I'm at the vet with my old lady Colby cat. You helped me make this appointment possible, my pirates. I'm likely looking at some pricey meds and food changes so now would be a really good time to buy a comm if you thinkin about it. 🧡🧡 Please send me a dm here or on my ko-fi if you're interested! 🧡🧡

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

There are so many better magic school books that are much less mean-spirited and less biased than those ones and I say this as someone who was neck deep in the fandom in the early 2000s
I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

"Assume best intent." In general, this is a motto that has worked out for me. (Please note, this is applied to literally everything and everyone *unless* they are a politician.)

Hanlon's Razor says: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." (I don't like the word stupidity and would rather substitute the word "ignorance" because it's less judgmental) but this pretty much works for everything outside politics.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Serious answer: all three of the things that he lives for are the bare bones scraps of physical manifestations of intimacy and love. But he can't name intimacy and love because he doesn't deserve those things, offered those things and had them rejected.
Question for you all: do we think that Ed's reasons for living are the same now that he's with Stede? Or would he have replaced orgasms (still top 5) with intimacy? #ofmd

I have not seen any fan-run paid OFMD event that *didn't* have a community fund to get as many people involved as possible. OCMD had one. Siren Events has one. Wee Con (which I helped with) had one.
I know it's weird to ask for help, so please tell us how we can make it easier to ask.

It sucks to live under capitalism. And feelings are hard.
My thought for the fandom is wise words I heard recently: "deescalate any conflict that isn't with the actual enemy". This fandom is generous and giving, period. That's why we rock.

"I'm very sad not to be able to just have whatever I want without paying so I think I should be able to steal things and not get criticised for it" is not a compelling argument.
If you've never stolen V_ico's paywalled content, why are you okay with stealing Christine's?

IX of wands.
Context for those Taika pictures going around: Christine Wada didn't give permission for those to be shared outside the Interview as a Crew panel, so please delete them if you reshared.(No shame if you didn't know).
The person to blame is whoever cropped out the watermark. That was deliberate.

It’s so disappointing, and saddening. If this was someone sharing Vico’s content, fandom would not stand for it. But Christine Wada doesn’t get the same respect?

Sad to have to post this - Further pictures from Christine Wada’s panel are being circulated, despite my clear request they not be. I do not have permission sharing these, and spreading them not only damages my reputation but also any chance of future events and guests sharing exclusive material.

There was a segment of watermarked pictures released as part of the promotion for the event, unfortunately someone has chosen to take further images from the event, crop the watermark, and circulate them without permission. Which is terribly disrespectful to Ms Wada.
