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.

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Back home after an exhausting weekend in the woods. There’s nothing quite like the wave of joy that hits you when fifty girls from 5 to 15 old sing-scream their faces off as they roast marshmallows around a campfire. 12/10 do recommend.

It’s A for me.

I’m a writer, in that I write and pitch and send invoices and arrange travel and post online and don’t get health insurance and pull taxes out of falling flat rates and have to learn video and streaming and juggle several social media sites and take care of my own home and life stuff and

As someone who also collects magnets as trip souvenirs, this was a delightful rabbit hole to fall into this morning.

If you're a journalist who is still on substack, it is NOT ok.

Yeah, same here. Every time I see an ai flyer on Facebook, it feels like a slap to the face.

Right? Her school is super overcrowded, but the new high school doesn't open until 2027, and I think that's all they can do to get everyone cycled through the cafeteria. 🙃

Interesting! Yeah, those of us who could leave had to have a vehicle or some form of transportation (we often carpooled) bc there wasn't anything w/in 15 minutes of the school & also had to be in good standing. Our advisory teachers knew who was at off-campus lunch.

See, but my Texas high school had it! I think its bc her school is so huge, and they only get 25 minutes for lunch.

Right? I think California is kind of the exception bc of how many open campuses y’all have though. But yes, it’s such a disappointment!

Aaaaand I just saw a video on IG where a stop-motion animator (tinygrandma) got flagged and booted bc their video was wrongly flagged as Ai. I think we all know why. 😑

I saw a video this afternoon about some stadium being set on fire. Was built using locals’ taxes, but tickets are priced too high for any local to attend anything.

Ai centers are set up & take up local resources w/ no benefit to anyone. The sentiment is: “They just take and take and TAKE!”

Found out one of the guys who hit Altman’s home is from my county, and it’s the first time I’ve been proud of it being in the news! 😅

Talking to my youngest and she said that Seniors aren’t allowed to leave campus for lunch. I was shocked.

Having an hour to go get food with friends Senior year was THE PERK we looked forward to most in high school!

Did y’all have off-campus lunch? Does your local high school have it now?

Boycott Target because their AI might randomly and falsely accuse you of theft and then have you arrested and upend your life.

Right? There are some pretty cute x-stitch patterns out there with a frog and seam ripper (the tool we use to cut up the threads).

Yes! Those are also good. "Confetti" stitch is another good one. (I hate them, lol. I'll try to do a pin stitch when possible instead of traveling with thread. )

I knew *exactly* what you meant in your first post. 😆

This is good news!

My favorite is "frog" in cross-stitching. The term is because when you have a mistake on a piece, and have to undo it, you "rip it-rip it-rip it."
