Welcome WisCONliners

...it was great getting to meet you!

I need to take a week off to rest up after all that wonderful thinking and typing.

Feel free to poke through the 13 (!) years of my journal.

I look forward to interacting with you here.

Content Note Databases

Those of us who can't handle seeing certain things in our "entertainment" may find these sites useful:

doesthedogdie.com
Addresses animal harm, kid & parental death, and much more, including jump scares, strobing lights.

unconsentingmedia.org
Tracks sexual violence of all kinds. (Unfortunately, many titles are presented as images without alt tags; database searches are all text.)
