cw: pet illness

Colby's been officially diagnosed with kidney disease. She's 19. It was expected. To make the rest of her life as comfy as I can she'll need a diet change, a few meds. And I'll need to take her for fluid treatments.

If you ever wanted to get a comm from me now would be so helpful.

Latest muppet is done! I just have to make clothing for her and she can be on her way.
Have been totting up and realised I missed a few. Grand total for the year for my crew (made from scratch only) is 13 🥳Still averaging at least one a month, even if six of those were made in the same fortnight

Hey #ofmdcraftfair friends:

This email from @southernequality.bsky.social just made me cry a little bit. This is the work we made happen. Almost 10% of this was *us*- our show, our crafts, our hyping, our love.

When things feel hopeless, when you feel powerless, remember: WE DID THIS.

Cynically, I do see a market for this. The studios tried to create walled fanworks gardens for decades; fans who actually enjoy making things themselves always rejected them. But the person who doesn't want to *participate* in culture, but wants to see Spider-Man and Baby Yoda hang together? Well...

Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵

“But her emails” was just another confession disguised as an accusation, it’s so incredibly obvious now.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

It is obscene that British media, and her own mother, have fully obscured that Brianna Ghey was murdered.

They've just glossed right over it, smoothly turning it into a narrative about suicide as if that is what happened.

If you went off the media, you'd 100% think she committed suicide. The entire media has decided to lie about how she died.

Same media that'll let Rowling drive you into bankruptcy via libel suits if you say she's a transphobe.

In lieu of the film business falling apart, some people have been saying to write your "fuck it" script. I don't know if that was the inspiration for this one, but it sure looks like 100 percent, pure "fuck it" to me. Which is a good thing.
