Sometymes evil doth seeme so powerful that the heart groweth sick. But ther ys comfort yn the fact that evil ys an aberration. Our default settinge ys lovinge each othir and lookinge out and takinge care. We smyle at children. We give somebodye bus fare. We share advyce. Kyndenesse ys braverye.

You’re braver and more dedicated than any US marine.
I, a practicing Witch for 30 years, will confidently back you up on this.
I can say, with some measure of certainty, that I, a Jewish atheist whose entire religious upbringing involved being in a Quaker meeting for about 8 minutes when I was 9, have a better understanding of Catholicism than Couchfucker Vance.
Was that careful enough?
The sea is as smooth as glass! Truly an enchanted evening.
THROUGH DARKEST EUROPE is an alt hist set about now in a universe where Islam developed science, technology, and representative government while Western Europe got stuck in, well, piety. It's also a sort of meditation on terrorism.

I hope this has a happy ending!
First week of actual drawing class I kept reaching for cmd-z whenever I drew a line I didn’t like.

If it passes the senate we are going to need to drive up north and put sand in any construction vehicles. Make it too expensive to do anything.
a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position
Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.
It's perfectly reasonable. Why wouldn't you score an interview?What have we Jews ever done to make the Catholic Church angry?
Um, wait. I'm getting a text...oh. Oh no.
Do not, under any circumstance, make contact with the Vatican.
