Me when I watch Measure of A Man: “Why isn’t Data plowing, he’s fully functional? This sucks.”

Two year olds reading One Story

One Story is great, and also enjoyed by those unable to read or write (yet).

we're super cool and chill and laidback, aloof even, it's all whatever, we def aren't going to say it'd be cool if some of you wanted to nominate and/or say nice things about us or anything. WHATEVER.

A new story of mine is in @conjunctions.bsky.social today! It’s about chili and the death of the universe - conjunctions.com/articles/202...

Thank you!

Fatherfucker has a strict requirement for use: it must be screamed at maximum volume, your fists must be clenched, and you must be facing some giant building, at minimum three stories. Screaming fatherfucker in front of a two story house is just embarrassing.

Please, please, please, I need your help!

A vivid, abstract art piece. Bright orange pigment forms a rectangular block with fluid edges. Black pigment melts into the top edge. The block is gashed by strokes of pink which are—in turn—slashed with smaller, linear strokes of black.
