Thanks once again to Mikasa here for some very sweet artwork of my characters Zen and Ayvin.
It's a very fitting scene as we enter some colder months; the outside world may grow harsher for a while, but we still have each other 💜
In the heart of the snow, only shadows and whispers remain. ❄️❤️

RT if this gives you chills.

"In 2016, Epstein collaborated with Trump and Musk’s inner circle during the presidential election. Epstein reportedly arranged meetings between influential Trump backers P Thiel, T Barrack, and Russia's U.N. ambassador, V Churkin."

"Thiel [..] met with Epstein several times, starting in 2014."
Epstein’s connections with covert efforts to influence U.S. politics, including Trump’s election
Jeffrey Epstein leveraged connections with global elites, potentially serving intelligence interests while entrenching himself in powerful circles linked to Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk…

"Thiel was incentivized financially to protect Epstein [..].
Thiel financed numerous operations, including MAGA3X which was a PAC formed in 2016 to fund 'alt-right' trolls & 'anons' to make up conspiracy theories about H Clinton being involved in the exact kind of crimes Epstein & Trump committed."
Peter Thiel, Epstein Protector
For over a decade, Peter Thiel has been helping Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump and the Russian government

Hidden in the controversial about UK "choking ban" proposal are a host of even more egregious proposals that could:

* make camming illegal
* redefine escort ads as pimping
* render model contracts unenforceable
* criminalize discussions of teen sexuality

And a whole lot more ...
Moral panic about rough sex gives way to censorship in the UK
British regulators and lawmakers are hot on a measure that would make possessing or publishing strangulation porn a crime.

While I understand people are skeptical of the Steam Machine as being too wonky to make a dent in PlayStation or Nintendo, I absolutely see a scenario in which it replaces Xbox, which does not seem to be difficult at this point.

Why artists so often end up communists:
1. They make pure public goods.
2. They can only make money due to a legal kluge to fit art into a market economy. (Copyright)
3. They would do it on their own no matter what.
4. The work they do on their own is better than what the market asks them for.

5. The market mostly asks them for advertising.
6. Their enthusiasm causes the market to reduce their wages below subsistence.

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"
pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

We have more cowhide than we know what to do with. Unless there is a huge sustained drop in beef consumption, all buying leather does is help ensure that a cow that was already gonna die has more of its body used for a good purpose.

As is, we throw millions of cowhides in the landfill yearly.
One of my favorite "green" scams is "vegan leather" that's actually just plastic. Not all materials marketed as vegan leather are plastic, but from what I can tell most are. Vegan also doesn't equate to eco friendly, but marketers know that people feel like vegan and eco friendly go hand-in-hand.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed
