I spent the last 11 months working with my illustrator, Marta, to make the children's book of my dreams. We were able to get every detail just the way I wanted, and I'm very happy with the final result. She is the best person I have ever worked with, and I mean, just look at those colors!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d8b8f06da340b1917253a8598b8c6be1/54c4745c6dd82795-6d/s540x810/d96fb1d5a405a653211b8d8036b50c4d7489f782.jpg)
I wanted to tell that story of anyone's who ever felt that they didn't belong anywhere. Whether you are a nerd, autistic, queer, trans, a furry, or some combination of the above, it makes for a sad and difficult life. This isn't just my story. This is our story.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c8899f91e8453d5221e74cf71cca2e73/54c4745c6dd82795-7d/s540x810/8381567b15f59ce06061bb8f96d809b22a95c54b.jpg)
I also want to say the month following the book's launch has been very stressful. I have never done this kind of book before, and I didn't know how to get the word out about it. I do have a small publishing business and a full-time job, so I figured let's put my some money into advertising this time. Indie writers will tell you great success stories they've had using Facebook ads, so I started a page and boosting my posts.
Within a first few days, I got a lot of likes and shares and even a few people who requested the book and left great reviews for me. There were also people memeing on how the boy turns into a delicious venison steak at the end of the book. It was all in good fun, though. It honestly made made laugh. Things were great, so I made more posts and increased spending.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f1fe510f049e6a2b92ae93c5a98f4059/54c4745c6dd82795-83/s540x810/9bfe443f600a00bd648a15f8814bcbe8bf6b4687.jpg)
But somehow, someway these new posts ended up on the wrong side of the platform. Soon, we saw claims of how the book was perpetuating mental illness, of how this book goes against all of basic biology and logic, and how the lgbtq agenda was corrupting our kids.
This brought out even more people to support the book, so I just let them at it and enjoyed my time reading comments after work. A few days later, then conversation moved from politics to encouraging bullying, accusing others of abusing children, and a competition to who could post the most cruel image. They were just comments, however, and after all, people were still supporting the book.
But then the trolls started organizing. Over night, I got hit with 3 one-star reviews on Amazon. My heart stopped. If your book ever falls below a certain rating, it can be removed, and blocked, and you can receive a strike on your publishing account. All that hard work was about to be deleted, and it was all my fault for posting it in the wrong place.
I panicked, pulled all my posts, and went into hiding, hoping things would die down. I reported the reviews and so did many others, but here's the thing you might have noticed across platforms like Google and Amazon. There are community guidelines that I referenced in my email, but unless people are doing something highly illegal, things are rarely ever taken down on these massive platforms. So those reviews are still there to this day. Once again, it's my fault, and I should have seen it coming.
Luckily, the harassment stopped, and the book is doing better now, at least in the US. The overall rating is still rickety in Europe, Canada, and Australia, so any reviews there help me out quite a lot. I'm currently looking for a new home to post about the book and talk about everything that went into it. I also love to talk about all things books if you ever want to chat. Maybe I'll post a selfie one day, too. Otherwise, the book is still on Amazon, and the full story and illustrations are on YouTube as well if you want to read it for free.

