If you live in the US, over the next few days, take a moment to recognize the privilege of being able to sit down to a large meal with your family or friends.

The odds are the you may not know their situation, but you probably know someone who will be spending this week alone, and without much to eat.

Call your local food bank. Ask them what they need. Reach out to friends you haven't seen for a while, ask if they have somewhere to go for the holidays.

True gratitude is shared. Be thankful.

Matt Canada sounds like a Canadian superhero, tbh

It’s hard to believe that there are still people out there arguing that Biden was not legitimately elected, despite all the evidence that he was and no supporting evidence anywhere of any widespread electoral fraud. But let’s not pretend this ended in 2020. In 2024, Trump will claim fraud once more because he simply can’t stand the idea that he might have lost because more than half the voters don’t ever want him back in the White House. We need to prepare for his lies and how his MAGA base might rally to yet another false cause.

My mom put the jesus up a while ago, last night i put the queer flag, and i think its a great combo because A. J man was absolutely hanging out with the queers of the time, and B. The people who come to our door and get agrivated by the “juxtaposition” absolutely deserve to get piss taken out of them.

good magic is about misdirection. great magic is about subverting expectations.

Trying to find my people on Mastodon. Please boost and follow me if you:

-pray to all 33 million Hindu gods each night in case one is actively listening.

-think that every song could be improved by the addition of a fancy little flute.

-don’t understand why we hire construction workers when beavers could do the same work for much less pay.

-suspect that algebra is a hoax created by the mathematics industry to sell more calculators.

Q. What is a LLM?

A. Shorthand for Lilum, a species of half-demon women that companies have imprisoned in cubicles with terminals in them so they can be asked questions by horrible people

Last RT: Um, that, ah, may have been how I started my transition....

Watched the theatrical Star Wars while working on stuff tonight. Turns out my copy has a rare "Mono Mix" that has different effects and takes, and, honestly? I kinda like it.

Aunt Beru has a completely different voice and performance that feels way more natural, all the people talking during the Death Star attack don't have the super distorted radio sound (I never like the original tracks shortwave sideband sound), and a nice explanation of the tractor beam.

I've talked a lot about how ST:TMP's Director's Edition is an almost completely different movie than the theatrical release, but, really, it's funny how just a few changes here and there (as opposed to, you know, changes like Han Shot First), can change how you recieve a movie completely.

Just noticed I have only two super casual t-shirts, and they're Zelda shirts. I should show off my other obsessions.

Yesterday was the Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day where we remember people who were killed for being who they are.

What will you do today to make sure there is no need for a vigil tomorrow?
