The horrors persist, but so do I. A disabled leftist living in Montana Woodworker, writer, artist, nuisance. I made a blog about a shed I built out of cob and you should all check it out: https://cobshedproject.com/ (He/him)
Me: "I dunno, I think my story about a secret order of magic karate wizards who fight interdimensional depression monsters might be too weird a concept for most people..." Me, 5 seconds later: "Wait, nevermind. There was a popular 80s cartoon about cat people fighting an evil mummy. I'm good"
Lewis Black talking about the possibility of a Trump presidency on the Daily Show in 2012: "What we need is a crazy, third-world dictator and Donald Trump has got what it takes to be that". Lewis Black now, probably:
How it feels going on the internet these days. (Also Jimothy is precious and must be protected at all costs)
Started re-watching Assassination Classroom the other day. Fun fact: they tried to ban the manga this show is based on from the schools in Billings because it would inspire autistic kids to kill their teachers or something, because we're so susceptible to power of suggestion...

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

![Millennial grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]
Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]
To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:atdbmignbrjbjgj2ba4axnwl/bafkreidgcz72oqo4dwsqlv2ovhewwekbfxdo7ydluyrffhlijqkg2546gy)

So, long story short, I've been in Denver for the last few days to do book research and uh...I need to rewrite like 3 chapters...
A pox upon July 5 fireworks users.

With Disability Pride Month coming up, I'm trying to find a short, quick way to say "The $2000 asset limit for SSI recipiets hasn't been updated since 1984, and that $65 they don't count before reducing your SSI payments has been the same since SSI began in 1972 and both need to be updated".
Currently devoting a considerable amount of time and brain power to figuring out what songs the protagonist in my story would have on his Ipod.
You know that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Q gets stripped of his powers? That's what it feels like when I change out of my Renaissance Faire garb and into my regular clothes.
I had a dream once that Google made it so that when you did a google image search for something, instead of finding actual images, it would use AI to generate a bunch. It's possibly the most disgusting thing my mind has dreamed up...
Okay, but real talk, I kind of wonder if the reason we're seeing so many remakes of '90s/early '2000s movies/shows/games is because of some conspiracy to weaponize nostalgia so that we don't fight back against the bullshit going on now...
The best part about helping to set up for a Renaissance Faire is that sometimes you get to play with trebuchets and call it work.
People who say "I will never shop at a store that flies a pride flag" are the exact reason why, back when I was still doing craft shows, I always made sure the water bottle at my booth was always rotated so that the pride flag on it was visible.
happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves
Conspiracy theory: Forcing kids to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school isn't just about nationalist indoctrination. It's about making them believe that verbal oaths like that are just a meaningless formality, so that way when the president violates the Oath of Office, they just shrug it off.
Every time I see people talk about fraud and improper payments in our social programs, I can't help but wonder how many of those cases are truly fraud and how many are just people being mistakenly accused of fraud and just deciding it's easier/cheaper to pay the money back instead of fighting it

I learned the other day that for eastbound train trips, it's apparently possible (and roughly the same price-wise) to take the bus from Billings to Minot and vise versa and just get on/off the train there instead of flying to Glasgow. I'm going to give that a try next time I take the train
As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.
Deadline for comments today, May 22nd #TransRights #LGBTQ #LGBTQRights
Gail Waldby ❌👑@gailwaldby.bsky.social · 3mo agoTell The FCC That LGBTQ Stories Don’t Need a Warning FCC is asking Americans for comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to “transgender and gender non-binary programming” and “the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes."
I wonder, what minor inconvenience was equivalent to losing the remote before remote controls were invented?
I enjoy coming up with weird fun shit for the cutie crew to deal with. I love thinking up silly and/or moving things for them to say. I love challenging myself to make my editor laugh or cry. why would I throw all of that away for the blandest most garbage words spat out by a robot
Still kinda mad about Sym-Bionic Titan ending on a cliffhanger tbh....
