I would like to thank #Romancelandia for all the info on fair use and copyright from a few years back when blogs were getting dinged. My work has us doing a training and my Twitter friends taught me more than my work
Remember that once non-WGA writers cross the picket line, they won't be able to join the union later, should they want or need to. It's worth reminding them of this.
#WGA seem to have reached a tentative agreement for a new collective contract.
Here's the message, shared on twitter by Adam Conover (of "Adam Ruins Everything"):
"We did it. We have a tentative deal.
Over the coming days, we'll discuss and vote on it, together, as a democratic union. But today, I want to thank every single WGA member, and every fellow worker who stood with us in solidarity. You made this possible. Thank you. #WGAStrong #SupportUnions#SupportWorkers

Oh how I wish that people would stop using invisible disability and mental health issues when referencing people like Mr. My pillow, and other right wing zealots. It's insulting to an entire community and extremely stereotypical. Just ask Olympic gold winner Simone Biles actress, Emma Stone or millions of others.
The fact that Mike Lindell is a combative right-wing asshole into conspiracy theories, has nothing to do with the rest of that community or with health conditions. It has everything to do with the fact that he's a combative right-wing asshole into conspiracy theories, that supports fascists. It's also extremely ablest.
Today for #MinCup23 I'm voting ammineite because guano mineral 😆 I got no folklore for it, even though I vaguely remember reading a bat guano folktale at some point... couldn't locate it. Maybe for the next round.
While three men (George S. Key, Henry Jones, and Edward Smith) were initially sentenced to death for murder, their supporters launched a legal challenge to the Guano Act and the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, argued as Jones vs. U.S. before the U.S. Supreme Court and, when that failed, successfully lobbied President Benjamin Harrison to commute the sentences. By that point, the case had achieved such notoriety that he devoted part of his 1891 State of the Union address to defending his decision.
This support came principally from the Black Baltimore community - especially the Grand United Order of Galilean Fishermen and the Mutual United Brotherhood of Liberty.
While successful in saving the men's lives, the commutation of their death sentences to life in prison meant that Key, Jones, and Smith would spend the rest of their lives in hard labor in brutal conditions without labor protections. Just as they had on Navassa.

@serge@histodons@israel@palestine seems like any engagement with @babka.social, a site claiming to be inclusive to all streams and colors of #Judaism, gets you immediately blocked and posts removed (!?!?!) if you self identify as an #ArabJew ... I'm wondering if @babka is an #ADL puppet, payed to increase statistics of so called #antisemitic hate speech. The immediate removal of any interaction not aligning with their world view is interesting.
Glass garden
Glass garden
It is formed like by the water, frozen.
Cracked laughter.
Elves rush together between the clear flowers
Of the frozen-like branches, of the glass-like trees.
Do they live well?
They don't cast shadows,
Only broken images.
They glow.
In the glass garden
Time gets lost
And stays as a moment.
(Refrain)
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
Nothing smells,
The fruits are tasteless.
Who enjoys it?
Good...
In the crystals light gets lost.
The flowers look brittle and frigid.
Whom should I send this cold,
To realize this emptiness?
It is impossible to gather them,
They burst in thousand of shards,
The tiny cristals, that sing scattering around,
Accompanying the breathe of the elves,
For everyone
Who is ready to listen to.
(Refrain)
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
(Refrain)
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
How everything is so clear, smooth, pure
How everything is so clear, smooth, pure
Only the moon shows the way to tomorrow morning,
Allows a new day for the sun.
The moon kisses light in the glass garden.
(Intro/Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Everything
Blossoms purely like,
Like crystals,
For me in the glass garden.
(Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Entirely of glass,
And cold as ice,
Every tree in the glass garden
Blossoms so purely
Like crystals
Everything
In the glass garden.
(Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
And the flowers look brittle,
It's completely impossible to gather them.
They burst in crystals
That sing softly while scattering around.
And the breathe of the gentle elves
That accompany with the quietest tone,
Through the garden, entirely of light,
To the one, if he can still hear.
(Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden.
Entirely of glass and
Cold as ice is,
Every tree here
In the glass garden
Everything
Blossom purely
Like crystals
For me in the glass garden
(Outro/Refrain)
Entirely of glass,
Cold as ice,
Every tree, glass garden.
Everything blossoms purely
Like crystals, in the glass garden. Goethes Erben & Peter Heppner - Glasgarten