🌙 Moon Phases 🌙
Agatha Harkness X Fem!Reader
Word Count: 1538
Chapter 25:
The teenager opened the package, and while you were busy placing the board on the low coffee table, he grabbed the instruction book.
He started to flip the pages, searching for the instructions on your language. "Uh, Spanish, Chinese...Ah, English." You all focused on him. "Okay... Number one, do not use the Ouija board alone. Number two, do not speak over each other... three! Do not taunt the spirits. "
Everyone looked at Agatha.
"What?" She exclaimed, feeling offended by the common assumption that she would be foolish enough to actually taunt spirits.
Well, it depended on which spirit would be unlucky enough to be chosen for this trial.
"I repeat, do not taunt the spirits. Fourth, do not ask about death. Five, always end your session with goodbye. Six, do not, under any circumstances, remove your hand from the planchette. If you do so, a spirit will be released."
Silence enveloped the group, none sure what to say or when to start. Sure, the clock was ticking but contacting spirits... spirits that can easily escape if they mess it up...
Lilia noticed that there was something written on the back of the book as well. "What does it say on the back?"
Teen flipped it over. "For ages three and up."
"Helpful," you commented, and everyone moved to grab pillows since you had to sit on the floor around the low coffee table.
You dropped a pillow on the space by Agatha's right, but as you went to sit, your lover pulled it even closer to her.
You glanced at her, seeing the faint fear and hesitaton in her blue eyes. She was scared, hesitating, and you did not blame her; considering she was now a powerless woman with a lot of angry dead enemies.
You said nothing as you took your seat, your folded legs brushing against her bare thigh. You placed your leg on her skin beneath the table, offering a comforting squeeze as everyone joined; Rio sitting by youth right left, leaving you trapped between the two witches.
With some hesitation, you all placed your hands on the pendulum.
"Mother, Maiden, Crone," Agatha started, making you glance at her since she voiced the three fates at the wrong order. She ignored you as she continued. "Spirits be known."
Suddenly, the pendulum started to move on it's own; freaking out Alice and Jen in the process, though something was telling you that someone alive was moving it.
"Is someone here with us during this Witching Hour?" Agatha asked as the pendulum was dragged across the board towards one word.
"Yes." Jen read, surprised.
"All right. And who, may I ask, do we have the pleasure of communing with?"
The pendulum moved again, moving from letter to the other; dragging you all with it as everyone did their best not to remove their fingers from it, aware of the warning.
"M, R, S, H, A, R, T." Teen spelt.
Jen gasped. "Mrs. Hart?" She then started to look around and up, feeling worried and still guilty that maybe she was mostly at fault for her death. "Hey, girl, feeling better? How's your face?"
Lilia glared at them. "No taunting."
Suddenly, the pendulum was pulled sharply, and fingers were removed from it, breaking one of the rules.
Seconds later, Agatha started to act odd, spinning her head and ponytail in an overdramatic fashion.
By instinct alone, you moved faintly away just as Agatha stopped; subconsciously pressing your body closer to Rio's. Agatha, then, stood up, a creepy odd smile on her face that was unlike her.
"Oh, my." Agatha started, speaking in a voice that was not hers. This one was rather squeaky. "What a journey." She sighed. "There I was, living my tiny life in the burbs, baking casseroles, linking in to conspiracy theories on Facebook, drinking before noon, and there you were bringing chills and thrills and bringing on my own early demise!"
Jen shallowed hard.
"Listen, Mrs. Hart..." she started, only to be interrupted by Alice.
"She's not Mrs. Hart." She corrected her fellow witch.
"She's Sharon Davis." Teen reminded everyone.
You frowned, seeing right through the act. First, the wrong beginning and now, the human woman spelling a different name on the Ouija board than her actual name.
"I am. I'm Sharon Davis." A 'possessed,' Agatga said.
In the end, you let out a heavy sigh. "She is not Mrs. Davis, she is Agatha. "
To your surprise, Lilia backed you up. "Yeah." She agreed.
"What?" Agatha questioned and faked giggle.
"She's just scared." Rio pointed out, making Agatha lose that creepy smile.
She cleared her throat. "Okay. I thought that was pretty good."
"The clock is ticking." Jen reminded her in her usual not so friendly tone.
Rio tapped Agatha's empty space, silently telling her to sit down and get over it.
In the end, Agatha obeyed and defeated placed her hands on the pendulum along with the others.
"Maiden, Mother, Crone," she started, this time using the correct order. "Spirits be known." Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the ceiling. "Who is here with us tonight?"
The pendulum started to move above the letters, and everyone started to read the letters out loud.
D, E, A, T, H.
"Death." Teen exclaimed as Rio started to laugh like a maniac, earning different looks from the others around her.
You only rolled your eyes at the drama but quickly focused on the board as the spirit awaited its next question.
"What do you want?" Agatha asked, trying to remain calm, but her nerves were slowly getting the best of her.
The pendulum started to move again.
P U, N, I, S, H.
"Who do you wanna punish?"
Everyone started to read the letters out loud. "A, G, A...T, H...A... A, G, A, T, H, A..."
The same name was repeated again and again, each time the pendulum being dragged with even more force, almost making you fall on Alice and her on you as it continued.
Despite the begs, no one could stop it, and in the end; fear won over Agatha... and she pulled back.
"Agatha!" The Witches exclaimed as she had fallen and crawled away from the table, fear evident in her blue eyes.
"Fuck" you exclaimed as you were the first to stand up, the others following suit.
Agatha had pulled her hands back, meaning that whatever spirit was contacting them was now loose and clearly having a vendetta against Agatha.
You looked around in alarm, waiting for anything that might warn you of an incoming attack; though you were not sure what to expect.
You had never participated in any kind of spirit communication ritual or anything related to spirits. Not to mention, you had never fought any spirit or ghost before; thus, you were unsure if there was something you could actually do.
Unless someone knew how to exorcise them and maybe have confidently enough salt with them for any kind of ritual that might offer you the upper hand.
"What do they want?" Alice questioned as the witches gathered close by while Agatha remained on the floor, trying to hide the fact that she looked like a frightened little girl in front of them just a second ago.
Jen placed a hand on her waist. "They already told us. Punish Agatha!"
You immediately glared at her. Your hard stare continued and even went to the rest of the coven as they all started to suggest ways of punishing Agatha physically and emotionally.
Ropes, wounds, humiliations...
You almost snapped and attacked them at their words.
"Are you listening to yourselves?!" You exclaimed, your voice coming out louder than normal and drawing their attention.
"Come on, Y/N. The spirit told us what to do. It's how we pass the trial, " Jen argued.
To their surprise and not, you moved to stand between them and the fallen Agatha. "Fuck the spirit. This is not how we pass the trial"
"It's not like we will hurt her," Alice argued, trying to find the middle ground.
"I still think we should slit her throat," Rio commented, holding her knife, which had been changed into a box cutter to fit with the theme.
"I am still up for the rope and humiliation part," Jen voiced.
"When people ask me why I don't have female friends.." Agatha commented, trying not to show how affected she was by the fact that she was about to be betrayed by a coven, her coven, for a second time.
"No one will be harming Agatha in any way" you put your foot down, your temper flaring faintly and your magic was slowly coming alive in your hands; making the witches to look at you in surprise and slight fear.
Thankfully, there was one more person in the group who did not wish for the punishment to take place... Teen.
"But we were getting along, weren't we? We were clicking. There was unity." He argued.
Jen lifted a finger. "Familiars don't get a vote." She commented, earning a dark look that was unlike him.
Suddenly, the power went out, and the cabin was filled with darkness. It was then that Lilia noticed something.
"Where did she go?" Lilia asked, making everyone realise that Agatha had disappeared into thin air.

