While I was struggling with protecting my mom's site from the bot swarm I kept asking everyone who is still in the industry how small sites who don't have a kid with a computer science degree survive and the answer was pretty much "they don't" and that's so grim

I remember seeing it in hashtags on Twitter and thinking it was a parody, and no, they were in all seriousness.

It's Halloween when you dress up as "something scary", they must be cats in costume.

Yeah. I've been mostly staying out of it because they immediately went to "Not all men, but always a man" and people denying women being rapists triggers me and I get unreasonable, so.

I took an evening class in a dodgy area and I was shocked all the women were all happy to leave the 14 year old waiting on her own in the dark "because she was annoying". And she was not savvy - I told her to text her dad and tell him I would be waiting with her, and she goes "Why?"

I thought I would draw some cats with mushrooms today... then I thought I'd just check if I'd done that before.... turns out I have drawn quite a few mushrooms with cats :D

I've given it 40 years and I can't remember the last time it was worth getting out of bed. I have no idea how I can earn enough to make it through this month, never mind the next or the next. I can't just "try harder". I am exhausted.

Don't marry anyone who won't listen to you in/about an emergency. (There was an IG straight people meme about that re: "Would your spouse listen if you yelled 'Get in the house!' and a guy was recounting his wife being so busy wanting more info she nearly walked into a bear...)

I am very tired of things being so bleak. I just don't see any particular way out of things. I haven't for a long time, but I've been waiting in case my meds actually helped. Instead things just keep going downhill.

...maybe groggy is not when I should try and combine 2 completely different Godot tutorials to make something I don't understand. (Though my main issue is one is a static image and one is animated. So they're handled different.)

I wanted to put some pumpkins on my stream for the spoop month but I couldn't trust what I found online wasn't AI, so I made some in MSPaint. Feel free to use them if you want, they're nothing special. The first two are based off my robots, the third is random and the 4th is Ortomi flavoured.

Bookstores should also take note. Your Banned Books Week displays can actively, positively impact the livelihoods of living authors whose books have been banned. And it's super easy to avoid including harassers (Gaiman, Alexie) and/or bigots (Rowling) on your displays. Be thoiughtful.

If the weather breaks cold before I'm able to get shrimps I am going to be so miffed. My snails are behaving nicely for once, but even if I don't get a fish this winter, I'd like to have Shrimp TV. (Faster-paced than Snail TV.)

Right, I still feel like death warmed up, but I'm death warmed up with a bag of pears, so that's a start. If anyone wants me, bring ice. (I'll be fine, I'll just be mad about it. I really don't have time for this, but apparently it's non-negotiable.)

They've removed it from my post - it was the graph about how far kids of various ages are allowed to go according to parents. I am skeptical both of the data, and the people going "Yes, this seems correct".

Give over - 16% of 17 year olds aren't allowed past their front gate? And you're taking this seriously? 30% can't leave their street? Talk about falling for anything if it confirms your biases.

And Mastercard and Paypal haven't let up in their attempt to force websites to ban LGBTQ media and users. It has not gotten any easier to make a living off queer books. Mark Twain doesn't need the help. Thousands of queer, indie books you haven't heard of do.

I'd like to once again remind you for #BannedBooksWeek that Huckleberry Finn and Animal Farm don't need you to go out of your way to read them. Instead, support a book, and author, who a ban can actually hurt.
