juleshToday I learned that the Alien franchise is owned by Disney, which means that every xenomorph egg that hatches, being a daughter of the xenomorph queen, is technically a Disney princess

Dr. Maddkap, WerepsychologistMy favorite Ren Faire story:
I knew a guy who kept a Starfleet insignia pinned to the inside of his garb. A few times per season, some folks would come to the Faire cosplaying as a Star Trek landing party, investigating a “primitive” world.
He would take them aside, show his insignia, and identify himself as a Starfleet officer on a cultural research mission. He’d call them out for breaking the Prime Directive and ruining his research. Then he’d demand to know what ship they’re from, and threaten to get them court martialed if they didn’t change into something less conspicuous.
Plague PoemsWe are told
that we should look
with fear and suspicion
at those who still insist
on wearing masks
for in our society
there is nothing more
suspicious and frightening
than a person
who cares about others.

I think using dark mode on my computer prevents my headaches. Is this a sign of old age lol
Daryl the AdminThere seems to be a lot of confusion about why there are so many fewer workers now than in '19.
Let me explain.
- A new sickness emerged.
- We ignored it for a while.
- We took it seriously for approximately 2 seconds.
- We let it rip.
- Lots of people died and are still dying.
- Lots more people became or are becoming disabled to mild or severe degrees, with no prognosis of recovery.
- We aren't sure what else will happen to the infected.
That's what happened and is still happening.
G. Willow WilsonYour support helps me "buy time" to work on books I own, rather than books owned by large media conglomerates! Many, many thanks.

Qasim Rashid, Esq.I love closing out the year with this. 😊
On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.
How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️
Happy New Year, ya'll!
