This motherfucker has a hard-on for punching people when they’re down. His hatred for the unhoused is despicable.

I hope Bluesky takes some measure of pride in knowing that the early genesis of what became our new album, which I consider one of our best to date, was this post and the good laughs we had about it here

My perspective on this is informed by having worked as at a state psychiatric hospital for three or so years when I was young, and by having done my training at a couple more while studying toward board certification.

It is! It’s a “cozy” game where you move to an unnamed European coastal town and sell books out of a wagon hooked up to your crappy car. I’m currently babysitting a local’s cat. It’s mind-numbingly soothing. If you like books I recommend it, but beware, now I want to open a horror themed bookshop!

While it wasn’t the right recommendation this time, I love that Camp Damascus by @chucktingle.bsky.social is one of my options in Tiny Bookshop!

Just started playing the game Tiny Bookshop, because who doesn’t want to escape into a fantasy world where I can sell used books out of little wagon by the ocean? I was tickled pink when Wolf in White Van popped up on my shelf to recommend! @themountaingoats.bsky.social

I’m positive my pastor father and uber christian mother have already explained it away. At this point I don’t think there’s anything he could do that would turn them away, despite losing a daughter along the way.

For a second there I thought we might actually be able to buy a house, then some random judge canceled the SAVE Act and pulled the rug right out from under us. That’s cool, I’ll just keep living in a shitty rental that costs more than a mortgage.

Ugh, that sounds awful. It just never did anything for me, but thankfully never made me feel like that. Honestly, the only thing I’ve found that does help is way too fucking expensive to get so I just have to suffer through and be out of commission for the day. I sadly, literally, feel your pain.

So Beau Ballard, who’s family owns James Arthur Vineyards outside of Lincoln city limits, tacked on a bill that directly benefits him and his families business and disenfranchises voters in Lincoln and Omaha, to a bill that had already received unanimous support? Am I reading that right. Fuck him.

Hey Democrats, sending 20 unsolicited texts begging for money for whoever the fuck is running against I don’t give a fuck who, in a district I’ve never heard of is not the smartest marketing plan. It is however an excellent way to piss people off and make them never want to donate to anyone again.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

I’m with you there. Horror is my preferred genre, but my therapist recommended I take a break for a bit. I can’t imagine why. 🤣 The concept of “cozy” horror though boggles my mind, though I know there are people out there who are champions for it.

I read that one and enjoyed it, wasn’t a fan of the second book in the series though. I sped finished the audiobook out of sheer spite. Hetero romances just bore me to death. I’m a sucker for good sapphic story line though.
