I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

the ai video nostalgia bait garbage is clearly getting 100 times worse with the sora launch and at some point it's going to be on us to just ignore it

A character sheet for one of my oldest blorbos, who has a Lancer campaign on the horizon. Valista was long overdue one.

‘I Was Wrong About Charlie Kirk’: Six Conservative Students on His Killing

there are people on my college campus who would cheer if someone like me, a young person who openly expresses my traditional Christian beliefs and right-wing political views, were murdered.

The response from most politicians to the tragic news has been to call for unity and condemn political violence. But vague calls for unity and bipartisanship are not good enough. I cannot be in “unity” with people on the left who condone and justify terrorism against Christians and conservatives. There is no “uniting” with the people who want my friends and me dead because we refuse to be silent about our convictions.

A functional society cannot coexist with this destructive worldview.

my piece for the Two Girl Revolution zine! :)

#art #revolutionarygirlutena

Utena and Anthy sit on a grassy hill against a backdrop of the Ohtori dorms and a blue, cloudy sky. Utena yawns, spent from her day of activity. She wears her PE uniform, and her basketball rests between her feet. Anthy sits behind her in her own school uniform, braiding flowers into Utena's hair as she has in her own. Chu-chu sits by Anthy on the edge of the ground sheet, wildflowers strewn about. He is crafting a flower chain. In the distance, the faint silhouette of the castle in the sky is framed by clouds.

It’s kind of surreal watching the fascists and the fake opposition party come together in mourning over the death of an ultimately inconsequential influencer and in real time retcon him into some kind of lionized, mythical figure, a god among men. The fuck? He was some asshole with a very large head

Redesigned my character for @nakathespooky.bsky.social 's absolutely incredible Lancer campaign that we're wrapping up soon.

She's literally the coolest person ever. Her life partner is the eternal struggle of revolution.
