Hey friends, one of our own -- pervy, Polyam, etc. -- is in need! Every little bit helps! www.gofundme.com/f/nmtea-supp...

Does anyone know the etiquette or timeline for following up with a literary agent who has your full manuscript? How many weeks should I wait, or do I just leave them alone until they reach out? Help please

In a world where we could have strong resistance leadership, we do not. bsky.app/profile/ezra...

Mrs. AP and I tried to prepare for the overwhelm. We tried to prepare for eventualities like this one. We probably fell short, as did most everybody we know. I don't know if that's okay. We'll find out? In the interim, well, the best time to get involved locally is Before, & second best is Now.

Sex workers have been telling people this for years, they refused to listen to us dirty whores

Let's recap the last several days, shall we? DIL went to a party on the 4th, despite being warned of the elevated risk of catching something & asked directly by us to not go. By Thursday the whole 8 of us had Noro. DIL says she did nothing wrong, & that "we're unreasonable." She has no idea.

Coming down the backside of Norovirus hitting the house. Despite the fact that I posted warning articles to the family chat AND specifically asked people to stay home except for essentials, the DIL went to a wrap party for a seasonal gig and brought home the plague. One more straw upon the back...

On the one hand it's been 2 years since we moved North and we still have no local friends, much less potential partners. On the other hand Mrs. AP is immunocompromised and the pandemic has never really gone away, just mildly reduced, so leaving the house is a risky endeavor. I hate this timeline.

Mrs. AP found the source of the furniture we want -- those who make it for the U.S. "manufacturer" -- and thought we'd be able to furnish bedrooms on the cheap-ish. BUT! ... It ships from China, we can't guarantee it would be here before Jan. 20, and we can't afford the incoming tariffs. Fuck!

I'm old enough to remember the crash after the DotCom bubble burst. This is going to be so much worse.

Fucking well is now an act of defiant rebellion. Get to it, everyone.

I've not been active here for some time. Who should I be following? Have all my friends from that other place also arrived here? Anyway, I'll just be over here, floundering.

Reports state that Trump's strategy for tonight's debate is to insult and taunt Joe Biden until President Biden finally comes to the stage to replace Kamala Harris. When advisors explained to Trump that this is not possible, he told them "It happens in wrestling. I've seen it happen in wrestling".

Rest well, goodest girl.

The massive success of discount Tuesdays (multiple original films leaping in gross after underperforming weekends) tells us something very important and useful about keeping theatrical film alive: PEOPLE GO TO THE MOVIES MORE WHEN TICKETS COST LESS.

Only took me 6 months to see through a narcissist's bullshit this time instead of 6 years. Anyway, turns out Mrs. AP and I don't, and never really did, have a girlfriend.

Today, finish more laundry, start packing. Tomorrow, more packing, do a grocery run. Friday, final packing sign off, load the car. Saturday morning, grab the toiletries bag, get in the car and zoom. Sunday afternoon/evening, reach out destination, reunite with our LDR girlfriend. 😍
