Described my preferred genre (Weird West/slipstream) as "Louis L'amourcraft" and I've never felt so proud of a joke only four people would get.

I've been feeling particularly desperate and angry all the time, so I found some December Diamonds merman ornaments and I'm going to make up dumb names for them. Starting off strong with Dudley Do-Me-Right, here:
A christmas tree ornament of a sexy canadian mountie, his jacket is open to reveal an unlikely six pack, and he has a black merman tail for some reason.

Irony is dead.

I just saw the 2025 US banned books list. I just want to say, go read books. Talk about them. Share them. And please write them.

While many of these books will still be published, they do become less accessible when removed from libraries

Be a book punk. Read them all

president of colombia, gustavo petro's response to trump
Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some meritorious things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should unite. I confess that l like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the US as well as within my country I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a drink of whiskey that l accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, l'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom You don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake the hands of the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and of the black and white peasant boys of the USA, before whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which ! reached, after They are the USA and before them I kneel, before no one else. Overthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Colombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization at that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resisters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take shelter in its African songs. My land is made of goldsmiths from the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, and of the first artists of the world in Chiribiquete. You will never dominate us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, and who is called Bolivar, opposes us. Our people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, now Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. I raise a flag and as Gaitan said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA. Your blockade does not scare me; because Colombia, in addition to being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will offer it your sweetness. FROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA OPENS TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. I am informed that you put a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the US, I do the same. Let our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world

I started my Etsy page selling these beaded pride bracelets several months ago, and it's been difficult to get any traction on Meta because they suppress queer content. I hope Bluesky will be more kind.
www.etsy.com/shop/WickedW...
Three beaded bracelets overlap on a white background on top of the black velvet foot of a jewelry stand. They are pink, purple, and blue, the colors of the bisexual pride flag. Three beaded bracelets are on a white person's forearm. They are yellow, white, purple, and black, the colors of the non-binary pride flag. Three beaded bracelets hang on a black velvet jewelry stand in front of a white background. They are labeled Large, Medium, and Small. They are in the six rainbow colors of the Pride flag. A beaded bracelet sits on a black velvet jewelry stand in close up. The beads are light blue, light pink, and white/clear. They are the colors of the trans pride flag.

It is 16 F outside. Reminded of working at a fast food joint long ago. Someone was giving me hell about the fudge on her hot fudge sundae not being hot enough. A guy behind her said "Lady, it's 12 degrees outside, no one gives a fuck."

I hope he's having a great day.

worth noting Chris Murphy switched his position from anti to pro banning TikTok because of Gaza, explicitly so. He told The Dispatch podcast Dec 7 2023 when explaining his pivot, “The way that TikTok is talking about Gaza is designed to divide Americans from each other”.

I am not smart and I don't pretend to be. I'm mad about the government, but right now all I wanna do is write my gay (laudatory) stories and encourage everyone else to do the same. Make art that pisses off people you don't like.
