Umm. America, are you gonna _do_ anything about this?
I can’t even boil water without US news crawling out of my phone like a possessed child and chasing me around the room.
Could you tone everything down a bit? Maybe put your fascists in a time out? I get that it’s great TV but come on.

A sweet mantis showed up in the front entrance of my apartment building, during morning rush hour. I rescued her to my balcony garden about 10 meters away, where she can leave whenever she wants.
There are a lot of tasty bugs here though, so I hope she chooses to visit for a while.

Just arrived to Salidar on a #WOT #WheelOfTime reread (book5) and the inability of the Sali Aes Sedai to recognise the faces S and L possess breaks my ability to imagine.
Just what is this agelessness?

Dang, no pot shots from me yet? I usually throw, but handbuilding is growing on me too now.
I was doing an ADHD virtual body-doubling session on Discord this morning, and these two pots emerged over two hours or so.
They may be doomed but I just want to be rid of the last of this clay, anyway.

In a wild twist of fate, the breathlessly pearl-clutched warnings of societal collapse if the children were allowed to read the wizard books turns out to have had something to them, although the true harm seems to have been the summoning of another billionaire from whatever hell spawns them.
JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms.
This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

Ugh, just so pissed about #WheelOfTimeShow getting axed.
Since I can’t do anything else other than scowl, I’m gonna commit to watching legally and with cost the next thing that the showrunner Rafe Judkins does, damnit. He made WoT magical, I trust him now.

I cannot do much, but I can make this just a bit more of an expensive decision for you.
I’ll give this sub money to literally any place that can pick this show up. Amazon, if that’s you you can have the sub again.

I hope we hear a little more of this world someday, but I’ll understand if the author wants to just move on to the next story.
