If you want to listen to me talk about The Night Guest and how I have managed to monetise my anxiety by writing horror, you can do so here!

I loved Descent II and I had no idea this existed, what a gift

Terrible default keybinds, but once that was fixed you had six full degrees of FREEEEEDOMMM

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

I just spent $500 on new tires for one, so I'm inclined to agree with this.

It was a REASONABLE ATTEMPT AT PROBLEM SOLVING! He was the man on the ground, and he made the tough decision! Well, man in the water, anyway.

*snrk* I swear I'm never going to get over this one.

Well... I guess it's karma, but it has now happened to me. Despite showing off concept artwork, doing a huge chunk of writing on livestream, and my openly outspoken anti-AI stance, Wet Dreams and Rook & the Crook have been accused of containing AI generated content.

This is going to become more and more like a standard. Save your starting doodles. Record yourself painting stuff. Keep a hundred and fifty versions of your Blender files. Like source control, but even more so.

Imagine making AI bird slop when Jacanas exist

Exercise advice for long covid may be doing more harm than good Exercise has been touted as a tool for managing and treating long covid, but much of the evidence has neglected one of its most debilitating symptoms: post-exertional malaise

This action should be raising alarm bells across the country.

It’s not an annoyance.

It’s a willful and malicious action to deprive the people of the United States of critical health information in order to prop up a government disinformation campaign against vaccines.

Got a little too used to having Chuck Schumer out in front.

Screenshot of a social media post by Brianna Wu (@BriannaWu) that reads: "One of my biggest hopes for the future is that we can come up with some sort of test in utero to determine if a child is going to grow up to be transsexual, and then opt them out of the gene pool. It's, I can tell you firsthand, it's a horrific way to grow up, one that no ethical person should want to inflict on a child. The reason the trans community is so unstable online is the developmental damage that we invariably get. It's like a house being built where every floor is leaning, and by the time you get to the top, the entire structure is unstable. Repairing that damage has taken me a lifetime."

Brianna Wu advocates for the extermination of trans people by engaging in eugenicist selective abortions of fetuses determined to be trans.

I feel like this has been inevitable for a long time. Certainly she was doomed to end up here by the time she decided to go all in for genocide. Can't help but wonder if she could have gone a different path at some earlier point, though.

And because those get laughed off of any platform that doesn't censor like mad. (See also the conservatives' own special subreddits that are *incredibly* locked down.)

A stack of pink books that say OBSTETRIX * Naomi Kritzer on the spine.

My birthday is this week! (I'm turning 53.) And to celebrate, I'd like to do another fundraiser so how about I give away another pre-release copy of OBSTETRIX?

the fascists have been lying, cheating and changing the rules to their benefit for years. turnabout isn't just fair play, it's the only way to maintain some semblance of a civil society.

How did he even manage that? His phone's dead :D

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

The worst it can do is occasionally make Bluesky feel like it has been DDoS'd by a near-state-level sophisticated operation, right?

Ok!

New little thing I put together that might interest you. It’s in beta so it might have some rough edges still.

Are you tired of seeing people with blogs on Nazi-enabling Substack?

Do you want to boycott fascist-captured media?

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that you can get charged for *terrorism* for possessing something that was designed to look exactly like a deadly radioactive source

they're filled with Knowledge, darth

we need more Knowledge

Lonely Boys Gambling Fascism, isolation, and those fucking betting apps.

for @theflytrapmedia.com today, I wrote about how the fascist fuckos want to us to be spectators to our own lives, isolated from each other and literally throwing money and time away

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
