Yeah, they’ve been talking about this for years. This is not a surprise. I was linking to articles – both here on Lemmy and back in the day on Reddit – pointing this out years ago, and especially before the election when the talk was about both candidates being the same on Gaza. Trump/Kushner’s plan was full speed genocide so they could turn Gaza into a Trump-based resort.

It’s absolutely insane how much Bargain Bin Penguin has ratfucked society for the past 50+ years. And he’s still doing it.

That’s all fine because she’s soft and purrs at you when you don’t feel good.

Knitting.

Have you ever dragged 100% wool yarn across your teeth?

This makes me feel that. Not sure why.

This makes me feel like I’m eating my own tongue. Glass is only slightly less bad.

But… document your code.

Hahahaha for who?!?

Uh… for future you!

Me to future me: lol no

She’s flexible.

And she has small paws.

Must be. He had no reaction to yellow or red.

That’s so weird.

I’ve always heard that cats are basically colourblind, but I used to have a cat that was terrified of the colour orange. He bit an orange extension cord as a baby, and would avoid anything orange after that. Not red, not yellow, only bright orange.

We had a bright orange blanket, and if you dropped him onto it, he’d spring away like it was a trampoline.

Democracy is weak against fascism. That’s a lot of our current problem, and why democracies slip into fascism whilst moving towards socialism is harder.

There are ways to fix that, but they require an educated populace. And that’s why fascists work so hard to keep us misinformed.

It would be nice to get the communism whilst skipping the being shot step for a change.

Ooh, just wait til it becomes ‘not publishing or speaking about something that will get you labelled a communist and publicly shot’.

That one is coming soon.

My ancestors are ashamed.

(And thanks. :) )

Stop pushing. We’ve summoned enough snails.

I had my son at 28, not by 24. Speedrun: FAILED.

Oh, and wrote my first novel at 50. Also FAILED, apparently.

Aye. Now give me your gold for it.

If you don’t, I’ll send my legions to kill your youth.

Thank you!

I didn’t know my book was being resold on bookshop.org – thanks! They’re likely placing orders on my Amazon listing then reshipping (that’s the only way they could be listing it legally, since I’m currently exclusive to Amazon). So I expect orders placed there are actually using Amazon behind the scenes.

I’ll check it out and see if there’s a way to sell through there without involving Amazon. I’m not a fan of Amazon, either.

Cheers!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

It took 5 months, but I was also learning Shavian whilst doing it. It was a fun project, and I think a similar project would take less time now.
