Even if Invasion gets another season out of Apple they’re not getting one out of me. It’s sci-fi in name only and my culture is not their costume.

Even when it’s just absurd bad faith and special interest driven constitutional amendments in a conservative stronghold, it’s still essential to make your voice heard. Let these autocrats know we’re not going away.

It is finally, mercifully, cold enough in Texas to wrap up in blankets and it’s the motherfuckin cozy olympics in my house right now. I’ve been training for this my whole life.

Once again, Texas is out here just having a very normal one with 17 constitutional amendments on the ballot this year including such good faith gems as an amendment "clarifying that a voter must be a US citizen" and another "affirming that parents are the primary decision makers for their children".

It’s early chapters yet, but Leviathan Wakes is maybe the first book I’ve enjoyed more for having seen the adaption first. It’s nice to be able to see their faces and there are just some things that I wouldn’t have visualised well had I not seen them already.
