the whole "false memory" phenomenon was popularized to discredit victims of child sexual abuse so I'm very wary of anyone who brings it up to call an abuse victim a liar

The next time Mom wonders where I got my BPD from, I'm going to remind her of all the times she's been up for 18 - 24 hours watching NCIS. In completely, totally unrelated news, good morning...

A job I was looking forward to just fell through because I requested a very basic “please don’t feed my work into the AI garbage chute pls” clause in the contract That was apparently against company policy and non-negotiable If anyone needs a book cover I have an opening in my schedule

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

I don’t talk a lot about my own story of queer self-discovery, in part because it’s not a simple or standard narrative.

But I wrote a guest post about it for @d_l_mayfield’s STRONGWILLED, and it just so happened to come out today, on my actual birthday

A homeless shelter wrote an amicus brief in the Grant’s Pass case. They argued SCOTUS should let the city arrest the homeless because, and I am not shitting you, the ban on doing so meant less people were willing to abide by their “two church services a day and no sex” requirement to sleep inside.

Lightsabers aren't heavy, like a broadsword. Jedi aren't fighting in heavy armor. Force powers aren't proportional to body mass. It's a perfect fictional universe for Slight Woman Kicks All Sorts of Ass in Awesome Sword Fight under consistent rules. Man, culture war whining makes people dumb.

With <50 visitors/day, this website isn't a success. It required a lot of time to design though. What makes it different, is that noise is generated by the browser in real-time. Not audio files. I think quality is top notch. But I am biased ;-) thewhitenoiseplaylist.com

2/5 to "Tevinter Nights" by several authors
It's very uneven. I ended up skimming more than half of them because I simply was not made to care about the characters or the situation.

Yeah, I remember Vioxx. Thought it was going to be a godssend for me since I was allergic to most arthritis drugs. I lasted maybe a week before the stomach side effects drove me away. There's still a little in the back of my head that wonders if it worsened an underlying heart issue.

This installment of the Babylon 5 Rewatch dives into an episode that creator J. Michael Straczynski said Star Trek "would never, EVER do.” We're talking about "By Any Means Necessary"!
