This right here. If it were an individual doing what these companies are doing the FBI would have shut it all down now. So I guess companies are only treated as people when it comes to religious exemptions for birth control. Got it.

These two are terrible public officials and being weirdos by yelling about trans folks is a cover so you won’t look at how terrible they actually are.

The potato got a bath yesterday and friends, she was so tired she required a couch nap before bed. #Corgi #CorgiCrew #CorgiSky

A photo of Feferi, the red and white Corgi, stretched out blinking sleepily on a gray couch. Her head is resting on a colorful pillow with playful drawings of sardine cans.

Ok I’m going to cook some dinner for the first time in like a week. Kids moved out and I’ve already forgotten how to make food that isn’t salad, yogurt, or having pizza delivered.

All of this governmental procedure business on The West Wing is so adorable. Pretending that anyone follows any sort of norms these daysis so quant and old fashioned.

Solstrix -->WEBCOMIC RELEASED!!! @s0lstrix.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

!!The first page of my gothic horror webcomic is now up at the following link!!: charcoal-heart.thecomicseries.com I am out of my mind excited to finally be sharing it! Updates on Wednesdays, subscribe on Comic Fury or follow me here to never miss a page~

The cover art for Charcoal Heart, a comic by Solstrix. The lower half of the page is mostly taken up by a large victorian manor, surrounded by ivy and rose bushes. Standing in front of it is a woman's figure dressed in vibrant green silks. Looming amongst the storm clouds roiling in the background is barely visible a skull-like face.

Before they left for college my youngest kid made me a birthday card and left it with @misty.granades.com and here it is with the card’s inspiration.

A Corgi looks at the camera, ears alert, all brown eyes and black nose. I’m holding a small card next to her that has a drawing of her. The drawing is a remarkable likeness of said Corgi.

Starting “Clue” now. May or may not be live posting this watch. This was a staple watch for my group of nerd friends in high school. A whole bunch of us would gather at mine or LB’s house & we’d quote it at each other loudly. Not in touch with any of those folks any more but those are good memories.

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I am well aware of the political realities of Alabama, far more than most of you who don't live here, and when people reply that it will never happen then I block them because I don't have time for loser shit. And loser shit is not trying & failing. It's not trying at all.
