, because I pet him so he won't make noise. Today Belladonna decided to investigate the closet for the first time!

A walk in closet with clothes on one side, faux fur in shelves on the other. On the floor is a laptop and microphone. Behind the laptop, a little black cat sits staring at the camera.

It's not the best story ever, and I couldn't pronounce the name of the aliens consistently in a story I myself wrote, but it's fun.

Empires creak under their own weight. Invasion threatens to erase old ways. The past is in danger of being forgotten, but for the written stories clinging to that which came before.
Change brews like no time ever before as we reach to grasp the heavens.

Cover art for The Heavens Within Our Grasp, which features an anthropomorphic king and queen in the style of a stained glass window. In front of them is an avian member of their court, regaling them with a story. Art by Blue Hunter Art.

I'm so glad you're okay after that! (That first picture you posted, the one with clouds, looks like a renaissance painting except, you know, for the smashed up car.)

Hey. Breaking my hiatus for a moment. I got into a car accident today. I’m just here to plug my ko-fi bc honestly. I’m not sure how much this is going to be. Physically, other than the chronic pain I already deal with, I’m okay. Mentally is a different story. ko-fi.com/verra

My car, a silver hatchback, with a huge impact on the rear passenger side.

HELP! I get little pops in my audio when recording video & can't figure out what's causing it (you'll hear it right at the beginning of this clip, as I say the word "and"). This DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I AM JUST RECORDING AUDIO, only video, but I am NOT using the camera mic. 1/

When it happens, you're probably not even going to learn about it directly before you feel it in the air. You'll just hear car horns and cheering in the streets. You'll feel confused, annoyed. You'll check your phone. Huh, 41 new texts.

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

In addition, the new rule allows farm employers to charge H-2A workers for their housing, which was not allowed before. "It's a way for employers to continue to house workers and also charge them, and bring down effective wages," said Marcos Lopez of the Labor and Community Center at the University of California, Davis.

you'd think Democrats would realize that effective messaging can shift public opinion and electoral outcomes after watching Republicans wage relentless and super-effective propaganda warfare on the nation's dim electorate for going on five fucking decades