So, Tiktok's back. After only about ten hours.
When it went down (several hours ahead of schedule, as if plans had to be moved forward), we got a notice praising trump for trying to help the app, and a video from Tiktok's CEO expressing the same sentiment.
This was already a massive red flag to me. Trump was the one who started the TikTok ban idea in the first place. It was literally a part of his campaign after TikTok was used to prove he was lying about his rally attendance numbers.
Despite this, Tiktok has been given a 90-day extension by the Trump administration. This 90-day extension is contingent on a deal already being in motion to sell Tiktok (in full or in majority shares), to an American company.
The CEOs for both TikTok and Meta are expected to be at Trump's inauguration tomorrow. Facebook also started pushing a "link your meta to Tiktok" option the day before the ban took place, and they now have an official Tiktok page after keeping the two companies as strictly separate competitors for years. It is my belief that this all points to Mark Zuckerberg having bought/merged with TikTok. Something that had likely been planned for a while, with last night's brief and early shut-down being a stunt to upset all of us who've come to rely on TikTok for a variety of reasons.
Whether you're one of the 7 million content creators or small business owners who legitimately earned your living off the app, or simply a part of the 170 million Americans (half the fuckin' country) who became attached to it from healthy community interaction, news dependency, or even a toxic addiction to it's quick and easy dopamine (I am a mix of all of these, personally), the ban going into affect last night likely caused you an amount of stress. Anguish, even, depending on your situation.
But now, as of this morning, Trump is suddenly our savior. After about two years of him pushing his opinion that Tiktok should be banned, now one of the richest men in the country and his company stands to benefit from Tiktok sticking around. And so will Trump, with Zuckerberg's money in his pocket.
I'm glad it's back, truly. I love Tiktok and the people I've met there, the communities fostered and the hard-working Americans who've found success on the platform. However, selling to Meta is NOT good.
Zuckerberg is nothing but an elite POS. He does not care about you, his company and all of his apps have ALWAYS been more predatory with your data than Tiktok EVER was. Meta has collected more of it, sold it to more advertisers and private investors with an interest in the public's free-time habits, and has done nothing if not try to monopolize your presence online.
Tiktok's algorithm may end up changing. It may end up having to bend to Meta's whims. Less personalization, more of your data being sold to advertisment that we might see an increase in. Shadow-bans, community muffling, news censorship and political biases being promoted, etc.
I don't know what I suggest doing about this. Even though it would be the best move, I would be a hypocrite to say "remove all meta associated apps from your phone." I can't delete my Facebook/meta account. Not without dedicating a flashdrive or several to saving pictures, videos and posts as pieces of my life from the past 15 years I have been on this website. I know many others feel the same, there isn't really anywhere else we can go. That is by design.
I know RedNote is where a lot of folks went, and I genuinely think the cultural exchange on that app between American and Chinese citizens is a wonderful thing, but I do not feel right about signing up for an app that is explicitly owned by the Chinese government anymore than I would on an app explicitly owned by our own (which, Meta practically is. They just get to hide behind a thin veil of a "private company". One that can pay to control political decisions. Our government is its own private company, but I digress). Bluesky might be the best alternative, but its Twitter-like format is annoying to me, personally.
TL;DR
I guess all of this is just to say; Don't fall for this shit. It's all extremely fishy and smells like Trump raising his approval rating with young voters, and Zuckerberg extending his reach over the way we all connect with each other and raising his net worth. Please stay as aware as you can.
More than just a "haha funny app", TikTok grew to be the most important way that hundred of millions of Americans connected with each other.
It is how WE THE PEOPLE connect. Potentially losing it to yet another leading company in the oligarchy our country truly is, its a blow to all of us, regardless of what political party you identify with.

