I'm not always as funny as whatever I said that brought you here, but I never stop trying. Bipolar. Broke-ass bitch in a red state. Trying to understand how All This will look to history.

This rather battered Wildfire lunchbox from 1986 currently has a second life as my sewing box.
An image of a purple plastic vintage Wildfire lunchbox displaying a scene of a plucky cowgirl on the back of a fantastical purple horse poised atop a mesa.

"We are the origins of war: not history's forces, nor the times, nor justice, nor lack of it, nor ideas, nor kinds of government, nor any other thing. We are the killers. We breed war. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little--that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities, my children. We could change the world." - Eleanor of Aquitaine, THE LION IN WINTER

A quote from Robert Bolt's "A Man For All Seasons." Roper: So now you give the Devil the benefit of law! More: "Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?" Roper: "Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!" More: "Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!"

Panel from a Golden Age comic. A sultry blonde in a red dress stands in a bookstore, presenting a book to the owner, a balding man in glasses. The owner says, "What does a pretty girl like you want a book on black magic and necromancy for?" The woman replies, "Never mind the whys, bub. Just sell me the book!"

Gonna program AI to repeat Hail Mary 24/7 and maybe I'll get to Heaven after all.
Screenshot of skeet from @theunread.bsky.com from January 24, 2025, reading "I'd stock a book written by AI. Insistence on the creative as an output only possible from the Special Human Mind is a type of ableism."

A panel from a vintage comic. A young woman in three-quarters profile to the viewer looks out a window, her arms wrapped wistfully around herself, to the silhouette of a metropolis beyond. "What a stupid time to be alive," she says.

He's helping!
A black cat sits on top of a needlepoint canvas, itself depicting a black cat. The real cat cautiously reached out his paw to touch the thread.

Me and the three people who read my posts
An image from the film "The Craft" (1996). Three young women sit on their bedroom floor performing a seance, while a fourth woman floats, prone, in midair between them. The other girls look astonished at what they've done.
