yeah I legit thought for a minute that there was something wrong with my phone or wi-fi because tumblr's never down, that can't be it 😅😅😅
I do not just throw out praise for Senate Dem leadership, but this is good. It’s what we need now - Dems using their leverage where they’ve got it and refusing to budge. Make GOP own this lawless goon squad. No Dem votes for it. Support Dems who are fighting back now regardless of past beefs.
it fucken SNOWEE

Shadowhunters podfic cover
It's spooky time of year, so here's a reminder that there's both a story AND a podfic now for your consuming pleasure archiveofourown.org/works/52652392
wanna throw in that comments are especially valuable right now. not for lame algorithm meanings, but because they're the most likely to make the artist feel good. i've seen a lot of artists quitting because they don't get any meaningful feedback, so they don't see a reason to bother posting. (1/2)
Maybe it’s because I’m a state legislator, but I’m worried about the under reaction here. She didn’t spend the night on the House floor. She’s being DETAINED AGAINST HER WILL BY REPUBLICANS UNTIL SHE FOLLOWS THEIR ORDERS. This is 🦇 💩
From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI"
GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰

And while it is another expense, most domains are pretty cheap.
why do places that overtly wish to have lots of people show up so often half-ass the sidewalks?

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
okay this is a CALL FOR ESSAY PITCHES!

Queen Demon, showing Kai dressed in dark teal and purple and gold, with a veil, jumping downward, coat flowing behind him.
