I’ve now observed a Florida news channel say something to the effect of “I’ve never heard of so many sharks near shore” every year for the past 8 years, at least. You have heard of it my dude. From yourself, last year. Enough with the fearmongering.

FYI: If you're in Korea and someone cute asks you in for ramen (ramyun/라면) please keep in mind it's the equivalent of 2010's "Netflix and Chill".

They’re gonna ban TikTok because the KPOP army made fun of his empty rally that got his internet guru fired. The right made one of the world’s richest men buy Twitter because we were bullying fascists and organizing. American journalism has become almost exclusively transcribing tweets.

"The influx of younger and female fans has rejuvenated the league, making it the envy of other professional baseball leagues globally."

"Photos of fans cheering in team uniforms at games are popular content on social platforms."

Interesting!

I donated some stuff and all told it may bring upwards of $800 to voting orgs (more than I can personally donate; I'm just covering some modest mailing costs). It blows my mind! Incredible work!

I am not kidding when I say that Romancing the Vote has out-organized and done more to materially improve conditions in the southeastern US than any explicitly leftist org. Romancelandia ain't here to fuck around.

More bad news about Meemaw. I'm flying out to see her Sunday and not sure there is anything I can do to help. I hate feeling this useless.

It's so frustrating. Promo and networking in a lot of ways feels like I'm completely starting over. Most sites were never very useful, even if you paid for promo *coughs* Facebook *coughs* but Twitter used to be effective for networking and promo. Here, I kind of feel guilty using hashtag feeds.

In a purely bloodless, bottom-line sense, nuking the Iron Circus Twitter of +20k followers would make no appreciable difference to our results. Zero! How the fuck did it all rot away this quickly? ...I mean, I know the partial answer, we all do. But still.

When you run a store or a BackerKit, you can see all the analytics. Where people come from. It can get really granular. We launched the Lackadaisy store rebuild a few hours ago, and sales are humming along, and. Twitter isn't even in the top 5 referrers. Unthinkable, 5 years ago.

Kids just getting started trying to be independent artists will never experience or understand what a real "grass roots" support network on Twitter or whatever can be like. I've mentioned this before but early Kickstarters I ran? 1/3rd of the funding was from Twitter.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

It's the one and only time I've felt badass for carrying enough benadryl with me at all times to supply a small country.

Me: "But I do have that knife..." Him: *stares in allergist* I'm still not 100% convinced he understood that his attempt to deter me was really weak. I mean, I have benadryl with me at all times... I'm basically carrying around a knife to foil all potential histamine attackers.

When watermelon popped up on my testing, allergist asked, "Did you know you're allergic to watermelon?" Me: "Yeah, but it's not too bad." Him: *flatly* "Continuing to expose yourself is like walking into a dark alley known for muggers." Me: "I always have benadryl." Him: "Fine, you have a knife."

As Bree likes to remind us, the accumulation of $1-25 donations adds up a lot too! We’re very lucky to have some large-amount donors, but every $35 helps get another voter prepared.
