Insomaniac Kills Sleep

She is not that.

She is Elon Musk. She is Trump. She is a powerful monster with the money to end lives.

Giving her money and creating a demand for her books by engaging in fandom should be seen the same way owning a cybertruck is seen. Harry Potter gear is in the same category as MAGA gear.

I need to see the same disgust and outright hatred of her that I see about all the evil men in her category. I don't know if people see her as less dangerous because she's a woman or if people are worried that hating on a woman will get their feminist card revoked, but she needs to be taken more seriously by a lot of people. She's a big name heavy hitter with more money than anyone should be allowed to have.

Proposed theory: vampires cannot eat solid food but otherwise go wild

Orville Madison: a draft dodger from the WW2, Orville has been a vampire for longest and was their sire’s “favorite”. a wildly neurotic people-pleaser who didn’t have much of a spine to start with, his years as a vampire have ground him down into a mess of coping mechanisms so unhealthy you’d think he was doing a bit if it ever stopped.

Jonathan “Bucky” Buckner: plucked out of the punk scene in the 70s, Bucky is the problem child and the “only bastard in this house with any self-respect”, in his own words. he’s made twice the escape attempts of his “brothers” combined, and absolutely loathes Orville, the little bootlicker.

Michael Lyons: a closeted gay man who was turned in the 90s, he’s spent 30 years with his brain as shut off as possible. Mikey is not here right now, please leave a message. his little sister Dorothy became an anti-government conspiracy theorist after his disappearance, and never stopped looking for him.

when you are on a date, and someone has an interest you don't quite get, instead of saying lol lame, try saying hmm i don't quite get that, please explain that to me, and then listen as the other person talks about why that thing is something they are in to.

you might learn something which recontextualizes the matter, and you will definitely learn something more about your date, which is the entire point of dating.

you don't have to be a superfan by the end, but you will have shown you can be chill and take an interest in stuff, which is much more likely to result in a second date instead of being ditched in a coffee line.

We oppose the proposed 2027 budget cuts to state funding for Marylanders with developmental disabilities.  The Governor's budget, currently being reviewed by the state legislature, includes a 10% reduction ($150 million) to next year's funding for the state’s Developmental Disabilities Administration. Disability funding is comprised of state funds with an equal federal match, so this fiscal cut triggers a reduction in federal funding. A $150 million cut in disability funds results in a $300 million overall cut when federal match dollars are factored into the process. If the goal of the budget cut is to “contain costs” for our state, it makes no sense to forfeit the federal match. Maryland has made progress in recent years by increasing funding to address the needs of our loved ones with developmental disabilities.  Over 19,000 individuals receive support services to live, work, and thrive in the community, but a long waiting list of individuals in serious need continues to be ignored. Giving up $150 million in federal funds, which would benefit our citizens with DD, is not the right choice for Maryland.
