Fannish 50 Challenge 2025: Post # 29: Illinoiis Fandom (political)
I'm a proud born-and-bred Illinoisan, a State where there is so much opposition to the Orange-Tinged Dictator. A number of you may know of the ways that my State's Governor -- JB Pritzker -- stands against the Dictator. A number of you may know that Illinois was the very first State to pass legislation opposing book bans in libraries. A number of you may be aware of the Dictator's recent direct threats of war against Chicago with his AI-generated image of Chicago in flames and his "Apocalypse Now" references. A number of you may already have seen Illinois Senator Karina Villa confronting ICE agents and telling them "This is my city. Get out of my city...." but I want to make sure that she gets seen and hopefully this video gets spread.

twin suns of Tatooine taught me everything I know
After some consideration of my options, I have made a Star Wars icon that pleases me. It's a screenshot of the music video for Jeremy Messersmith's "Tatooine" with animation by Eric Power.

THE LAPTOP IS HOME!
Turns out the problem was my VPN not playing nice with my wireless. The problem has been solved, all the drivers have been updated, and the laptop works again :D Now, maybe I can actually get a little writing done this weekend.

Laptop broken :( Which is not unexpected - I'm hard on laptops - but I'd like to keep this one running for a while longer, if I can. The repair shop said they'd have a diagnosis for me this afternoon or first thing tomorrow, and I'm really hoping for this afternoon.
(Not having a computer for a few days really isn't the end of the world. I have plenty of books, a functioning TV, video games...I can entertain myself. But I have Issues around letting other people handle my computer, so it's making me twitchy. Also, dropping it off for repair required me to explain that I fucked around with the regedit two years ago and broke something I didn't bother fixing because I didn't know what I was doing, which is just embarrassing.)
