NOW COMPLETE!

Here’s a snippet from the first chapter:

Maybe it’s just the apple, and how it’s bringing back memories of Eden. (And the fact that it’s a Red Delicious – Crowley knows a little something about always making the most regrettable choices, after all.) Or maybe it’s something more. Either way, his curiosity is piqued. It’s the most interest he’s felt in anything for weeks.

“I’d recommend the Cosmic Crisp, myself,” he murmurs, sidling up next to his unsuspecting quarry from behind.

Hey, old habits die hard.

“Oh, yeah?” The guy’s voice is laconic and amiable; there’s no alarm in it. Up close, Crowley can smell the weed on his breath.

commission a drawing with Aziraphael and a silhouette with Crowley! I love this work very much, but it was hellishly difficult

These arrived today, and they are beautiful ^^ the pride selection is available at the GO hq for June, so go there and grab stuff while you can ^^

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

This torches everything. And I do mean everything.

A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):

ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives

allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason

preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies

requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.

What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.
