"I got smacked as a kid and it didn't do me any harm!"
Yes, it did, my friend - you think it's okay to physically assault tiny people who are weaker than you with no power and actually look to you for protection. You are, in fact, really quite harmed.
Army veterans have just staged a PEACEFUL PROTEST at the Capitol Building against the war in Iran and we're arrested!
How long before Trump denounces them as domestic terrorists, unlike those nice tourists who showed up there on Jan 6th?
I've read this Kafka parable. It haunts me.
do you know where this is hosted at all?
For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them
If Proust was alive today he would spend all his time on Google Streetview
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.
just a regular reminder to folks that while, yes, hot goth chicks are hot, they're also goths, and as a whole goths are the lord's most tiresome people. wanting a hot goth gf is like when you see people saying they want exotic wildcats as pets. sure, some people can manage it, but not you

10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.

Original cassette copy of Pixies' "Doolittle" album — released 37 years ago today — procured at some point in 1989 through the Columbia House record and tape club, along with a dozen or so other cassettes, for a penny. Good times.

At the root of Kurt Vonnegut’s writing rules - especially the last one - is an understanding of the warm communal social value of *comedy* as a form of collective storytelling about ourselves.
No mean tease. All sharing. Let your people in.
That’s why he’s so funny, human and wonderful.
Cover of book "Locker Room Talk: Women in Private Space", nominated for the Minnesota Book Award Best Anthology
Red text saying "Through a prismatic series of essays, “Locker Room Talk” indexes the myriad shapes of women’s behind-closed-doors encounters: from the mammogram suite to the BDSM dungeon to P!nk’s backstage dressing rooms. These stories reveal the myriad ways women care for themselves, each other, their communities, and our world. Available only through Asterism Books"
We are delighted and humbled to have our book LOCKER ROOM TALK nominated for the Minnesota Book Award for Best Anthology!! It feels too appropriate to have this collection protesting Trump's misogyny to be recognized now at the onset of another Trump term. Buy @asterismbooks.bsky.social
A fart rune: a weird mark on a bit of paper. It looks a bit like someone standing behind a table, or an alien spaceship, or a large T shape behind/in front of a horizontal line, and two diagonal downward strokes at either end, like table legs
It’s April 10, and that can only mean one thing. YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 370th anniversary of Jón Jónsson and his son Jón Jónsson being burnt at the stake in Iceland for attacking a priest (called Jón, obviously) with witchcraft and for casting fart spells on a girl using fart runes 🧵
My crim professor had to end class early the day we went over sexual assault bc the men in a large lecture hall which was mostly men kept asking the most horrific questions indicating they were just realizing they’d committed sexual assault under the law and deciding the problem was the law not them
fucking stupid is too kind. What a tosspot.
I love Naomi and I'm going to read the new book she has coming. Always on the money.
It's quite destructive of culture, particularly when you consider music. It's a complex point: I write, I want to get paid. I want artists to get paid. I also think people who develop art and change it are hugely important. imagining a new story for an old character gives them life and relevance.
Would be a truly horrific move
which is largely what i did as a child anyway, i used to make Lego environments and inhabit them star wars toys. Later i got really annoyed that there were no stories where Spiderman met Judge Dredd, so I wrote a few. No idea what happened to them..