Rebranding Yourself Online using ChatGPT
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/61942be611aa3f93985c21dabcc49f38/a024d4d4803b3cd9-70/s540x810/355229e183cbada1a62104b4b6a8a7b9f378d67f.jpg)
Summary from “Brand Aid: Taking control of your reputation before everyone else does” by Larry G Linne and Patrick Sitkins. This book is from the early 2010s so some things are outdated and not exactly applicable. It’s also a more corporate/ business focused book. I took away what i felt were the major lessons and were more applicable to young adults/ teens/ people on social media today (because social media in 2013 vs today is very different).
I also wanted to add my own input to the summary. I’ve added prompts for ChatGPT that you can use to help figure your personal brand out better.
When rebranding yourself online, I would highly recommend:
1. Archive all your personal Instagram account’s posts (if you have an online business, create a separate page and show very little of yourself). Remove all your stories and highlights. Deactivate your account for at least 8 months.
2. Spend the next 8 months building your social media strategy, your personal brand and reinventing yourself in any way and form you want to (mental, physical, spiritual, etc).
3. Use Pinterest and figure out a theme that defines you the best. Take a look at @mafeanzures
————————-
* A brand is what people think of you.
Questions to ask yourself:
1. What do you think other people think of you?
2. What personal attributes would you benefit from the most if those items were well known to everyone?
Question 1 and 2 in the next few prompts refers to these 2 questions.
ChatGPT prompts after you finish writing down the above answers:
“I want to develop my personal brand on instagram (or any one social media site at a time). Currently I’m seen as a (2 of the most negative qualities and 2 of the most positive qualities from question 1). I want to be seen as (4 of the most positive qualities from question 2). What should I do to be seen as that?”
This will give you a STRATEGY that you can further modify.
Now, ask the same question again but with one change:
“I want to develop my personal brand on instagram (or any one social media site at a time). Currently I’m seen as a (2 of the most negative qualities and 2 of the most positive qualities from question 1). I want to be seen as (4 of the most positive qualities from question 2). What should I post online to be seen as that?”
This will give you CONTENT that you should consider posting.
**
* It is very likely that if you are to meet someone new and you’re aware you’re going to meet them, you’ll check their social media out. Whether its LinkedIn, facebook, twitter, instagram… keep your online presence clean.
* Before you post ANYTHING online, ask yourself: “how will this affect my brand?” If you post a story about a nasty break up/ a friendship falling apart/ a negative restaurant review… how do you think other people will see you? Be extremely mindful of your brand and what you post online.
* Rather than the age old advice “just be yourself”, look at “just be your best self.”
**
7 steps to a great brand:
1. Write down what you think people think of you: both positive and negative
2. Determine your goals in life (career, family, etc). What brand items do you need to get there? For example, the brand item “intelligent” to move up the corporate ladder. What will you need in order to be perceived as intelligent?
3. Gap analysis: the difference between point 1 (current situation) and point 2 (desired situation).
4. Develop action items. For example, if you want to be seen as innovative at work, start bringing ideas to meetings.
5. Influences on your brand: your dress, style, voice tone and quality, health, recreation, the car you drive, social environments, where you live, the language you speak, the subjects of your conversations, social media postings all impact your brand.
6. List what you must do to protect your brand. For example: not drinking in public; dressing a certain way; etc.
7. Review every 6 months.
Ask ChatGPT: “I am (ethnicity) (gender), (age) years old based in (City, country). Currently I’m seen as a (2 of the most negative qualities and 2 of the most positive qualities from question 1). My viewers would mostly be people from (conservative/liberal/ rural/ urban/ define audience. In case there are two audience types, ask one at a time) backgrounds. I want to be seen as (4 of the most positive qualities from question 2). What behaviours should I not engage in?”
**
Using the power of “always”: 5 specific things you pride on yourself for doing regularly.
“I always take the time to be updated in my field of work.”
“I always volunteer every Sunday.”
**
Things to keep in mind:
A. Are you easy to find online?
B. Is your content consistent?
C. Do your pictures, videos convey your personal brand?
D. What will enhance your brand?
E. What will damage your brand?
Ask ChatGPT: “I want to develop my personal brand on instagram (or any one social media site at a time). Currently I’m seen as a (2 of the most negative qualities and 2 of the most positive qualities from question 1). I want to be seen as (4 of the most positive qualities from question 2). What can potentially damage my brand if I’m not careful?”
**
If you are willing to see what you are doing and saying on the front page of a newspaper tomorrow, proceed with it. If you wouldn’t want it on the front page of the newspaper, STOP immediately.
**
More things to keep in mind:
1. The internet amplifies everything
2. Context matters
3. Consistency is everything
4. Your “at home” brand is as important as “outside of home” brand

!! Animal abuse tw !!
hey yall who wants to leave a nasty review on a backyard breeders business who literally (without gloves) pulled breeched puppies out of a screaming 8-9 month old toy poodle while hitting and pinning her down!!
video evidence (VERY hard to watch) about yorkiesinparadise/heavymetalbulldogs:
you can leave a review here:
https://g.co/kgs/Yk4x7m
Additional context under the cut
This is from a review I wrote and had a friend post because mine wouldn't take.
Video evidence of her pulling a breech puppy out of her mother, Bonnie, and hitting her as she screamed and bit back in pain is posted to coyhound on tiktok. Didn't stay long for the pulling portions of the live because her screams were too much to handle, but others report that the rest were pulled out similarly. Mother was incredibly shut down and unresponsive the times I intermittently tabbed back to the live, no interest in puppies, glazed eyes, complete disaster. Could've easily been avoided with an ultrasound, which she claimed to have gotten beforehand. She then retracts this moments later, which was obviously the truth as she had no idea the puppies were breech initially and couldn't tell if there was a third puppy left inside her towards the end of her labor. According to her own Facebook page, Bonnie was only 15 weeks old on December 2nd of 2022, putting her at around 8 months. This is not the behavior of a reputable breeder. This is the behavior of someone that values money more than the welfare of their own animals.
You're encouraged to rb this btw. Tysm for reading

