Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Think The Shining meets The Thing meets Dark Souls 3.
A Fort in Winter - Fantasy/Horror. Book 2 of The Chained God. Why did the villagers sent to request rescue from a nearby fort never return? What Horror could fester in an old military fort in the mountains, snowed in for winter? And what can the Lance do about any of it?

Hey @linkara.bsky.social, can you spread the message of a friend who needs help right now?
I've started a ko-fi goal to help fund the basics if anyone is able to help. Obviously, nobody really likes begging, but I have work yet to do and am being responsible by not adding to it for now.

The thing they don't tell you about networking is--it's just you, finding your people.
It doesn't have to be some cynical business mission. It can be, "Hey these people see me, and I want to spend more time around them."
Networking is just an element of community.

The most important class I took in college was Eng104, research, sourcing, and crediting. And it's not even close.
I think learning how to identify whether sources are factual, where those facts come from, what the biases are, and pass that knowledge on...

Just experienced a good laugh reading reviews of one of my books on Goodreads.
I swear to god, only about 10% of the population is able to discern the difference between research-based work and personal opinion.
I would love for schools to teach critical thinking.........

Basically delirious with sleep deprivation (3 nights in a row of less than 4 hours of sleep). If I don't respond or if my activity makes it seem like I'm on acid, you now know why.

I've only put in a couple listens. But The Only Heaven You'll Know by Caskets might be my album to binge for the next month.
That title track kicks off a series of absolute killer songs.

We have this thing called the "jury" in America
A lot of procedure scholars have been kind of unclear, for a long time, about, uhhh, why. Why we have laypeople deciding all our legal cases.
Well, turns out this is why! The whole bulwark against tyranny thing is super real!

Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

The obvious question about the "AI" services being offered but no one is willing to broach is very simple:
If you made a machine that prints money, why are you letting anyone else use it?
Rainmakers, every last one of them.

This would seem to effectively expand the category of people ICE can arrest without a warrant to “people not currently under arrest”

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.
