Archive of our own (a fanfiction archive site, for the unaware) won a Hugo. Best related works, 2019.

With FU, food's pretty easy, yeah. Enough that it's frankly more of a pain in the ass busywork thing than something even remotely interesting. Was tooling around with FU a few weeks back, and after being persistently irritated by the food clock shite for a while I made a new character on... whatever the mode is where you don't have to eat... and never looked back. Massive quality of life improvement, ha.

Incidentally, unless it was some other mod I had running that let me do it, there's this thing for shuttlecraft that lets you replace your mech with the craft. Huge benefit, since mech-shuttle replacement costs nothing and uses no fuel. Makes mech stuff also far, far less of a PitA.

The proper response to genocide idolaters and their busom buddies is deplatforming, prison, and similar such things, hopefully before the point it reaches our older response to that sort of shit getting out of control. Letting them demonstrate unopposed just sends the message there's actually a place in society for their filth, and there really shouldn't be.

Unfortunately it's damn evident at this point the fucking cops et al aren't going to do half the shit about it they do about things like antifa groups, even when what antifa et al are opposing is the primary source of domestic terrorism and extremist murders in this country. Until that changes, well...

Is it just me, or does antifa only exist/show up to crash far-right protests
it's in the name yes :P

But yeah, stopping fash demonstrations in particular is like the only actual thing these not-organizations exist for. Stopping such demonstrations prior to their existence or crashing them where they show up is basically their entire reason to be.

That's... actually a thought. Tallahassee's probably the main option for departure (panama city and dothan are roughly similar trips, but panama's still kinda' rekt), and there's definitely a bus route involved. Be a bit more complicated logistics wise since I'd need dropoff/pickup, but still. I'll have to look into it a bit more.

Could you take a flight to Atlanta and use Ubers or whatever to get around?
In some kind of theoretical sense, but a flight ticket on top of everything would tip financial concerns way over my line. Quick check suggests that would somewhere between double and triple the cost involved, even discounting gas et al.

Right now I'm probably just... going to get their new album or something. Maybe an extra copy of whatever has Dragons on it to donate to the library. Y'know, support without having to contend with Atlanta. Maybe I'll get frisky between now and then, I'unno.

Eesh, conflicted. Caravan Palace will be doing a show within relatively reasonably reachable distance, at the end of october. On the one hand I could afford to go and I fucking love those folks' music. On the other it would entail a five-ish hour drive... and dealing with driving in Atlanta. The probably 200-ish buck pricetag (tickets, overnight stay, gas) and five hour drive isn't that bad, but.... Atlanta. Fucking Atlanta. Fucking Atlanta traffic. Atlanta traffic. Atlanta traffic is fucking miserable. Super miserable. So. Conflicted. I literally add hours to drives to avoid Atlanta and its traffic, but. Caravan Palace ;_;

As long as you don't involve the books in the intercourse....
Or rather, if you do, just go ahead and tear up some useless pages or something, say you accidentally damaged them, and pay for a replacement, rather than leave a surprise for the librarians to eventually deal with. Water damage and its equivalents are among the worst and hardest to deal with things that can happen to a book, so give appropriate reparations for anything you inflict on them. Please bibliofuck responsibly.

That'd be it, yes. Not the railway, the other one. Cuckold would have worked as well (it was the serial killer's new wife/target the romance element focused on), but it's not as phonetically pleasing to me.

E: In other news, I've now learned that pringles makes better soup seasoning than it does chips. Cheese ones crushed up and put in some cream of chicken (along with some other stuff) is a notable improvement from my normal mixture.

New sandra brown book, Outfox. As near as I can tell from jacket blurb and reviews, its plot can be summarized as "fake fbi agent NTRs the serial killer that banged and murdered his mother, in order to get revenge".

The longer I work with properly published books, the more I come to realize fanfiction and webnovels and whatnot actually aren't as relatively shitty as I had thought.

That's not really his position, though, otherwise you'd see a shitload of support for prenatal care and various other reproductive and women's health services, to further mitigate the possibility of miscarriages and whatnot. Far as I'm aware, the vast majority of abortions (and otherwise pregnancy ending events) are entirely natural, don't require outside assistance as the body handles that itself, and in many cases is preventable by ensuring better conditions and general health for the mother.

You can fucking bet this piece of shit isn't trying to help much on that front, and is probably backing crap that makes some or all of that notably worse.

Joe Lutcher (ojai is friggin' amazing, see music thread for link) is apparently the man who convinced Little Richard to (temporarily) give up music to go on a preaching tour together, as the Little Richard Evangelistic Team. Music can be a trip, some days.

... it's a DF reference, not an avengers one. Probably. Something to do with a quirk in the dialogue engine after one of the major updates, iirc. Don't quite remember when it happened, but it was prior to 2019.

Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Allegedly committed suicide while on suicide watch.

Heads will roll.

Bonesaw may or may not be included.
Apparently he was off suicide watch by then, for... some reason.

Also, quite possibly the most fucking suspicious "suicide" I've heard about in years. International underage sex trafficker with connections up to and including the president of the united states, conveniently commits suicide right as shit starts getting unsealed. Come the fuck on, this shit wouldn't pass a schlock mystery editor.

Noticed folks putting up a sign for what seems to be a new hotel. The OYO hotel. Was just, like. Welp! Found the whorehouse, ahahawhatthefuckareyoupeopledoing.

I don't know if I actually want to know, but there was definitely a smidge of wonder if anyone involved in that business is aware they're a tits emoticon. And if they're not, how the hell they missed it.
