Wish I could be there!
Not only is it an amazing album, but it wasnβt until later that I learned that Tears for Fearsβ whole thing was rooted in primal scream therapy.
The Classical Latin version of this is great. βOmnes optant mundum regereβ itself feels like a cautionary Roman motto: youtu.be/Xtt78SW-mgg
There are some movies that I absolutely love but I canβt watch again, and Grave of the Fireflies is one. (Come and See and Shoah are two others.)
I havenβt read this, but a lot of my feelings on AI were shaped by his βWhat Computers Still Canβt Doβ, and his lectures on Being and Time gave me a better understanding of it. Dreyfus was a real one.
If history is any indication, nothing will likely happen to them. No one got executed or tried for treason after the Civil War; only about 200 Nazis were defendants in the Nuremberg trials. Between history and the βinvade the Hagueβ law, I expect only a few people at most to face consequences.
Neither can I, honestly.
This makes me so happy to see!
Happy hrtversary, Claire! π
All the books are either pdfs or epub/mobi that you can drop onto any ereader of your choice.
This is especially cool because our bundle is not just transfem-majority, but we have multiple Black participants, multiple global south participants, all demographics that are usually *very* overlooked and marginalized by publishing (self and trade).
Four people bought the bundle and sent me proof of purchase. Iβve not seen anyone ask for a bundle, and the offer ends in a little more than 2.5 hours (1 PM EDT).
If someone wants the bundle, drop me a DM and I will gift it.
I miss Usenet, and the local freenets (some of which allowed people from outside the area to have accounts on).
I miss bboards so much.
Thank you! Someone who wants a bundle, drop me an email so I can gift it to you!
DM is fine!
Itβs an excellent bundle, and itβs a great way to help!
And following @zkat.techβs lead, if someone buys the bundle and sends me proof of purchase, I will send a bundle to someone who canβt afford it. (Offer good for at least five bundles, possibly more.)

hell yeah! one day, one hour at a time. π you got this.
Take care of yourself, and get some more rest. β€οΈ
βWhite Horseβ by Laid Back is another one of those songs. I had no idea until the late 90s that it was a couple of Danish dudes.
Given how many kids were breakdancing to βBeat Boxβ and βClose (to the Edit)β, and βMoments in Loveβ being a Quiet Storm staple, I could kinda see how this could happen. Still hilarious af though.
Just sent something. π
Book cover for Fell From the Crow's Nest, by Katerina MarchΓ‘n. It features a sailing ship at sea on a moonlight night, under attack by tentacles of a sea creature.
I've retitled the thing I'm working on, gotten a book cover (thanks to @benjanun.bsky.social!!!), and it's now getting published to THREE different places!

It is queer and anti-colonialist af!
Iβm not, but I love the term.
Dudeβs a fuckinβ herb. All that money and power, and he gets sad and whiny and vindictive when people donβt like him.
That movie is so achingly beautiful, I bought a 4K player in part to watch it.
