gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

Thank you for tagging me! This video’s a good illustration of several techniques I summed up in my post on how to mend holes in knit fabric.

How Michael Carpenter and Harry Dresden met

I noticed in one of the books, can't remember which one atm, Harry brings up Michael and Murphy responds, "Charity's husband?" and honestly that says so much in so little. You'd assume that she knows about Michael through Harry, but she doesn't. She knows him through Charity.

In my most recent reread, I caught it when Butters said that Charity does Jiujitsu, and it clicked together. That's likely how Murphy knows her. Sure, Murphy does Akido, but they they probably move in the same circles. And that's a perfect opportunity for Harry and Michael to meet.

I imagine it happened at some kind of tournament. Harry showed up to support Murphy, to try to mend broken fences post-Fool Moon. Michael was there to support his wife, of course. Then the divine intuition told him that Harry was important and he should meet his gaze, and the rest is history.

If someone was to make a short story about it, there would probably be a supernatural competitor using their abilities to cheat and Michael and Harry would have to stop them before someone gets seriously injured.

How do Proteans get along with Azata. Proteans really hate lawful beings, and Demon and Qillpoth. But nothing about Azata

------

According to Concordance of Rivals, the Azata and Protean get along in matters of creation, with the Lillend being called out specifically as welcomed in their choruses. However, in matters of destruction, they frequently clash, and their love of freedom goes above and beyond the Azata's own due to it encompassing things like "freedom from shape" and "freedom from morals."

All Seeing Axolotl

Remember when I said I wouldn't draw anymore blursed axolotls? I lied.

Part of my blursed axolotl series, because I guess it's a series now...

Y'all if you're American please email your politicians and senators against the parents decide act. I'm fucking begging because we're reaching a tipping point.

Quick and easy link to both find your congressmen/women and giving you a quick and easy way to copy / paste the message into it. You want to oppose. It's an act that will demand that all major OS makers integrate a direct forced age verification control into all OS.

I received a comment on this that I figured would be very helpful- it's a template for communicating with your representatives. Be sure to use it for reference

Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your Zip Code]

This is a hell that us down under in Australia are already living in, and it’s not even effective at what it claims to do in protecting children.

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

I wish you all luck in preventing this act from going through.

God the blood red dogs have me in an absolute chokehold. Genuinely the best characters in both the New Albion tetralogy and the Fairypunk albums.

These fuckers

-were actively getting ready for a sneak attack and loudly singing

-Claim their backup and opponents are coming to them specifically because they're sexy

-are possibly robots of some kind???

-Lose to the Voodoopunks because they literally never considered that the music playing into their helmets would stop if they took off their helmets.

-As soon as the evil NARH government was replaced by politically powerful Voodoopunks, they joined up with them so loyally that they literally followed them into hell

-Taught Voodoopunks to fight so well they survived 20 years fighting Eldritch monsters in hell

-Waited to sing their extremely sick motif until Rachael specifically asked about them

-Imply the Angels hunted them because they quote "couldn't resist the blood red dogs sweet blood red kiss"

-Brought enough guns into Elysium (which they had presumably expected to be heaven) that they armed every single surviving Voodoopunk

-Left hell and immediately rejoined the current government and became evil again INSTANTLY

-stopped being evil just long enough to fight another group of dog-themed soldiers and got a heavy metal remix of their theme

-are the only characters to get their own merch and official logo

-are canonically hot???

-are exclusively led by men with the hottest singing voices ever

-are NOT a special forces unit or remotely tactful, they're just really good at killing people and causing havoc

-have a sick ass name

-Give the Mayor the opportunity to drop the phrase "unleash the dogs" when ordering them to commit a mass murder.

-Call THEMSELVES a sideshow.

Did I mention that they are canonically hot???

Edit: how could I forget that they not only did their little chorus, but their chorus, and entire bonus verse, and their chorus again rather than helping Rachael escape the horrific Eldritch monstrosities they just had an alarm about
