And now I understand she was just flirting and might actually be kinda into me

And you don't bring me flowers anymore... (so I had to get my own, and these ones have more than just thorns...)

It's Band Camp Friday y'all! That special day once a month where artists get 100% of your $$ and big tech companies get zero! What's your haul???

I was not at all expecting a lovely moment like this in such a brutal game as Elden Ring...

My friend gave me a voucher for a free ham, which I honestly hadn't realize is a thing grocery stores still offer? It's just the three of us. My kids are gonna be so sick of ham...

It's Bandcamp Friday, ya'll, when artists get 100% of the money you spend! Instead of paying $15 a month to Spotify so they can throw AI slop at you, why not put that money toward the slow but sure investment of your very own music collection which can never be taken away! 🤯

Thanks for replying! Are you aware that the school-day.com domain mail server is being used to host Disney+ phishing scams?

The website looks slightly better than the previous one. The phone number ended up being another dead end voicemail, BUT there's a @sparkrock.bsky.social account! Hi! Are ya'll affiliated with School-Day.com?

Oh, I think it might be part of a larger scam! I called this number, which supposedly has bilingual 24/7 support and was met with a recorded message that was not bilingual (or had a bilingual option), and did not offer any actual support, just a voice mail. But the AI voice was pretty convincing!

Kelley Skovron @kelleyskovron.com · 07/10/2025
This new fake Disney+ scam message is impressively sophisticated, as long as you don't bother to check the email address it's coming from. Even then, it's using a real domain, just not a relevant one. Has it been hijacked? Or part of a larger scam?
A spoof D+ email claiming there's a problem with my account and I need to update my payment info or it will be canceled, which is curious since my D+ account is not currently active...

It's #BandcampFriday, your monthly opportunity to *directly* support favorite musicians by purchasing and downloading their music like we did in olden times so nobody can ever take it from you even if you stop paying for a subscription! (also you can stream it from the bandcamp app on your phone)

Potentially the gayest album ever, and a childhood favorite of mine. Saw her in concert when I was like 8? Insisted on meeting her at the stage door after.

It's one of those days when I'm seriously tempted to just say fuck it all and fire up a new play-through of Elden Ring to de-stress for the remainder of the day. Also, is it weird that I find Elden Ring soothing?

It's POSSIBLE that I have constructed a divination deck comprised entirely of my beloved Yugioh cards, and that meditating on this deck pleases me immeasurably... (and yes, it has 78 cards) #witchsky

It's #bandcampfriday!!! That means artists get ALL the money from your purchase! I just took advantage of the discount being generously offered by @djsabrina.bsky.social (check out their feed for code) so that I could by even MORE music! #bandcamp

Oooookaaaaaay Firefox what the actual fuck did you just do to my new tab page??? I had this page LOCKED DOWN to only display a few links I regularly use and nothing else. Now there are forced sponsored links and a "Popular Today"???? This is a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of enshitification

Cool! The latest version of Ghost.io has direct integration with both the Fediverse and Bsky's AT Protocol, aka "the social web." Not totally sure how it all works yet, but apparently you can follow my witch blog right from your bsky feed using @witch.velvetgraves.com.ap.brid.gy I think?

I'm soooo tempted to see where this goes. Not only is the email address ridiculous, but anyone who's read any of my books would tell you this would be an absolutely terrible match-up. The results would be hilarious. I really want to fish a bit to learn what the grift is, but I probably shouldn't...

I honestly didn't think I could love Liz Harris of Grouper any more than I already did, but choosing this image for her artist pic on Spotify, etc is just the absolute best. Mature women artists giving zero fucks is absolute win!!!! 🥰

On the eve of a very important day, my thoughts drift inevitably back to the character that marked the beginning of this journey. Brigga Lin, shown here dressed in her habitual white hooded robe, was the first trans character I ever wrote.
Book cover for Blood and Tempest, which shows a man wielding a revolver, a woman with a clawed hand, and above them, a trans woman wielding magic-looking stuff that's definitely not in the book but whatever

I slapped a lightweight linux distro on there and use it almost exclusively for writing and research, and that's all i need from it. Also, it looks like shit so it's unlikely someone would try to steal it, and I don't have to worry about marring any precious aluminum surface
