We Were Farmers We were farmers But the rich men came for our lands Invented leases to partition the land, to charge us rent To make competing impossible. “Become a craftsman”, they said. “We will always need more craftsmen.” So we were craftsmen But the rich men came for our labor Invented manufacturing To commoditize craft, to sell more To make competing impossible. “Become a line worker,” they said. “We will always need more line workers.” So we were line workers. But the rich men came for our labor Invented offshoring to find cheaper labor and cut costs To make competing impossible. “Become a coder,” they said. “We will always need more coders.” So we were coders. But the rich men came for our code Invented chat bots to make Writing new software trivial To make competing impossible. “What do we become now?” We asked. “Become a consumer,” they insisted. “We will always need more consumers.” So, we are farmers.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

On tyranny Aristotle and Plato’s words

I’m reading On Tyranny this morning. The connection is clear. Aristotle and Plato weren’t predicting the future. They were describing what they’d already watched happen.

Ancient philosophy came out of real situations people had to navigate. We’re witnessing it today. #Stoicism #StoicSisterhood

On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

A collage of images taken at the Raving Madness club in VRChat. The upper left has three creatures prominently posing for the camera, the upper right a focus on one of the DJs, the lower left a collection of stickers posted on a wall, and the lower right a wide shot showing a wide collection of creatures letting off snowflakes over the DJ stage. The words "Thank you ravers!" are displayed across the middle of the image.

That's one year down, here's to many more!

To all our Staff, all our DJs, and all our Ravers, thank you for an incredible year! We can't wait for you to join us on our journey ahead.

A digital illustration of an anthro yellow cat, named Kai, putting a paw on his chin and the other up in a relaxed position. Kai is wearing a purple collar with yellow bell, a blue vest, and long rainbow arm stockings. He is smiling mischievously with a devious smile. The background is a rainbow swirly pattern with sparkles and hearts.

Dancing as the world burns.

Between my personal loss and the state of the world right now, it feels wrong to spend my time making art. I should be doing more somehow. But it also feels like the only thing I can do with all these feelings.
