To my friends who are struggling today:
Please know that there are people in this world who love you. 💜 No matter what a friend or family member said to you. No matter what party you didn't get invited to. No matter what invitation you had to decline for your own safety. You are still worth loving. There are people in this world who love you and people who you've not met yet who will love you. 💜 Don't lose hope. 🫂
remember Danny the Car Wiper.
if you celebrate today, or if you don't, if you're happy or melancholy this time of year, however the season finds you, remember: you are made of stars. together we light up the darkest corners of the universe. may peace and joy go with you in the coming year.

@Aradia i heard he was raised by a toothless bearded hag, and schooled with a strap right across his back.
@checkervest probably Fred Olen Ray, because dying on a cheap-looking spaceship from a machete wound that gushes Karo syrup would be only too fitting.

I'd say this ruined my day but my sour mood doesn't hold a candle to the crap the couple victimized by these bastards went through.

@pzmyers "every time you try to do something naughty, we break into the "We're The Knights Of The Round Table" song and dance number from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, including high-kicks!"
if i was writing (co-writing) Metatokyo 2058 / Metatokyo 2061: The Long Shadows Of Destiny today, i'd probably be angling to sell the property to a Chinese mobile dev and make it into one 'a them Genshin Impacts.
i still say that a partially-finished, round-robin, genre-blending, anime-inspired epic that i helped write on a now-shuttered private forum twenty years ago somehow reshaped the future of popular culture through psychic osmosis, otherwise HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS

[me, every morning] "okay, i have this timed out exactly. i'm showered, i'm dressed, i've budgeted five minutes to take my meds, find my keys and out the door, seven minutes on the clock, should leave in plenty of time. just need to put my socks and shoes on."

[brain] "NOW ENTERING 'CONTEMPLATE OWN EXISTENCE FOR AN UNDETERMINED LENGTH OF TIME' MODE"
*twenty minutes later* "...fuck"
i was alive when the promise of tomorrow was enough.
i have not forgotten.

i choose the Infinite Arcade.
it awaits us.
