Yeah your reply has nothing to do with my thread. Fuck off.

What does this have to do with my thread? Or were you just term-searching for something you could reply to?
(yeah I also want them to actually *do* it)
Like, I get that it would fuck our economy in ways I don't have the education to fully grok (though I recognize that our economy is already fucked in other ways, & this would be a relief to many). But holy shit, even *threatening* to do this drives the extant wedge deeper, which is its own "win."
Like, one of the best ways to destabilize an opposing country is to stoke internal divisions among its populace. This is why Russia's social media interference in the last decade+ has been so devastating. And wiping cc debt strikes directly at our current class gulf. Diabolical. I almost admire it.
Fucking genius move.
Yuuup. Game stores are decent litmus tests but not guarantees of success.
I will say, seeing how a dude responds to losing at his fave game - esp if it's to a woman! - is Very Illuminating. But the results are not universally Good.
Good morning.
Today's sales continue to raise funds to send Becky to class. LGBTQIA+ staffed and owned, we ship for free over $50 in the US, will combine shipping, and a flat $5 otherwise. International USPS rates apply!
They're SO GOOD! I got into them bc an artist friend did work for them and I've been hooked ever since!
A photo of a hardbound notebook with an illustrated cover (depicting a tan, blonde woman in a field holding an orange tree branch, two foxes at her feet) with elastic strap, pen loop holding a fountain pen, and my business name in silver embossing.
My Mossery notebook:
"I don't know if I need to join a stationery group, it's not really a hobby of mine..."
-- me, with a huge Stickii sticker collection, a Monteverde fountain pen, and a custom-embossed Mossery journal, plus enough art supplies that I need separate drawers for "good writing pens" and "drawing pens."
A tan and gray tabby/tortoiseshell mix curled up behind my wife's blanket-clad legs, her front paws crossed and her chin lifted with her eyes closed in smug contentment.
The cat pinned my wife to the couch for a change instead of me, and was looking VERY smug about it:
The problem with nostalgia is by not releasing its grip on the past, it warps the past beyond recognition. Which can be fun in small doses but creates a culture of death worship if you overindulge.
Mind, the agent we talked to today seemed very nice, BUT she clearly didn't have the training/support she needed, so I blame the corporation, not her.
- person handling our case seems woefully unprepared/untrained for even the basics
- we have to reschedule with some money else at another location bc we need more than the basics this year
- made an appointment online
- got a call to reschedule our appointment bc the online scheduler "doesn't work"
- wife has to leave work early for the new appointment
- I take days getting tax info together
The "sink money into lobbying against competition for our services and not the actual services we provide" enshittificarion of HR Block is pretty bad rn y'all.
Okay fair haha
Also Killjoys!
Now do Miller
Holy COW!!

Back on my bullshit ๐
Sneak peek at one of the beauties coming to @peculiarityshop.bsky.social this spring!
Literally what do the ultra-rich *do* with their money if they're not using it to help people?? I can't imagine the kind of mindset where my first instinct isn't to uplift my community.
(I guess their definition of "community" is just radically different than my own... *sigh*)
The *first* thing I did when I got my inh3ritance was buy a bucket list piece of art. The *second* thing I did was help people/orgs. God, what I could do if I were a billionaire. What even are the 1% *for*??
Gathering charity tax records from last year (when I threw a bunch of Gramma!$ at my favorite orgs and people) and god, I know it's a drop in the bucket, but I'm so glad I could help people in these dark times.
Saw an ad talking about "the AI gold rush" and like. My buddy my pal. The actual Gold Rush didn't make everyone who went insta-rich. There was a lot of hard labor & exploitation, & most people made a pittance or ended up in debt.
...wait, that's actually a perfect analogy, carry on.
Tonight my #ChangelingTheDreaming players were saved from dealing with an Autumn Person at a country club (in 1969 FL) by botching their roll to sweet-talk the doorman into letting them into a party there. Sometimes rolling poorly SAVES YO ASS.
if you see this, post a knight.
