over a year ago i took myself on a 35-day road trip from LA to Chicago and back. i only posted about it on my instagram stories, but for posterity i’m going to repost those stories here 🧵

Day 1: on the road, somewhere in northern Arizona

Oh for fuck’s sake.

Cozyfication has gotten far beyond ridiculous.

Rhagana Doomslayer @rhagana.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely wild that @commandersterling.bsky.social was ranting this week about how the word"cozy" has become pervasive in video games and I see this at my local library today

Poster at the library's video section advertising "cozy horror" movies; it's a collage of original posters for the films The Fog, Practical Magic, Misery, Werewolves Within, Let the Right One In, Hocus Pocus, Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton version), Scare Me, and An American Werewolf in London.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Hey all 👋 my living situation has dramatically changed. I should be fine for a few months, but if you'd like to help me make - significantly increased - rent, then any change would be greatly appreciated.

If you've ever considered nabbing anything from me, commission or otherwise, today would be an incredible day to do so.

Might open an eBay to auction some of the originals. Things are officially tight.

My comms are open, just DM.

I would love to offer goods in exchange for financial compensation. So here are some ways to do just that.
You: Get the Goods.
Me: Pays Bills.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Certain celebrity deaths are harder to process than others because the person in question was so full of life and creativity and originality that you just assume it's never going to end.

Well obviously they didn't release it on the right day. If you release it again 3 months from now we'll all go :)

yeah, conceptually i loved the idea. but actually playing her in games revealed that quickly gunning down your opponents wasn’t the satisfying experience i thought it would be
