You kind of watch the river roll by and you think you know, there are two ways to do this. Let the river take me away.. or stand firm and let it go around me until the flood is over. Yeah, it will change the landscape I exist in, after, but at least I'll still be on the path I've chosen for myself.

Yeah, but no. They were never considered as slop. Wikipedia was considered too potentially unreliable for academic work. The bluesky dev team are so painfully AI-pilled, it's embarrassing even from a distance.

So you know how Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and was set in 1963?
The equivalent today would be a film set in 2002.

Brains are funny things. When I have a bad writing day I often manage to keep going by writing myself a margin note to the effect of "This is terrible and boring and you'll have to delete it later" and then I come back days later and read the section and I'm like, "This is fine? Maybe even good?"

$1400 later we're home from the e-vet. Hex gives it 0/10 stars, does not recommend, would have DNF'd if allowed.
Doesn't care that she was diagnosed with a bladder infection and early kidney disease, this is an outrage. Does not regret making them sedate her for the blood draw, would do it again.

Trying to buy a new rain sheet for the pony this season. The one I bought last year leaked immediately and I came out to find Chey shivering, so now I'm paranoid. Literally EVERY sheet I look at, the reviews are "Quality used to be great but now they suck, not waterproof at all."

Captain Planet, FernGully, and that goddamn PSA about cutting the plastic on soda rings RAISED me.
I grew up where, at the end of my cartoons, there was a PSA about being kind or helping people or caring.
Empathy was baked in, but also highly encouraged.

Shake your ass and solve some crimes: get ready for a bonkers Private Investigator story, filled with cocktails, chips, and an ex that is nothing but trouble on legs.
I replaced all of the sexism you'd expect of this genre with poutine.

The print anniversary edition is still coming but there's no preorder--it'll go up when there's a final file later this month. Patrons have already seen most of the illustrations and a few extras will be coming to the various tiers later in the month (the actual publication anniversary is the 20th).
