iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Decided to reach the end point at the middle, so I guess I need to plan from middle to new end.

Stop using Trump as a club to force your genocide down our throats.

Democratic Senate candidate responds to anti-trans attacks pushed by Republicans

Another Dem throws trans people under the bus—and then backs the bus up over them. Reminds me so much of Harvey Gantt and every other homophobic “hope” that Dems run. “Be realistic! You can’t expect people not to beat you to death!” Dems say. What a shit party. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Unfortunately for me, it’s something I never manage to do, so I don’t ask these questions or try to convince others. I just write.

Ah. You are probably right about that.

I like dog o’clock. It’s dog o’clock here too.

I get that. I’m just one of those readers who is not of interest to the industry. For me, the product of the industry is a mountain of bleah, but I get that most people like it, and how nice for them.

Adult books aren’t interesting either

Also horrifying: secondhand book sales is a problem???

Maybe the author needs an update as well: Withering Heights, by Emily Brontay.

OK, but shouldn’t the title be updated to Withering Heights?

My elevator pitches wildly from genre to genre, which is why it no longer goes to the top floor.

How did you know I needed capybara curse-lifting?

With my dog, I figure it out, then in a day or two he does too. Sometimes I succeed and celebrate. Finally! And 10 min later there’s the pill on the carpet and I think, how? How! How!?!

@mumblers.bsky.social made it the #LitQuake small press fair. This is late in the day, more than half the books gone.

Well, not google, since that search engine has been deliberately degraded for some time. But Qwant works well.

It’s so much fun, and touching as well.

I was hoping that was not the point, but having difficulty parsing it that way. I’ve run into enough socialists who view mass murder as a mere unsavory detail of an otherwise noble anticolonial crusade (while also cheering on Russian colonialism) that the lines have seriously blurred.

For you, the dead don’t count, I guess.

That’s our primary function.

I know you asked for no advice, but seriously, don’t fight a land war in Asia.

#Firstdraftfall #weeknightwriters A comic horror called “An Atheist in Hell”. Very gay. AIDS related. Involves decapitations, demons and #Daoism.

Is that right? Oh no! So sorry.

Or, not sepsis. Maybe you just watched Trump speak.

Astonishing and evil. (For future reference, you can register your copyright yourself. Costs $65. Not a smooth process, though.)

Happy birthday! But don’t touch my hippos!

Too many manga. I read this “Clamor Dubious A”.

If AI disappeared tomorrow I would not notice.

Also, I am getting a dexamethasone injection in my foot for a neuroma tomorrow. Feel free to recommend something back

Try Red Dot, by yours truly. Scifi m/m romance. Tongue in cheek

The way so many people argue this is normal is nauseating. Don’t vote for anyone who waffles on the word “genocide.” We’ve all seen it. Don’t accept this.

So they are going to capture Trump and deport him to Scotland? That’s how I read this.
