AWARDS ELIGIBILITY WHATNOT
it has come to my attention that despite having been once again thrust into the pilot's seat for full-time, live-in caregiving work, I DID actually successfully write words this year, and some of them were even published!
Not many, but all of them something I'm proud of:

Many others have said this, but it's just so refreshing to have an NYC mayor who absolutely loves everything about the city and all it has to offer its residents.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

For fat people, that means that the gnarliest anti-fat assholes in our lives are being told, day in & day out, that their bigotry and biases are correct and virtuous. They get to reassure themselves that their bullying of fat people is somehow a service to us.

That's not to say that the existence of GLP-1s are directly making people more bigoted in their anti-fatness. But their marketing relies on extremely anti-fat tropes, floods the airwaves with anti-fat messages, and sends the message that anti-fatness is not just pro-health, it's morally righteous.

My feed on various social media places is now jam-packed with GPT generated ad-stories about "quiet, dignified death" and it's making me puke. So terrible, the writing, the click baiting, the whole thing, and it's all because I posted about my mom's death, so it's even more maddening.

One of the problems with The Hobbit movies is that they stopped letting people who looked like Bilbo Baggins be actors sometime in the 90s.

This was also my first Cherryh. If you've never read her work and you like sci-fi, space opera, or badass lion women willing to allow a strange, male human in their midst, snap this up! The alien cultures and politics yank you in, but there's also plenty of pew, pew, pew!
My gateway to a lifelong love of C.J. Cherryh was a used copy of The Pride of Chanur, now $1!!!

In Which Being Bi Saves The World
The kingdom is drowning, reality is collapsing, and now this hot married couple, in ignorance of the time loop he's oathbound to maintain, is playing kissing games with Sir Gavin.
The yearly beheadings don't seem to be helping. Neither does being "good".
Time to try something different 🏳️🌈🌈✨
