I have 2 short-term goals: Get rent paid, and get braced for an incoming emergency.

I'm all stocked up on shiny things, now just need to get them in front of people:

Free international shipping (and US tariffs taken care of).

This is great on not just Freeplay but noncommercial game festivals more widely and the state of how things are going (bad)

I'm working on getting together this month's rent - every little helps, and I have over 150 wallpapers up for sale - or grab a bundle and get a big discount.

Found one of the folks involved with the CWA and unionizing of Sherri’s Ranch.

The demand that they own the workers IP is insane. We saw this over the summer in LA landlords saying they own all content made in an apartment.

This is that but escalated

All power to the workers including SEX WORKERS

Anyway, in happier news I've got a busy weekend with a screening of The Princess Bride on Friday night and a big goth night on Saturday. I'm so excited to see my clubbing buddies again 🥳 It's been WEEKS and I miss their chaotic nonsense.

Look, I don't know why Death's selection list has been fucked since Prince, but we're going to need an elite heist team of religious scholars, metaphysicists, occultists and a cat burglar and we're going to go fix this shit.

ARGH got stood up and ghosted by a first date tonight, which honestly never gets less insulting as I get older. Now I've got the grumps 😤

I need to get better photos of all of these in daylight tomorrow, but I wanted to get them up on the website tonight.

A collage of four photos of large pendants made from densely packed gemstones and beads in ornately swirled and woven silver wire. One is mostly pink and peach, one is red and black, one is purple and plum, and one is dozens of shades of blue.

After posting here about how proud I am of my Dad's sharp political left turn in his retirement, I decided to send him a heartfelt text saying just that. He responded with ❤️, no further response 😂 He's a man of few words and many emoji lol

I think it should be legal to slap these off someone's face and smash them with a big mallet if you see them recording you without your permission

Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

This is all deeply messed up, but I saw my formerly deeply conservative Dad live streaming on FB from a pro Palestine rally earlier in the week, so I choose to have hope.

I went to Owndays to get my glasses replaced today because one arm has been held together with E6000 glue for about six months and the other arm gave out a week ago. The staff were equal parts fascinated and horrified by my "repair job", they asked lots of questions 😂

Gosh, I'm really glad I called in sick to work today. I caught up on a bunch of sleep, did some laundry, got my glasses replaced, and did some resin tinkering. I'm feeling much less ack overwhelm about the prospect of work tomorrow now.

{whispering} people convicted of violent crimes also do not deserve to live in these conditions
donmoyn.bsky.social Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 4d
The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.
He was then flown to the Ice facility in El Paso, Texas. He said he has been locked in the same large, cold and damp room for 4½ months with more than 70 men. He said detainees are constantly hungry because meals served at tables in the centre of the room offer only child-sized portions. Fights often break out over food, “even over those little child-sized juice containers”. Toilet areas are “filthy”. He said there is little to do but lie on a bed all day. Most detainees do not speak any English. He said he has been allowed outside for air and exercise fewer than a dozen times in nearly five months. The atmosphere is full of “anxiety and depression”, he said.

I've been working full time hours for about a month now, and I'm so so tired but bloody hell the money helps. My budget has been so tight for so long I'd pretty much forgotten the joy of being able to just replace something right away if it breaks.

I was so deeply tired this morning I called in sick to work with the plan to sleep until I felt better. However, then I remembered all the things I need to do in business hours that I've been putting off, and the temptation is real to try and jam as many of them into today as possible. Not restful!

I started John Wick 4 tonight, and while I don't know if it's the BEST John Wick film, as my partner had heard, but it's certainly the MOST John Wick a film could possibly be, and I'm really quite here for it.

More "love paddle" resin tests! I'm very pleased with these, I think they'll make great pendants once I have my technique down.
Four miniature "love paddle" shaped resin pendants in a row on white tiles. From left to right there is a black plain paddle with "yes" written on it in pink capital letters, a bright pink paddle with love heart shaped holes in it, a wide black paddle with small holes in it and "yes please" written in tiny pink letters on the paddle, and finally a bright pink plain paddle with "yes" written on it in capital rainbow letters.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

ACAB includes the guy who invented the Fleshlight
The Fleshlight was designed by Steve Shubin, whose 1997 patent filing for a "device for discreet sperm collection" was- granted in July 1998. Shubin was a linebacker on his college football team, then went to the police academy and worked on the SWAT team in Los Angeles County for about Six years. "I've killed people before. I've done everything. I have choked hundreds of people unconscious" he said, calling the police force his favorite job. Dissatisfied with the pay, he then ran his own power washing company in Los Angeles. In 1995, he filed a patent for a sex doll torso and eventually pivoted to the Fleshlight.