NaNoWriMo Fire
I have been posting comments on NaNoWriMo's Facebook page, to the most recent three posts there (copied and pasted). My latest one has apparently been blocked or something, so I'm going to start sharing here. Please do share this far and wide.
If you don't know what the NaNoWriMo fire is, I have two resources for you:
Reddit Post (took two to post the whole story)
Google Docs summary (being actively updated as things continue to burn)
So below the fold I'm pasting the comments I put on Facebook, in order. Enjoy!
March 5, 20204
It's becoming increasingly obvious that the goal here is to shutter NaNoWriMo as an organization. I wish you guys would just DO IT ALREADY instead of pretending you're trying to do right by the community. That ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS ABOMINATION of a new ML agreement is reprehensible. I hope NOBODY signs it, because it is BLATANTLY trying to put ALL BLAME for anything that goes wrong directly on the ML's. Which is ludicrous. On top of that, if people have concerns about the agreement they are automatically being removed as ML. That's not good faith. It's not transparency. I've been trying to believe the best but obviously that was really silly of me and I apologize for believing that everyone is capable of actually doing better.
March 7, 2024
The Board Update is laughable and reinforces the impression I offered in my previous comment. Basically, nobody on the Board right now was even there when all this stuff happened. NaNoWriMo the organization is not actually listening to the feedback from the community; supposedly there have been focus groups but none of the people I'm in contact with (which is a lot of people who have all been very heavily involved with the organization over the years) ever got an invitation. I am just one person, and I am aware that I am not owed anything. However, this entire thing continues to be mismanaged, and I do not for one second believe that the organization is heading in the right direction.
Again, I suggest you just shut things down completely like you're obviously planning. All the noises about trying to do the right thing, followed by this alarming lack of actually doing the right thing and incredibly tone-deaf approach, are not helping the situation. Support for the organization is dwindling, and I am not surprised. That's what happens when you ignore and/or woefully mismanage your response to concerns.
March 9, 2024
Well, I'm back for another round of "I thought I told you not to do this kind of thing." Again, I know I'm just a person and nobody has to listen to me, but I know plenty of people who agree with me.
First, regarding the FAQ for MLs, there are contradictions and missing words. I try not to criticize that sort of thing too much (in spite of being a trained proofreader) but this is supposed to be a writing organization, and you people at HQ are supposed to be writers. Do better.
Second, it has come to my attention that both the Terms & Conditions and the Codes of Conduct have been updated with no notification. That is ridiculous and unethical, not to mention poor business practice. Literally every organization I am connected to sends an e-mail to let me know when there are changes upcoming, and often those changes are outlined so I know what to expect. And then I have the option to leave if I don't agree with those changes.
If you did send a notification e-mail prior to these changes being implemented, well, hey, we already knew the e-mail system was borked so whatever. But it looks like literally NOBODY got a notification of the upcoming changes, which indicates that there was no attempt to follow best practices.
It is clear to me, and to many other people in the community, that nobody at HQ actually knows how to manage a non-profit. I'm also pretty sure you don't understand ethics or best practices. You're trying to get ahead of bad things that ALREADY HAPPENED, and if you're actually consulting a lawyer about all of these things before you do them, they are giving you horrible advice. You also needed a PR team back in like November (maybe even October).
There's a weird attitude that I've seen all over the place, that people who are being vocal about this disaster are being mean or trying to destroy NaNoWriMo or something like that. I want to be crystal clear here: People who are being vocal are speaking up on behalf of people who needed a voice. People were being abused and others decided to help them get out of that situation. When the expected solution (reporting to HQ) did not result in appropriate actions, they moved to make the situation public. (That's when I found out and got involved.)
When we were discussing problems and asking questions on the forums in November, we were trying to be productive. We were looking for answers, making suggestions, explaining what was wrong (because as we talked we learned that there was far more than just the Mod X situation that was wrong), offering our assistance... and we got shut down.
Now I'm also hearing that there has been a focus group. Who was in that focus group? How did you get the participants? Nobody I know was contacted to be on that focus group. Are you actually LISTENING to the participants? Are the people you're recruiting all folks who've made it clear they're mad at those of us who are using our voices to call out abuses of power, poor organization and business practices, and unethical behaviour? I don't care if I'm not approached to be a part of a focus group, but making sure you involve an assortment of viewpoints would be beneficial.
I am just incredibly disappointed in how everything has gone and is going. The yacht has sailed. It's time to accept that and move on.
March 12, 2024 (the one that isn't showing up)
Every time I turn around, it seems, there's something new to facepalm over. It is becoming increasingly clear that HQ is on the defensive. You need someone on staff, like, six months ago, who is actually capable of professional communication. Right now, we're receiving passive-aggressive whinges about how many e-mails there are and how you're giving up vacations in order to reply to them. At least some of the foolish "answers" on the FAQ (which again, why is that on Zendesk? That makes no sense.) have been removed. The thing is, nevermind Pepperidge Farm, the Internet remembers. EVERYTHING.
It is not professional to tell your subordinates (whether staff or volunteers) that you're giving up personal time in order to deal with a mess that is your responsibility to deal with. It is not professional to complain about having to do a job you agreed to take on.
It is not ethical to try and get anti-union verbage into an agreement for volunteers. It is not ethical to try and get volunteers to take on all liability for events they organize on your behalf.
It is incredibly rude to treat adults as if they are misbehaving children. Especially not when they are bringing you legitimate concerns and criticisms about how your organization is handling a serious situation.
And yes, a lot of this one is specifically about Kilby, because WTF? How have you been on multiple boards and not learned how to do all of this stuff properly? You were absolutely NOT the right person for the job, and it's laughable that you think you were.

April 2, 2024 update from the Battleship Texas Foundation
"Yeehaw everyone!

