One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.
We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous
Ask yourself whether your current doom-scrolling and information consumption rate is sustainable for a year.
Make the adjustment. It's time to settle in for a long protracted fight.
You can't be effective if you're reacting to every new shock before it's even confirmed. And they know this.
Hint: "Send all the Jews THERE to be cannon fodder for the war of Gog and Magog" is a Cliffs' Notes version of the thing.
PLEASE DO THIS.
I AM BEGGING. I am involved with vetting works for the Igntye awards. AND it would REALLY help if venues both print and online put the word counts at the top of short stories, novelettes and novellas.
I am not understanding why this isn't just done after all this time.
So she has an alibi.
I am very excited that @wireddotcom.bsky.social is HIRING. We'll be listing 3 roles this month, and more in January.
We're hiring a CULTURE EDITOR, which is an incredible opportunity for someone who wants to get really weird on the internet:

All the Trump cabinet announcements are like “And I’ve named this parrot that only knows how to say racial slurs to be Secretary of the Interior”
You know what’s worse, to me, than the fact that some men have had to overhear the phrase “toxic masculinity”? The fact that one in five women will be raped.
The complaint about the phrase “toxic masculinity” is a classic reversal of victim and offender: the moral emergency is not the sexist violence and degradation that women are complaining about, but the way that overhearing their complaints makes men feel.
No one really believes there is. The grievance is that the second wave’s advances have been too persistent, and that women have become more emboldened to discuss sexism in their lives. The Republicans want to reverse this, making sexism more potent and its pain less speakable. That’s their appeal.

NEW: Ohio gov. Mike DeWine says in a press conference that Springfield has received at least 33 separate bomb threats
the girlies are spreading the word
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,799,296!
Not too bad, considering how late I am to everything.
If you’re Jewish and have managed to find a Jewish community that isn’t totally uncritical about what’s happening right now, can you reply? I’m aching for one and I’m having a real hard time right now. (Please only reply if you’re Jewish or help a Jewish family member maintain their community).
“Part of the problem is that items critical for hospitals are banned by Israel which says they can be used by Hamas for military purposes. The list of items it considers dual-use include some water disinfection materials.”
There is nowhere to go. Rafah is the southern-most town in Gaza and there is nowhere to go. Egypt is closing its border and there is nowhere to go. There is no aid entering, no Palestinian leaving. There is nowhere to go. Israel isn't demanding Palestinians evacuate because they know there is nowhere to go. When they drop leaflets over Rafah what they're actually saying is "we're going to kill you because we know there is nowhere to go." We can keep repeating "it can't get worse than this" but it will and it is getting "worse than this." This is the final solution because there's nowhere to go. My god, there is nowhere to go.
“my god, there is nowhere to go.”
Going to see The Mummy in a theater with Mr Genie on Saturday and I’m ridiculously excited about it. That movie is one of my great loves.
We just finished watching Galaxy Quest, and I was joking with our 10yo, who is a tiny raging lesbian, that it was good despite the straight people kissing. Then Mr Genie joked that she exists bc straight people kissed, to which she yelled from upstairs: “MOM’S *BISEXUAL!*”
I love our family.
One in 100 people in Gaza has been killed since Oct 7; one in 120 children is dead.
UNICEF estimated that in the coming weeks “at least 10,000 children under 5 yrs will suffer the most life-threatening form of malnutrition, known as severe wasting, & will need therapeutic foods.”
This is a choice.
one of the most powerful skills you can ever master for yourself is "yes, it sucks, and i love it". once you learn this you are free
I think my rule of thumb is:
Seven digits: you can probably retire
Eight digits: you can travel really well and have a second or possibly third home and wear expensive clothing
Nine digits: that’s too many digits, put some back
Ten digits: no
Author's note on fanfic: "Please stop leaving comments that relitigate your real-world parasocial love or equally parasocial hate for Taylor Swift. This is not the forum for that, this is an erotic mind control story about Taylor Swift enthusiastically falling under the corrupting influence of a mysterious amulet, the origin of which is not explored though is likely sorcery-based."
I love AO3.
Apparently, I had a lot to say about AI and why you shouldn't use it as a creative, soooo, here all of that is.
*dumps it in front of you like a cat leaving a sticky, mauled bird*
The woke mob wants to give you free healthcare and then laugh maniacally as you, tears streaming down your face, try in vain to shove your life savings into the arms of the doctor who looked over your bumped knee for a few seconds.
