I'm writing a story—far enough removed from to be considered entirely my own work, but arguably 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳-adjacent—in which the antagonist is a tech tycoon who takes advantage of an upcoming catastrophe in order to pull some eugenics nonsense. Yes, it's a shot at someone whom we all could name.

My kitty is okay. Diagnosis seems to be "she's twenty...and also, uveitis. Apply these eye drops and check back in a few days."

I was going to grumble about HeroForge and how I'm not posting to the dead bird site, but I need to take my senior kitty to the vet again and that seems more important.

At this point in time? It's probably safe to say that if corporate interests have an opinion on what is or isn't good business or workplace policy, the exact opposite is probably true.

I've been futzing around in , trying to up my pose game. So far, the end result has been a lot of two-character minis. Mostly , even though I wouldn't even call them my favorite (up there among the core races, though). Mostly cradling swooning in their arms. Multiple gender configurations thereof.

Can I just search Pinterest for weird architecture 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 getting a metric fuckton of incoherent messes churned out by some AI toy? As in: who do I have to injure in order for that to happen?

On an up note: her meds are working wonders. She'll be twenty this year, and the vet had a hard time believing it.

So seems to have fucked it up yet 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯. Timelines and the homepage on the bird site are completely empty all of a sudden. The only one of my tweets that still seems to exist is the one from right after it happened, saying more-or-less what I'm saying here.

I am having hell's own time writing some aliens, and my kitty has been diagnosed with a chronic illness. 😖

Anyway: I'm not sure if I'm more contemptuous of that infantile, clunky-looking, fish-faced conflict-gem trust fund brat , or his negative-dignity simp brigade. Tough call, really.

I already submitted a ticket, but you apparently can't access CoSo if you have Surfshark VPN active. This is a problem.

[TW: mentions of child sexual abuse.]

There is a damn troll at Threads. 😒 If you're over there: report and block this creep.

I finally managed to heckle (Alpha Incel) into blocking me. Spicer is next.

After that, though...I think I might actually be done with the bird site. is willfully turning it into a cesspool. (And also genericizing it.)

I need help finding a . I believe it was based out of the UK, and it sold weird, brightly-colored polymer clay fantasy-creature-head (almost like "vegan taxidermy," if that helps). Melita Curphy had nothing to do with it, but the style was similar to hers. And I believe it was somehow connected to a game setting.

I'm working on a prop for a game. An 18-inch party balloon (still not to scale even with starships) was involved, as will a bottle of Stuart Semple's black paint if I have anything to say about it.
