Cuba only has about 20 days of oil left after the US has forced Venezuela and Mexico to stop trading oil with Cuba.

This is a humanitarian crisis designed and made by the US empire.

My number of books read this year is currently at 3 if ny count is correct. A nice start with it only being the first half of February. I'm now returning to The Fifth Wound, and alternating it with Wuthering Heights and The Isle in the Silver Sea

Happy to say I finished Veal a few days ago. A nice read indeed, and some very fun prose that dives deep into how dykes flirt with eachother. The plot maybe sputtered a bit near the end, and i'd honestly have been fine with the book being longer just for that (and the delicious interactions).

Also came up with a neat ttrpg idea that's advancing what i'm thinking of as a 'collective storytelling' game. Might end up being a pretty slim thing.

I'm devastated. I'm suffering from extreme exhaustion due to a heart valve condition, and my pain has worsened. My kids are freezing and shivering from the cold.They're homeless. I urgently need $250—it's the difference between life &death.

She may not be Zohran Mamdani…

But she’s Nithya Raman 🥹

My district councilmember. Someone who shows up in her community and FIGHTS on our behalf.

Sherman Oaks will be sad to lose her… but Los Angeles will be lucky to gain her 💪🏽

This is for Heba. Her son Adam needs surgery on his fingers. They also just basically need to survive Gaza on top. Here’s her message & where you can give. Please share.

We're going through a tough time and trying to get back on our feet.
A heartfelt thank you.

We in Gaza are living in tents amidst a catastrophic humanitarian situation and soaring prices.

We need $100 a day just for food, water, and basic necessities.

Your support, however small, means life and resilience to us.

Don't leave us alone 🤍🇵🇸

He pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.”

“They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

Returned to reading Veal yesterday. A solid thriller, but so far more interesting to me as a work of slice of life. One defined by changing weather, slippery romance, the trauma of growing up, and ejaculations of terrifying violence against women like yourself. And you keep on living.

Today is also Bandcamp Friday, and I should note that quite a few of the Magica Riot songs are songs originally written by my band and I. You can find our output so far at crystalfurs.bandcamp.com 🥰

“our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

If you're in Los Angeles you should head down go CAAMS and check out the exhibition These Walking Glories!!! A beautiful expression of black trans spirituality, ritual, and an ode to those we've lost due the depredations of cissexist white supremacy. Ya girl came out rather healed.
