If forcing the state onto a woman's body isn't tyranny, then tyranny doesn't exist.

There’s a growing list of things we’ve known and forgotten, things they’ve pushed us to forget. Things like freedom.

Released in 1975, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was an animated television special directed by legendary animator Chuck Jones and based on the classic story by Rudyard Kipling. The story follows a brave mongoose who takes on two deadly cobras to protect the family that rescued him. For a generation of kids, it was one of those rare animated films that felt genuinely intense. The stakes were real, the villains were terrifying, and you couldn't help but root for Rikki-Tikki every step of the way. More than 50 years later, it's still remembered as one of the finest animated adaptations ever put on television. Did you watch Rikki-Tikki-Tavi growing up?

“You can’t solve problems with violence” *opens history book. Well well well

Generative AI is just a giant billboard that says “I didn’t care about making the thing, but I still expect you to engage with it. I bet you can’t even tell, you idiot. Fuck you.” I’ve never felt more deeply committed to making handmade things than I do now. ✏️

Important reminder

Everything on the internet will require an ID check soon. And the government will monitor everything you do, pretending they don't need a warrant because you "voluntarily" gave your data and identity information away.

ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS TO LEARN WHEN DEALING WITH A NARCISSIST IS THAT SO MANY THINGS ARE POINTLESS.

“If justice truly existed, prisons would be filled with politicians, not the poor.” - Niccolo Machiavelli

Narcissists are often far more concerned about being called out for their behaviour than they are about the damage that behaviour caused in the first place.

Victims of narcissistic abuse tend to heavily isolate afterward and holy fuckin shi it makes sense, you can't blame them.

Nerd Deep Housecleaning Update: Way back in the 90s, hard drive storage was expensive. CDs couldn't be rewritten. Floppy disks were TINY. It was a real problem. Then geniuses invented the Zip Drive. Like a floppy disk, but it could fit a magesterial 100 MB. Everyone adapted to them instantly. We stored everything on them. A perfect system. Except that, occasionally, your zip drive would make a small 'click' noise and the disk would be completely ruined. Anyhoo, hard drive space became cheaper and the zip disk was obsoleted. We still had a ton of them. We use them as drink coasters now. I have a latte on one (containing an ancient backup of the original Nethergate code) as I type this.

I hope y'all are finding some joy this weekend. Some laughter sprinkled in too. Be kind to yourselves and whatnot. I love you.

“The eyes of the world are upon you... We will accept nothing less than full victory.” On June 6, 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered those words ahead of the Allied invasion of Normandy — a mission carried out at tremendous cost. 82 years after D-Day, we pause to honor the brave American and Allied service members who faced impossible odds and helped secure freedom for generations to come. In 2019, President Donald J. Trump paid tribute to their sacrifice at ABMC's Normandy American Cemetery: “They were the citizens of free and independent nations, united by their duty to their compatriots and to millions yet unborn. May God bless our great veterans. May God bless our Allies. And may God bless America.”

A beautiful hello with a heartbreaking goodbye.

Narcissistic abuse damages the brain the same way repeated concussions do. It’s cumulative. It’s progressive. And it requires specific treatment to heal.
