In honor of all the angry Trumpers in my mentions today, I'm offering a special Make Trumpers Mad flash sale on my newsletter. 25% for twelve months. That's $3.75 a month, or $30 to buy the whole year.

I'd love to get ten new subscribers today. Can we do it? Can it happen?
I give you game design experiments, pop culture musings, political analysis... I'm branching out to support other freelance writers with paid guest posts, including an upcoming one I'm very excited about.

My ability to do the last one is tied to my budet, though.
Wow, I said ten subscribers and we're halfway there already. Thank you!

Whoo! We hit the goal, but the flash sale is going to last until midnight tonight, Eastern Standard Time. Still time to get in on it!

Transmissions from a Point in Space

When the only sure things in life are death and gatekeeping.

A sidenote on this one... occasionally, when I point out that some author of a particular stature isn't actually a household name, I get people going, "Oh, like anyone has heard of you."

And statistically, no. No one has heard of me. No one has heard of most people.
I think it's worth remembering that, any time some Big Name makes waves. Most people haven't heard of most people. It's a simple fact of life.

Related to previous thread: I'm actually a cusper, though I hate saying so because every time I say "I'm either a millennial or gen x, depending on who is counting.", I get people replying to tell me with confidence exactly where they think the divide is, as though it's canon.
I think date ranges work good as a generalization but descriptive benchmarks referring to shared experiences can work better for individuals. On those grounds, I consider myself more solidly a millennial.
This is very much a mood.

The weirdest thing about Generation X being erased is that in the late 80s and early 90s, before anyone was calling anyone millennials, marketers were directing things at tweens and teens (those who would come of age at the millennium) and calling us Generation X.
Like, I feel like Generation X really caught on as a pop culture and marketing buzzword *just too late* to be used to market to the Youths but it was such a buzzy word they powered through and did it anyway.
I'm pretty sure "Generation X" was the yearbook theme one year at my high school, at a point when only a small portion of the school was on the cusp of the trailing edge of the most elastic definitions of the cohort.

Today I donated $250 to my local @NDP campaign.

Why $250? Because that's the amount my family spent last month on insulin and diabetes supplies without #Pharmacare.

Do you think Canada can't afford Pharmacare? Give me 4 minutes to explain why we can't afford not to. 1/ #cdnpoli
First, let's touch on why #Pharmacare is important. This may seem obvious, but we often seem to forget that for the vast majority of medical conditions:

Medication is what makes you better!

Going to a doctor without a charge is grand, but... 2/ #cdnpoli
Going to the doctor isn't very useful if you can't afford what they prescribe.

And the reality is that many Canadians can't. 1 in 20 Canadians don't take prescribed medications because they can't afford it. Nearly as many don't heat their homes or skip meals... 3/ #cdnpoli

@Don_TEE @educatpost @KingAmeka Not €7000, it's almost 9000 now. And yes the money is to handle your expenses but you have to withdraw a certain maximum per month. But if you can get a sponsor(someone receiving a certain minimum salary), then you don't have to have this sum can be waived.
@Don_TEE @educatpost @KingAmeka Also regarding working, you get a certain limit( 120 full days) or 240 half days. That means you can work for 6 months full time (40 hours a week ) or the whole year part-time (20 hours a week). Minimum wage is about 8.5 euros per hour and students don't pay tax.
@Don_TEE @educatpost @KingAmeka Tuition is basically free but you pay a semester fee (between 100 and 400 EUR per Semester). This fee is most used to cover a semester ticket which means with your student ID you can use public transportation without charge in your city or state.

Good evening folks!

It's now 7pm GMT and I'll be offering #tarot readings for the next 6hrs (2am GMT) check link below for details

But like last night while I'm not doing readings I'm going to be doing a Halloween/witchy/tarot thread here so enjoy!

I'd like to begin tonight's thread by showing something that means a great deal to me.

I am a celtic pagan and was raised loosely as such. For my 13th birthday I had a coming of age ritual and was given my first book of Shadows by my mom.

Here is the handwritten inscription image is a handwritten inscription in a book it reads.<br /> <br /> you are the new wave, my love.<br /> walk bravely, my child<br /> but, safely and for the benefit of mother earth.
image is a handwritten inscription in a book it reads.

"you are the new wave, my love.
walk bravely, my child
but, safely and for the benefit of mother earth."

These words fundamentally helped shape who I am and I hope they help someone else too.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