Battleship Texas back in the water at Gulf Copper Shipyard.
We apologize for the short break we took on getting an update out. Battleship Texas Foundation staff have been adjusting to life with the ship back in the water, taking some time off, and attending events across Texas.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a89153b93d88088244d07b075c0f84cd/2923ae77d1740f89-84/s540x810/86ad4688bd640eebdf560e05f27ac3eff726c9ab.webp)
Looking at the ship's foremast.
While it may not look like much work is going on at the ship, we have kept Gulf Copper busy! See our latest update.
It has been just about one month since #battleshiptexas returned to the water. The ship is currently moored at Pier D in Gulf Copper Shipyard, where it will continue to undergo repairs and preparations to become a museum ship once again!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1df4ea59b7c25b5a9bbee32e6a615717/2923ae77d1740f89-bd/s540x810/deb6a2fd9f6c2f1444350d79bb26280ae1e7c466.webp)
Workers have removed remnants from older museum fixtures that are no longer needed. This is another big step forward in returning the ship to its 1945 appearance.
DECK DRAINAGE REPAIR
We are continuing to repair the ship's upper decks drains and systems to ensure they do not collect water and eliminate standing water. This is being done to the ship's superstructure, aft fire control tower, main mast, and on the decks below.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/86604628edd2a31d7803cafed66b542e/2923ae77d1740f89-a9/s540x810/f83683da4018e2297cf86dc3d2f5867742895e48.webp)
New drain pipes have been added to the ship's superstructure. This will help eliminate standing water on the ship's upper decks.
AFT FIRE CONTROL RESTORATION
The ship's aft fire control tower is looking great! The mullions for the windows are fitted, floater net baskets added, and more. These repairs and additions will help return the ship to its 1945 appearance.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0e433e12a205bb39ee890776429bfb5b/2923ae77d1740f89-43/s540x810/21edf4a8f7768a98722056eb973f105c8c83e87a.webp)

Note the floater net baskets that have been added.
RADAR TOP MAST
The radar top mast has been removed from the ship's main mast and will receive structural repairs before being placed back on the ship.

Old and rotten steel deck has been removed while newer steel will replace it.
CAPTAIN'S CABIN MAP

While browsing for information on a particular Barbie, I was surprised to see Google recommend appending the word "controversy" to my search. The Barbie in question?
Breathe With Me Barbie. Breathe With Me Barbie is part of a range of self-care and wellness Barbies and depicts Barbie in a sukhasana pose, promising "5 guided meditations".
Unsure of where the controversy around this could be going, I clicked through. This seemed to be the root of it.
"Each pose is designed to invoke a Hindu deity in the spirit realm. I have seen children get possessed by demons. ... Satan is after the children. He wants to use them and indoctrinate them for his glory. Then, when he is done, he will destroy them. As your kids grow, they will get rebellious, depressed, and many will be suicidal. You won't understand what's happening as a parent. You must remove all toys and clean your children's room of all demonic attachments."
Various websites from Business Insider to The Christian Post to Newsweek cite Christian influencer (or, in the words of Business Insider, micro-influencer) Yasmeen Suri as being the origin of the claim that this doll is an agent of Satanism.
This would not be the first person to associate yoga with Satanism or possession - exorcist Gabriele Amorth also associated the practice of yoga with increased chance of demonic possession.
I can't find a screenshot of this, though, and all links back to the Facebook post are dead. What I did find though is a Patheos satire article dated shortly before the rest of these articles citing "Jasmine Blades" from Christians Against Eastern Religions as the source of the same quote.
Neither Christians Against Eastern Religions or Jasmine Blades are real, of course, hence their inclusion in a clearly marked satire piece. But I don't know where this leaves real Christian influencer Yasmeen Suri and her alleged (re)posting of the same quote picking up steam a week later. I don't know whether she saw the satire post and reposted the quote, to take it down later once she realised, or whether these articles quoting her as the source are misattributions. I'm leaning to the former, but I'm not actually sure.
There's a Truth or Fiction page debunking this, but what it is debunking is a) whether Breathe With Me Barbie depicts the practice of yoga (it depicts meditation, not yoga), b) whether this was a new doll in 2022 (it was not, it was released in 2020), c) whether yoga is synonymous with Hinduism and d) whether Catholicism or Christianity more generally prohibit or warn against the practice of yoga as a matter of doctrine.
For the record, by the way, there are Barbies that are explicitly depicted as practicing yoga, such as I Can Be... Yoga Teacher Barbie.
Or that appear to depict the practice of yoga on the box art, such as the Made to Move series.
Or dolls such as this Fitness Barbie who is depicted with various fitness equipment such as weights and a hula hoop, as well as a yoga mat.

