So... I just got hit with some really big financial stuff. If about three thousand people could spare a few bucks to buy a book, that would be fantastic. 😭 Links in bio for everywhere my books are sold. I get higher royalties from Itchio and my shop.nptwrites stores than from other places.

All the "outrage" in the world means nothing unless they actually intend to DO something about it beyond strongly worded letters and useless speeches.

Seriously, with AI absolutely destroying the information ecosystem, Britannica should be jumping to put out a physical copy of their latest offering on disc and/or hardcover.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Those kidnappers are SO going to get their asses kicked. 😏

Democrats and corporate institutions, you can't be civil with fascists. You can't be objective and do "both sides" with fascism, corporate media. Neutrality is cowardice and complicity.

Stuck between "I really need to get some writing done" and "holy crap is this going to be the day the Americans decide they've finally had enough" and "wtf is happening with this Iran/Israel thing" and maybe I should just watch mindless TV and eat cheesecake instead. 😣

Right fucking now. If a Republican Senator had been treated like this, the Democratic president would already have been impeached.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Can we refer to America as a fascist state now? 😐

Is it Friday yet? I have had a headache since I got up this morning and it still hasn't gone away and I just want to take a nap in a dark room. Roofers on the house next door for the past two days aren't helping things. 😣

Why do I get the sense that Canada's AI strategy will be to give private companies with sharehodlers in foreign countries a bunch of money to do sweet fuck all or to fire their domestic employees?

Question for #GardenSky: During my garden inspection this morning, I found tiny black worms on my asparagus fronds. Anyone know what they are & whether they are bad? I really don't want to lose that bed; just started it last year and was hoping to be able to start harvesting lightly next year. 🌱

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.
