I am so moved to get to share this with you all: the fourth installment in the Love Letters essay series. Nell, or: This Is Practically The Way It All Happened (give or bloody take), Peter S. Beagle's reflections on a thirty-five year romance with the woman he still calls "my one love".

Sam Nordquist was a Black trans man who was murdered by 5 white cis people in such brutal fashion that a cop on the case called it “the most depraved crime I’ve seen in 20 years.” By stripping Sam of his identity, the NYT violates his memory and perpetuates a culture of racist, anti-trans violence.

On this Valentine's Day, might I suggest reading "The Witch's Wife" by Briar Ripley Page, one of the most romantic and disturbing short stories I've read in a long time? You can check out this tale and twelve other bangers in Lupus in Fabula: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/lupu...

I pride myself as a comic artist but my REAL medium of mastery is Valentines, and I haven't gotten the chance to share that on Bluesky so here's a short hall of fame.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

when I start to get tired and restless at work, one of my strategies is to buy Gushers from the vending machine downstairs. It settles me down because I become preoccupied by key questions like:

If younger folks start making fun of your generation, don’t take it personally; if a younger generation seems silly and incomprehensible to you, don’t be weird about it

Temporarily distracted from crochet by the compulsion to cast on yet another Cupido cowl. Imo, the ideal pattern for a variegated yarn fan who wants to be able to knit without thinking about it

I'm talking to YOU hospital administrators. Stop complying in advance with anti-trans temper tantrums on paper. You owe it to the trans kids you serve to fight for their right to care, not fold at the first salvo.

Crochet update: feeling ready to learn another stitch!

One of the most impressively simple but effective acts of disobedience I’ve seen: socks knitted by the female inmates of the Ravensbrück concentration camp. A small but deliberate knitting mistake at the heel=big blisters on SS-men’s feet. A little discomfort goes a long way, need not be physical

I know a bunch of you have Substacks and while I support you with all my heart, we've known for a while that these guys are right wing dipshits. If you're looking for a non-fash alternative, Ghost is a non-profit and even has a cool horror sounding name! And its not run by right wing dipshits!

I am not trying to be cruel but I agree: it is an enormously bad time to be trying to break into games. It’s a bad time to be a senior+ in games even, & I don’t see it improving soon. By all means, keep making art you care about, but it’s so unlikely to be a “pay the bills” career at this point.

Another practice crochet scrap — this time my initial chain looks too loose rather than too tight, and I definitely am still getting used to crocheting all the way to the end of a row (love that weird little bulge where I missed one lol)

i beg people, re Musk's Nazi salute and other similar trolling, don't get pulled into debating the symbolic meanings of things by these people. it's a trap. you know what it was, i know what it was, we all know. but in the meantime, they're trying to eradicate real human beings.

"This statement marks the completion of the ADL's transition from a civil rights organization to a willing partner in the neo-fascist governing coalition." I love this whole statement. It's nice to see a Jewish organization speaking so strongly in a way that's aligned with my values.
