Deadly Osmanthus Soup

My ebike is turning out to be a well-timed purchase...

Urgent warning to residents of southern Lebanon: Hezbollah’s terrorist activities are forcing the Defense Army to act against it with force. The Defense Army does not intend to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately. Anyone who is near Hezbollah members, its facilities, or its weapons puts his life at risk. Any house used by Hezbollah for military purposes may become a target. To the residents of southern Lebanon, you must go right away to the north side of the Litani River to ensure your safety—evacuate your homes immediately and move northward beyond the Litani River. Be aware that any movement southward will endanger your lives.

Quick translation of the IDF statement ordering all of south Lebanon's population to immediately leave.

Keep in mind that Israel has never stopped bombing south Lebanon since the 'ceasefire.' They are now taking the next step to destroy as much of the country as they can.

Thank you for your prayers, everything is here, correct, and was well bagged. Miracles can happen.

My Instacart shopper just got my (admittedly small) order in under 20 minutes with no replacements at all on a Friday morning. Please pray for my beef stew.

If you're showing out of the blue on my post, you can already stop offering to be a beta reader because I don't know or trust you. Cease your term searching and auto-replying. Go away. Shoo. You are not wanted in this house.

If I get to take this work trip, I am 200% hitting it up.

Karla is close to her goal!!! go go go!!! (this is in pesos gfm didnt do exchange rate properly)

I'd fight the world for them, your honor.

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.

This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

GUESS WHAT? Go on, guess. It's Xena & Callisto again, you may remember them from other such posts of mine like, 'Xena x Callisto,' & the surprise sequel, 'More Xena x Callisto,' plus more. It's the one with Xena standing over Callisto telling her to stay down and Callisto is like, "Gladly <3" y'know, classic Callisto stuff. I added a little background of GREENERY, like the threat of a fern and a whisper of some grass, stuff like that. Plus some peachy pink sky. #myart

Added a background to this Xena/Callisto piece so I could make some nice prints and I think it turned out PEACHY

Selena, Nick, and Torrey from "Third Eye" having a horrifying story time. Selena sits in a creepy throne with a braiser on the side and a spooky gargoyle perched at the top. Whatever she's reading is represented by a word bubble with a skull in it. Torrey sits, gleefully listening to the story. Nick is concerned about the skullbubble.

I'm looking for a narrator for the Third Eye's first audiobook!

This is a role for black voice actors with a strong focus on comedy and character voices- including men, women, monster-men and monster-things. May lead into further work.

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.

Daily writing update: around 2.5k more words and I’m realizing I desperately need a writing buddy/beta reader who can somehow keep pace and give me feedback who I’m also not wildly embarrassed by sending things to. I’m shy. I just wanna go back to my LJ days spiritually.

LA is not a real place but for very different reasons than the SF Bay.

Just so you know, you cursed me with this so I cursed the whole discord vc.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Lemme just... *covers Gladios' mouth with tape and hog ties him*

Maybe after I write the Great American Smut Novel, since that's apparently my creative hyperfixation right now.

I also have this in pink, it's so good.

Oh my god, I want updates like every hour on the hour. Tell me more forever!

I once had an idea for something with suburban wine moms where the playset could be mundane, a little Murder She Wrote, or full on paranormal CW show. This kinda makes me want to go back to that at some point.

You’re so right, I’m gonna go write another couple hundred words and also get my work done without bricking my phone of my own accord and hubris.

Yes, I did figure this out by doing it. Of course that’s how I found out.

Turns out this shoulder injury has a much more ridiculous origin point. It’s happening because of how I lean my chin on palm to think while I’m laying down. That’s how I hurt myself. Thinking too hard where I’m not supposed to be thinking. If anyone wants to get me a lap desk for my bed…
