@socketwench - I'm being silly.
I think at times like these, when someone important dies, it's good to stop and reflect on how they made you happy.
Rest in peace, Japanese racehorse Haru Urara. You didn't win any of your 113 races, but at least you kept trying. The true embodiment of perseverance. And you never hired a bunch of buses to ship people into Washington DC for the January 6th insurrection, or run a giant propaganda company. You were, by far, the most beloved being to die this week.
Jenn: Wench. Don't....don't do it. Don't Donnnnnnnnnnt....
@vriska - Sex 2: The Wrath of Cum
The Atari 2600 is 47 years old. For the first few years it was sold as the Atari Video Computer System or Atari VCS, but it will always be the 2600 to me. My first console, I spent maybe thousand of wonderful hours playing games on it.

As a brown transwoman in the Pacific Northwest, I'm feeling safer already.

This Week's Meals: Curried Beef Stew
I'm not the biggest fan of Far Wastern curry dishes, as I prefer the more spicy savry dishes to the sweeter ones you find in China and Japan. But this is a nice middle ground, serving an excellent curry flavor, without it being too sweet, or too spicy. And your kitchen smells great as it cooks.
Mine needed a touch more salt but otherwise, awesome.
