Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary

Something tells me I'm going to enjoy my rootless cosmopolitan era less than I wanted to.

I'm the person this is meant for -the person who, when hungry, looks at a menu and goes "no there's too many options, I can't choose"- and I absolutely do not want this, I can say that with certainty.

-well, a lot of other things I can think of.

Can the Punk Rock flea market save the soul of Seattle? In 20 years, the institution has seen the city change from a low-stakes, overachieving cultural incubator to the US’s hub of neoliberal corporate capitalism

Surprises me still when Seattle ends up in an international paper, even though this is the US edition.

That said, the Punk Rock Flea Market is the place to get compliments and local art. Highly recommend. Premise of the article may be flawed, but the flea mkt is more likely to save the city than-

Sturgeon?

I'm glad everyone has discovered fiber but why, why, does the can of soda I grabbed at the store advertise added fiber?!

These books seem meant for parents who are upset their kids have hit puberty and are growing up, so that checks out. Or maybe grandparents upset about the same, since I don't know anyone under 70 who would write brand copy like this even if they agree with it. "Clean books."

When two rogue states are in love, sometimes they... no, sorry, my brain just stops there.

I know it is easy to feel utterly powerless right now but do you know what is in our power?

A general strike.

I'm not saying it's easy but I am saying we can support each other through it for a better world.

I just get put straight to voice mail.

US Democratic lawmakers visit Cuba, call on Trump to "bring the rhetoric down" Two Democrats from the U.S. House of Representatives visited Cuba last week, the first such delegation to go to the island this year since U.S. president Donald Trump imposed a de facto oil blockade i...

While @jonathanjackson.house.gov and I were in Cuba, we saw the incredible suffering on the ground of the Cuban people.

It's now critical that the U.S. does not go to war with Cuba, and that we negotiate to end the sanctions and fuel blockade.

Plus a lingering fear that I'd end up in Locke Lamora-level problems, I suppose.

Some days I think about what's going on and think "Wow, I could scam these assholes out of millions and walk away consequence-free while they sing my praises, and neither I nor my family would need to worry about anything again," but then my stupid "conscience" and sense of "ethics" kicks in.

I would be shocked if it were since things can surely get worse!

This story ended so suddenly. So unexpectedly. So... (Sits down to wait with pretend patience)

Maybe the secret audience for their brand is people providing their cats with laps who think that maybe, some day, they'll be able to get up and do "fitness".

I admit my first thought when I saw this headline was "Of course it's HarperCollins doing this."

I always want to do anthology calls but my revision process (sit on draft while it rots for six months, then revise in stages) is simply non-compliant with my desires.

I'm not sure I can make this call since I can buy century eggs and durian at mine.

Not to quibble but dude has never held a paper cup if he thinks you can keep your pinky up while drinking from one.

I created a Discord for my new Indie TTRPG demo

The march I participated in had opportunities for organizing set up with informational stands so people could connect with organizations in their area. This is pretty common at these protests.

My understanding is that replicas are already being made, with a plan to gift them to the museum in exchange for the return of the originals, and the British Museum refuses to have a meaningful conversation about it.

An illustration of a white long haired cat holding a sign that says “no kings”. The drawing is high contrast in reds, blacks and white.

Saturday. Stand up. Fight back.

There is a stand at the farmer's market that does beans, all kinds of beans, and they're so cheap and so good that I have reluctantly been drawn into the cult of Soaking Beans Overnight.

My sister grew up with the early books. I read the first few to her until she could read them herself and we went to a midnight release party once. Those memories are basically hermetically sealed away from the actual books now because JKR is such a rampaging asshole.

Load sacrifices to the geyser here.

How is it that I barely need to bother with proper wound care when a cat bites me, but every time I get a random, tiny paper cut it turns bright red and inflamed for two days and only calms down when I start thinking about calling the nurse hotline and asking for antibiotics?
