Trump can say he'll distance himself from Project 2025 as much as he wants, but in his last term he appointed every faithful FedSoc judge he could get his hands on, and that's basically the entire game.

Just a reminder that my worldbuilding consultation on RtV is still at $190, which is under what you'd pay for a regular consult with me. If your bid goes over the normal consult fee, I'll scale what I'm willing to do accordingly. www.32auctions.com/organization...

I was going to wait, but since I've got the livestream up and running, I figured I'd share the fun. Head over to youtube and you, too, can watch the bidstream live as the knives come out and the friendships are shattered. Less than 3 hours to go! www.youtube.com/watc...

One last thing: I'm extremely aware that the reason my life was not ruined by telling my story about Kozinski is that pretty much nobody liked and supported him. I have some pretty intense survivor guilt around that that...really isn't anyone's but mine to manage.

My personal feeling is that in cases of sexual assault "I'm going to wait to see what else develops" is a fine, but if you loudly announce that what you're seeing is inadequate and not enough and should not be believed by anyone, that's not waiting to see what else develops.

I also want to add some context to this from the #VoteRiders website. $35 funds the cost of securing a vital document (such as their ID or birth certificate) for one voter $50 pays for directly contacting 100 voters, targeted because they are likely to need ID help

I just downloaded the current sales sheet to do some quick math, and over the past week y'all have snatched up 2,423 Buy it Now items to raise a collective $53,003. So when we say those $1 and $5 and $10 and $20 items add up, WE ARE NOT JOKING!

Welcome to the last day of Romancing the Runoff. The fight to the bitter end is not starting today; we have fought the entire week. But it IS finishing. Update your proxies! Shank your enemies! Betray your friends! THE END IS NIGH! www.32auctions.com/R...

I think everyone who was like "great, now every environmental group ever should sue!" underestimated how swiftly those groups would be dwarfed by the juggernauts who are already collecting billions and billions of dollars from us and want more.

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.

Hello and good morning to everyone, but especially to my scarily competent big sister who knows everything.

Good morning Bluesky. My worldbuilding consult is currently priced at $187.50. That's a bargain, considering that it's well under what you'd pay for a consult if you contacted me directly. Plenty of room for bidding! www.32auctions.com/organization...

About five years ago, I opened my DMs on the bird site and told people I would listen and believe them. The accounts I heard were horrifying and heartbreaking. Some perpetrators were too powerful to tackle, as they were wealthy and litigious. I am not surprised today. #believesurvivors
