Pactum factum.

I can close that tab with John Dee's diaries now, but my brain is squidgy mush.

I'm doing this so the characters in the novel can dance to it and I can pull out a few of the lyrics. But I'm writing the whole song.

Thing I'm currently doing to myself in writing the novel:

Using the basic rhythmic structure of the Eurythmics 'Love is a Stranger' I'm writing a new song about John Dee's conversations with Madimi, using as many direct quotes as possible while maintaining rhyme and meter.

As far as I'm concerned, this is an obituary.

in a retaliatory move antifa tried to capture the girlfriend of one of the founders of fascism 2.0 but it turns out thats just an NFT of his anime waifu

When I write, I put a lot of effort into not looking like an idiot.

I'm *fucking grateful* to have someone else helping!

Oh god. That was 18 years ago.

I only know about it because Lucius Shephard asked me to find him a copy ages and ages ago.

That *also* tracks.

It's a little surprising to me how rarely I see anyone even mention it. Anwar has become a bit of a indie horror darling for his recent work, and there just aren't a lot of queer noir detective cosmic horror films.

(Okay, now it's just Dead Time, sometimes Dead Time: Kala)

Joko Anwar's debut film, Kala: Dead Time.

Apparently DHS includes the Ghostbusters (which tracks, honestly).

Hard same.

Hellraiser 2 is a better-made film, but the original has better skin-crawling vibes.

Together though! Their weaknesses cancel each other out and the strengths amplify.

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

Hey Nvidia, if you’ll invest $3k in me, I’ll buy a 5090.

hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Today in annoyances that are addressable and very unlikely to cause anyone harm:

I had this strange counter overlay in Windows that persisted through reboots and showed up over the login screen.

It was *MY MONITOR*. Which includes a multiple overlay timers and counters with hotkeys.

Killed'em all

I cannot believe how much work the Emperor's tailor is getting these days.

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

Newsom is a NON-VIABLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. None of the quippy clapback posts mean a goddamn thing if he is willing to throw the queer community under the bus at any opportunity he gets to do so.

Everyone says they want a traditional marriage until they get a traditional marriage.
