The problem with scammers and loneliness these days is that everything is digital, so the scammer never gets the chance to fall in love with a plucky local librarian and change his wicked ways. And forget about the implications of not even having to buy a bunch of marching band instruments.

Well sheet, maybe it’s time to try my hand at writing again and finally get around to that OFMD Saved! au I’ve been thinking about for ages…
Two months to go, and the prompts are here! Each day is a genre to pick a film from (except the two Sundays which are more of a theme that I thought would be fun to throw into the mix). It'll work exactly like TV AU week, but if you missed that, I'll pop some event rules below! #OFMDFF

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.
From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.
If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.
Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

If you are comfy with it, I took your advice. That said, anyone wanting to help but not wanting to give to a stranger online, valid, I encourage donating to a local pantry or mutual aid group. Sadly, there are people all over the country impacted by the shutdown. ko-fi.com/manicfanfic/...

The wah-wah sad trombone noise was invented in the 1920s by jazz legend Tricky Sam Nanton specifically for use at Dick Cheney's funeral.
Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
