They say If a writer falls in love with you, you'll live forever, but what if you break their heart?

I will eviscerate you in fiction. Every pimple, every character flaw. I was naked with you; you will be naked for the public.

~ Butchered quote from "A Knight's Tale".

I have upset many of my readers, I'm afraid. None of my characters is particularly safe from death, and I have killed off some of my favourites - so long as it works for the plot.

I have regretted some of the angry death threats I have got. Didn't regret killing the character, though.

One of my favourite movies. Went in knowing nothing. Next day I was dragging friends along to see it again.

NFC tap-to-login isn't bad. But I'll take it as a card or my phone over embedding a technology into my wrist that'll be obsolete in six months.

But it's chocolate! ... I can't even enjoy chocolate these days without thinking "what about the kids"

We need to do better

@melissabeartrix Those stats are depressing. How can we still be struggling with child labor with these companies...?

... Did you have someone killed and disposed of again?

Everyone doesn't have to like you.

shaknais, 2 months ago

@StillIRise1963 If everyone likes me, then I am doing something very, very wrong.

RickiTarr, 2 months ago to random

Trans people are "forever patients"?

So is literally everyone!

Fuck off.

shaknais, 2 months ago

@RickiTarr 3? And that's just to keep me in one piece. I ain't healthy by any standard.

If someone has a magic pill that makes them feel themself... They're one up on the rest of us.

@golgaloth I can see about the dragons... But there's just no negotiating with pockets. Can't be done. Not possible. Fin.

In that case, time to turn the music up.

shaknais, 3 months ago to australia

Just got a tax debt letter, with one week to pay, from the #ATO. For more than I've ever earnt in my entire life.

Sometimes... Fuck #Australia.

(The ATO is also offline, so I can't quite fight them on it, yet.)

shaknais, 3 months ago

@melissabeartrix Yeah. Catherine King is my MP, so hopefully she can help out. But the ATO is a really gross org sometimes.

It's might be a bit messy, and require programming... But Pipewire can do the Airplay Sink, and then there's this which can bride it to IceCast: https://github.com/radio0but/PipeCast

But yeah, getting messy.