Plus One
Inspired by @justrainandcoffee Wandering Jew series.
Aka an excuse to write rolfie and teva in the same universe
Gif by @crackshipandcrap
(2019)
“Who won’t text you back?” Eva asked noticing the rather forlorn way he looks at the message.
She knows he’d been seeing someone, and yet while he knows about her disastrous sex life, Eva doesn’t know jack shit about his beyond Grace the Barmaid, Lizzie and several other women Eva may or may not have also fucked.
“None of your business, Smith.” Tommy glared and she pouted.
It had been a bad idea to ask her out again, the drinks had been fine and she thought him a gentleman when he didn’t take her up on her suggestion of staying over at her place.
“I told you about my ex marrying my cousin and my ex who fucked all my friends, c’mon, Tommy tell me who’s the broad who’s place I need to trash.” The brunette reminds him.
They were friends now.
Eva was enjoying being single after her ex decided Franco was who she loved and Tommy had been in a relationship with someone whom he had hardly ever mentioned.
“Not a she, and no, you’re not committing a felony for me, Evie, but thanks anyway.” He said with annoyance and shoved his phone into his pocket.
“Ah so we’re more similar than I thought. So your guy broke up with you, then?” the witchy young woman guessed correctly going by the stony look he gets as he orders another drink.
“Yes, and before you ask. It was me not him.” The dark haired man loathed speaking about things like these and yet he willingly shared this with her, progress. “Won’t forgive me and I know you’d agree with him.”
“You got me there. If it makes you feel better, I’ve been there before. At least your ex is still alive to hate you.” Eva regrets her words the moment she said them.
She never told anyone about Leopoldo, nor how him learning about her and Antonia seeing each other behind his back led to the car accident that killed him.
She’d been displayed as his grieving girlfriend. Given flowers, comforted along with his family and crushed by the guilt of knowing she hadn’t truly loved him.
“Lucky me.” He grumbled bitterly and raised his whiskey in a toast. “Here’s to our shit luck, Evie.”
It is spring 2020 when Tommy and Eva elope to Cancun and welcome the pandemic as the newly elected representative of the Birmingham Hall Green.
Their exes remain unnamed and neither Shelby aware of how little the world is.
Its 2023 when two identical invitations arrived addressed to the both of them.
“I didn’t know you knew Alfie as well.” Eva mentions as he played with little Gabriel on the rug.
The look on his face says it all.
Alfie was the guy who dumped him for being a cheating asshole.
Same Alfie who was Aunt Florence’s baby brother.
There had been no malicious intent.
This is what Rose tells herself when Alfie learns she hadn’t removed Tommy Shelby from the guest list.
She had met him in passing once, when she found more than just a nice holiday at the Wandering Jew.
Then she came to know Tommy had been the heartless bastard who’d broken Alfie’s heart. Having disliked him from the start, knowing how awful he was had made her hate him.
Now she was seeing him in the profile picture of Alfie’s ‘niece’ Eva Smith-Riley who had sent her congratulations through Instagram.
Rose had met through zoom calls and FaceTime and once in person when Eva came to give them her good news.
‘Is it okay if I bring my plus one?’
It was then Rose had seen who the man she was married to was.
Then the bride to be did what everyone has done since the invention of social media has done.
She looked at every single photo of him in Eva’s profile, Facebook page, twitter and some tabloids that sprung up under her name.
They’d met at Birmingham U, they dated for approximately five months, married on the first of March in a lovely beach in Mexico and had a baby named Gabriel.
“Are you jealous of Evie, sweetheart?” Alfie Asks seeing the picture of Eva hanging out with some celebrity at a charity thing.
“No. It’s not that. Why didn’t you tell me Tommy’s her husband?” she shows him the next picture, Tommy Shelby smiling through the pain holding his one-year-old son next to Eva.
After the way he fucked things up with Alfie, Tommy resolved himself to be a better man.
“Because I didn’t know about it until she married the fucker and then I didn’t want to ruin things for her. He’s changed, or so it seems.” the burly man admitted knowing the hell that was going to be unleashed.
“For a man in love he looks like he’s in agony.” Rose points out thinking the worst of Thomas Shelby.
“That’s just his face, love, he can’t help it.”
And he had, not once has he strayed and while that took much work on his account, it had rewarded him with a woman he loves and a family he hadn’t thought he could have.
He should’ve told her about his past with Alfie, but he was afraid, not sure of what, but he was afraid.
Eva wouldn’t have judged him about it, not after she told him about Leopoldo, but Alfie was her friend.
And yet here they lay beside each other as the baby slept curled up between them.
“You should’ve told me, Tom.” She’s not angry, there is a hint of disappointment about her, but nothing has changed as he feared he would. “We don’t have to go, if you don’t want to.”
“He’s your friend, sort of relative too. I don’t want you to miss it on account of me.” He could invent an excuse to stay, claim Gabe is too little for a sitter.
“Alfie is your friend too, we’ll hire a sitter for Gabe and you will come with me. I already told Alfie I’d be bringing you anyways.” She points out reaching to caress his face, a contrast to his words.
December rolls around, and Tommy finds himself fixing the black satin bowtie that matches Eva’s black evening gown exactly.
“Are you ready?” she asks softly, knowing how big of a step this is for him.
“Yeah, ready as I’ll ever be, Mrs. Shelby.”

Posting this on the first working day of February.
I like to think of January as the honeymoon period that allows us to shake off the holiday rust, so to speak, and that February is when we really buckle down to serious business.
Expectation for the month: for our money problem to be a thing of the past.
Haven't seen the men's Royal Rumble yet (I only got as far as the Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens match last night), but I already know who won thanks to Facebook. I thought I got rid of the spoiler problem by removing all wrestling and wrestling-related pages from my wall. Turns out I failed to consider the personalities I follow who are also big WWE fans, and who tend to get overexcited at times.
Will still watch the Rumble, though. Just to have a fitting nightcap after the heavy feelings that usually come with Mondays.

