The thing that may yet make Jon Ossoff President but will at least always delight me, is that he plays off his Jimmy Olson Nice Boy good looks when he references the gross sex shit that most respectable politicians feel like you absolutely cannot say outloud. Like having a fresh-faced baby Atticus Finch in shirt-sleeves look you right in the eye and tell you that the President is fucking his nurse.

This one goes out especially to my fellow Midwesterners:

The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund, which pays immigrant bond fees to get people out of ICE Custody, has run so low on funds they've had to put a hold on their work. They have a donor matching funds through $50,000 or until August 21st, so please consider throwing a few bucks their way and telling your networks.

This has been sitting in my camera roll for months but shout out to the Coronado Historic Site restrooms for answering the legit “where did people poop?” question in the exact context in which it occurs to a person.

On the topic of goats, and also on of topic of formerly center left people getting twitter brain rot and believing in “Islamo-leftism”: I am reminded of our commune’s 6/6/06 party which got spread around for a while as having been a satanic animal sacrifice led by queerphobes who either recruited conservative Muslim men to help oppress queers OR tricked innocent Muslims into participating in a satanic ritual. The source of the rumor was this one lady who ended up so seriously behind on her $75 month rent that people were slightly snippy to her at house meetings and also we had like 3 stank-ass adult male goats and absolutely no one offered a better option than taking them down the street to the halal slaughterhouse and having a 666 themed goat bbq, the smart decision made by one of the people who was most snippy and who did, several years later and for unrelated reasons, end up convicted of federal terrorism charges.

Finally someone said it!

Not to be “the media isn’t talking about this” on the topic of the wretched bog of eternal stench that is every adult male goat, but I do feel like this is an under discussed aspect of goat farming because it’s not the number 1 thing people mention about raising goats. It’s been almost 20 years since I last touched a male goat and the smell still haunts my nightmares. Sometimes I will walk into an old farm building and just the tiniest whiff of male goat will drift through the air and my hackles will go up.

Female goats are beasts that do not know their worth! Why do you like this?

It’s amazing how often current events, even when only loosely related, remind me of what a dumb, morally bankrupt piece of shit Peter Bogdonavich is.

Today, I was reminded of his feud with Hugh Hefner during which he threatened to reveal Hugh Hefner’s extremely real sexual crimes and then reneged when Hefner politely pointed out that Bogdonavich’s current ‘girlfriend’ was 14 years old.

The (actual) Doctrine and Teachings of Mark Hoffman are that while it’s true that anyone can theoretically be a victim of a scam, the most effective scam artists are most effective when targeting corrupt institutions with lots of money to invest in covering up their corruption. The more corrupt the institution the more attractive a target it makes.

One thing I really appreciate in science fiction is when characters are wrong about their own social customs and especially when they are wrong about gender. For example, in both the Lilith’s Brood books and the Murderbot books, we encounter a character who uses ‘it’ pronouns and insists that it does not fit in with human gender but that character is objectively a man even if the nature of his manhood has no connection to human biology. So Murderbot feels emasculated when it is given a penis because only girl robots have penises but it is super clear that those clear category of bot exists and Murderbot is a description of the masculine kind. In the Liliths Brood books humans keep insisting it’s gay for men to have sex with ooloi and the ooloi keep trying to “explain” that in their special non-human gender structure the ooloi is not your “husband” just because it has full legal, social and even medical coveture over its partners and they take its name and identity. This is the good sci fi shit that understands what is/isn’t fake about gender!

I see so many people saying shit like "the way fandoms behave makes me really nervous to write the story I want to write, what if my fandom sucks" and I just want to sit down with all of them and be like it's ok, you don't have to worry, you're not going to be famous

Charity and Sylvia: the extraordinary claims of Rachel Hope Cleves

In early July, a dispute began between two writers; Rachel Hope Cleves, author of Charity and Sylvia; A Same-Sex Marriage in Early America,

An absolutely wild ride with a final twist that objectively doesn’t matter but will make you do a serious double take.

I’ve never actually seen Eli Savit jn person so I was not aware that he was a freakishly massive dude. I have seen Garlin Gilcrest n person and every time I’ve thought I was seeing a person wearing stilts. Anyway, I think this is the physically largest statewide candidate slate ever and we could consider replacing the election with a full contact rugby match. Jocelyn Benson is only normal sized but I bet she could bring the viciousness of average sized women who join rugby teams. I believe that she would bite John James. You know you want to see this.

[larkandkatydid]

Many people are saying…

This is also an excuse to update that, when I made this post originally I was not aware that Jocelyn Benson went to Wellesley. I have nothing but respect for the alumni of the Seven Sisters and part of that is genuine fear of what they are capable of in any kind of full contact sport. A 5’ 7” Wellesley Alumna is absolutely going to bite. That’s why Wellesley grads are exceptionally qualified for public office.

I have also learned from the British that Abdul El-Sayed “earned a Blue” at Oxford which is some kind of inexplicable British jock achievement possibly related to Eton Wall Ball.

I thought you guys were talking about a new Robert Pattinson Robert Hanson movie and I thought it was a little disrespectful to Chris Cooper but I was excited to see Pattinson take on the whole Opus Dei cuck porn thing. Alas.
