Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

This is just to say

I am coveting
the cheeses
that are in
your fridge

there are fifteen
you got them for free
and are saving them
(and gloating)

Forgive me
they sound delicious
so flavorful
and so ripe

The tumblr post about RMS Carpathia reminded me of one of my favorite paintings ive ever done of an ocean liner

It is breathtaking

Why do I feel like I’m going to want every tier of this Kickstarter?

To teach in the time of ChatGPT is to know pain LLM use is the most demoralizing problem I’ve faced as a college instructor.

“The friction matters”

I’m lucky to work in a k-12 system where I have the autonomy to ditch the tech and do assignments in class. You can absolutely tell who does their own preparation for major assignments, and who has always been doing their own preparation, too

Oooohh this is gonna be so GOOOOD!!

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

It’s nice to not be ashamed of my ancestral homeland for a change! I hope Hungary is only the start

In case you didn't see it yesterday, the entire Reanimator Mysteries series is on sale for a limited time!
Grab it for an autistic necromancer, his undead love, and the mysteries that bring them together🫀

Now I’m picturing you throwing the book at us and running away, cackling maniacally

I am SOOOO looking forward to this one!

Think ADHD makes waiting for an appointment hard? (Appointment at 3, can’t do anything all day)

Try ADHD and waiting for a book to be released. Book comes out Monday, so I guess I can’t read anything the entire week before.

I'm a WNBA player. Don't use athletes like me to exclude trans women. IOC's policy invites unequal scrutiny. We cannot choose our genes or chromosomes, but we can choose whether we protect the dignity of every athlete.

WNBA star Brianna Turner has written an article denouncing the new invasive sex testing requirements of the IOC.

Did this post make me even more excited for Renaissance? Perhaps…

Best photo. Excellent child.

If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America

Now more than ever y’all desperately need to read @swordsjew.bsky.social book Wild Faith and help yourselves understand exactly how and why
the Christian right is manipulating the US government into this war with Iran

This is one of the most important texts of our era.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

"Moon's haunted"

Product placement is getting creative these days

What a beautiful moment.

No, looks good. It being close to the antechamber is helpful

Oohh, yes, do read the first Dorothy Gentleman book! I am so excited to start the sequel.

NASA’s Artemis II Crew Flies Around the Moon (Official Broadcast) YouTube video by NASA

Did not expect to find myself sobbing over the Artemis II crew naming lunar features, while watching them crying and hugging. What a beautiful moment.

"Cognitive surrender" leads AI users to abandon logical thinking, research finds Experiments show large majorities uncritically accepting "faulty" AI answers.

“…the researchers argue that AI systems have given rise to a categorically different form of “cognitive surrender” in which users provide “minimal internal engagement” and accept an AI’s reasoning wholesale without oversight or verification.”