Hi, do you know any Jewish gen x and millennials? Because I just, wondering how their dealing with the left handling of the Palestine-Israel conflict. Because I would go “Is this the hatred my elders was warning me about?”
How can one cope, after dealing with the generational trauma of a event that created the term genocide only for people that supposedly said “never again” to go and speak the same way the Nazis spoke about your people.
I forget how to pronounce this one, it'll sum up the response you'd get from most of the community though I think.
______________
Gen-X and older millennials in my observation have been bracing for this for a while now, I don't have any Jewish friends I regularly chat with at the moment most are way too busy but I try to keep an eye on as many people as I can and let them know I'm available if they need something, anything I can do at all.
One of the ones I see the most was already a cynical bastard who loves a fight so he's looking to have a good time shitting on people for being ignorant. ___________
Posted this yesterday, probably going to be a fairly common sentiment that folks are getting, but it's been building for a while even if others that don't pay attention haven't seen it.
Remember the dyke march?
But hey at least the exclude the people that will brutally kill you for being gay right?
Same happened at the women's march too, they had to get rid of most of the leadership because they had too much in common with nazis.
oh and
One marcher defended the flags in a post on the Chicago Dyke March Facebook page. “The flags that ‘triggered’ people were NOT a flag of the modern state of Israel, they are PRIDE flags adorned with the star of David. The star of David is, first and foremost, a Jewish symbol, long before the modern state of Israel was even a thought. It’s been a symbol of the Jewish people for centuries, and those marching put it on their flags to represent their intersectionality as LGTBQ+ JEWS. They were not using the dyke march to show support of Israel. They were not making a political statement regarding it. They were simply displaying who they are and that their religious faith is part of their identity. Removing those flags, and the people who marched with it, shows a deep level of ignorance, and yes, it also shows antisemitism masquerading as liberal values,” the post said.
Then as if that wasn't bad enough (you can only be a good gay if you're willing to hide the fact that you're Jewish I guess)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ccf4347e4a2e50d9e51b3ee0c49385d1/918f70549c64e2a3-6f/s540x810/e54fe887345ce366586091a63b9cf34f4488c521.jpg)
We've also got the current betrayal, or mask off moment at least.
_______________________
This all isn't just to try and change anyone's minds about Israel or palestine mind you, since all of this is pretty well known it's not likely to do that anyhow, so no real point in trying anymore.
But like I've said many have had a chance to brace for this, to some extent, given the lead up to it and the whole thing with the last little warlett a couple years back.
This all ends the Jewish community is not likely to put up with folks wanting them to go back to being Schrödinger's POC, to be used as a cudgel when someone puts a horn in a video game, I think the phrase "The Jews are Tired" will be replaced with 'The Jews Are Done With Your Shit' or something like that.
Gonna take a bit for some of the younger ones to shake off the feelings of betrayal from communities that claimed to be accepting of them, and then added conditions that nobody else had. ______________________
I know I have a bunch of Jewish followers here, I would love to get a personal perspective from you if you have something you'd like to add.
Regardless of all the hatemail and threats I've gotten over the years I will continue to keep my inbox available for anonymous asks if you want to go that way too.
Sorry this took so long, deleted and redid it several times, still not totally happy with it but oh well at this point. lol

A Message From the Lay Minister
I apologize for the length of this post. To summarize, I am going to ask our Council to authorize removal of the UUFB Facebook page based on recent changes to Facebook/Meta policy regarding members of the LGBTIQ+ community. A more detailed explanation follows.
Meta has changed their online conduct policy for their products (Facebook, Meta, and Whatsapp), and the new policy was posted today. The request I am making has to do specifically with the policy contained in this section:
Please refer to Tier 2, the section on Insults. The policy states: "Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”" (Bold added) The Principles that we as a UU Congregation still hold to in our religious community begin with the following statement: "We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person." It is my belief that the new policy from Meta creates a situation where our continued presence on Facebook will be seen as a tacit support for a policy that directly contradicts one of the fundamental principles of our faith.
As the individual who setup the page and has been managing it for several years I realize that it has likely been our most successful outreach tool. It allows us to reach well beyond the physical boundaries of Burlington and Southeast Iowa to connect with members who live a distance from us in places like California, Colorado, and Ireland. I also realize that removing ourselves from Facebook will make it somewhat more difficult to keep our connections with these members going forward. To the notion that our leaving Facebook is merely "virtue signalling" and will have no impact on the new policy I offer this response. This is not about sending a message to Meta, Facebook, or any of the groups who may or may not see this post. This is about the message we send to our membership, especially members in the groups who are targeted most by this policy. I believe that in the coming months, possibly years, we will see a very difficult time for our LGBTIQ+ members and friends. We will need to stand with them and offer them a safe harbor from what could well become a dangerous environment for some of them. By stepping away from Facebook at this time we send our friends a very strong message of support, even if that support has a cost attached to it. I could go on, but hopefully you have a sense of what I feel is at stake here. I will be presenting this request to our Council at the next business meeting on January 26. If you have input concerning this that you feel is relevant I would encourage you to share it via e-mail or social media message, or even as a comment here. I will make sure all responses are passed on to the Council members so they have a full picture of the will of the congregation.

Why....????????
Why can't people be happy for other people's ships?
I'm a Johnlocker with all my heart but I also run a Facebook page where I allow all ships and absolutely every time I need to remove a member , which is luckily not a regular occurrence it is about badmouthing other fan's ships.
Is it so difficult to mind your own business and tolerate other peoples happiness?
I love Sherlock and John and others love Sherlock and Molly or Irene.
I couldn't care less and I'm happy they have found their ship.
A member of my group is a writer of Mystrate fiction.
I love her, she is great but I can't stand Mycroft so I never read her stories.
But other fans love Myc and his beautiful Greg so what right do I have to spoil their fun?????
I can't stand posts where Non shippers trash about my ship and the love I have for Sherlock and his John.
My world. My love. My happiness.
Just stay out of it.
