From the moment Dr Candice Mallus lays eyes on retired Navy SEAL Derek Montague, she knows there's something special about him..... more special even than the successful graft that will make him SHARK...

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%

Very frustrating that i can't get into renew my license plates online. The form fails to let me past my license lookup in 3 different browsers and also 3 different devices. It let me get past with a different vehicle's license plate. UGH

This is my buddy Caz, who y'all helped out when they were buying groceries for three families during Metro Surge. Now they are helping another family fight ICE. If you can't pitch in I ask for a signal boost. Thanks, everybody.

Hey y'all, I hate to ask when EVERYBODY is on the struggle bus, but we have a family here at the campground whose dad was snatched by ICE at the local airport the other day. We're covering & extending their stay, but they need more help. Venmo @Caz-A paypal.me/ccabb Kenny tax:

"This is a guide for people who would like less intrusive AI in their tech environment."

How to disable or avoid intrusive AI – librarian.net

One of the biggest questions I get at Drop-In Time at the library (besides “what is taking up all my cloud storage?”) is how to disable or avoid intrusive AI that shows up where people don’t want it. I’m going to make a handout that explains how to do some of the basic AI-removal or AI-avoidance things. This is a guide for people who would like less intrusive AI in their tech environment. Maybe you like AI and find it useful? That’s fine, this document is probably not for you. Additions/edits welcome. Leave a comment or drop me an email.

I have no idea what to do with this Covid revisionism. It feels like the bad kind of group therapy where you help each other ignore facts. We don't have to go *that* far back in the social media timelines to prove how fucked up it was. We were so scared we were scrubbing eggs and baking the mail.

"But it's only a twelve-book series, Skyla, eventually you'll run out of story." ON THE CONTRARY, a) I already intend to write standalone Waverly books when the main series is done under the banner The Waverly Jones Files (cover art will have a nod to the 80s Nancy Drew paperbacks)...

"Why do you keep yelling about 'AI', I'm tired of hearing about it!" Trust me, I'm tired of yelling. I'd love for the dangerous griftslop bubble to pop so I can go back to natttering on about squirrel stories, my violent little kissing books, and the usual (relatively) gentle lunacy.

Bluesky, I'm going out of town next week and I'm gonna post a few things I think are amazing here since I'll be closing the shop Monday to avoid having any leftover orders. So buckle up if you got a couple bucks! www.adornedbyshivani.com/product/dang... I love these cute felinoids. #bsnm

In more seriousness, I would truly appreciate your vote. I feel awkward being this blunt about it, but I love this series, and I feel like it's exactly the sort of work the category was meant to reward--long and meaty and complicated, but not self-contained enough for stand-alone nominations.

INTO THE DROWNING DEEP by Mira Grant is only $2 in US eBook format today! That's less than half the cost of a cup of decent coffee for hours and hours of meticulous marine biology research leading you to the horrors of the deep!

New Patreon post / Free Book! :) With @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social's invaluable assistance as a cover artist, I've made an ebook of the writeups for our pulpy two-year #MasksOfNyarlathotep campaign that recently ended. It is very, *very* funny, sometimes poignant, & a great adventure. 🥰

okay so basically our discord/readers/volunteers have cyberbullied Donna & I into letting them help organize a baby auction that will be half bundles of cool special editions that didn't make it into the RTV auction because of space, & half us doing a Kit Rocha Pop Up LOL these will be in it!

thank you for reading this thread on personal responsibility, hey look I 3d printed this dragon sleeping on some books that is secretly a box for hiding your hopes & dreams & candy.

Mamdani heard "the pursuit of happiness" and took it literally and people are gonna die mad about it

"Helping working people to afford lives of joy” This is absolutely why Mamdani is succeeding in New York and is so beloved.

I think it's important to never forgive companies because it means other companies will maybe learn from it realizing that oh once you destroy goodwill it's forever.

I am very torn, because "reward the behavior you want to see" is sometimes the only way you get listened to. But I want to see SOME evidence of actual change before I go "welp time to resume business as usual yay!" I can live without new clothes. My loved ones can't live without human rights.

The idea that making things accessible reduces attendance is outdated and inaccurate. I'm just hoping the HADESTOWN profit boost from the proshot changes some minds.

Posting this for tonight, as I was thinking about old twitter and making weird things in zazzle. I've moved stuff over to Printify now and this was one of the first things I made for the epic Ms. Bev's community. www.adornedbyshivani.com/product/slay... It actually comes in 5 colors!

If anyone's belonging is conditional and can be revoked because of WHO THEY ARE, then EVERYONE'S belonging is conditional. The excuses and "reasons" do not hold.

Love to hear that my nostalgia matters more than the safety and humanity of my friends. And "finding a place where you can belong," how can that matter, when all the trans fans who felt that way were suddenly told that no, they didn't belong, they never had?
