Hi y'all, Recently we found out that my brother has a heart condition and will require extensive care. To cover some of the costs I'm running fundraiser by taking up commissions. Most tiers are affordable so people get some good art while helping us out. Plus a $1000 for those who can spare more.💜💜

Didn't want to interrupt my rant. You can find my Charlie and Remy books at jernacious.itch.io. Art by Brian Beardsley and edited by @illusclaire.bsky.social Mostly they are about how the media handles queer representation, less about Mike Flanagan

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

Which is confusing as autism and ADHD are being handled through a mental health strategy, even though they are neurodevelopmental conditions, not mental health conditions. Didn't we have this fight already...in which we removed autism from mental health act?

Being autistic is very interesting bc sometimes you have this ginormous Awareness of what people think and the sense that it’s valued more than you; that your self-perception is less serious a matter than for example appearing frictionless. This can be treated www.patreon.com/illusclaire/...

I promised Cadillacs & Dinosaurs vs Xenozoic Tales thru a lens of girlhood next but it keeps getting more complicated to articulate i.e. becoming a better essay. So, instead, here is the story of my cartoon hair, Brownies, magic, & Daria www.patreon.com/illusclaire/...
