Chicago. Parent. Fat. Bisexual. Bipolar II. Loud. Still masking. Kind of cute if you squint. Nerdy, but in a way that's fairly socially acceptable now. I have a kid, Nikole, who is she/they and a spouse, N, who is he/him.

If you post queerphobic bullshit like "Elonia Musk" or two male politicians kissing or whatever then I'm blocking you.

You don't need to make "ewww gaaayyy" jokes about these dipshits. You can simply point to the actual harm they are actively doing. You don't need to make gay jokes period, in fact.

Speaking of the Norwegian red hats everyone is knitting: knitters have raised over $300k for MN by buying the $5 pattern.

And symbols (like red hats) are a vital part of any resistance movement. They are used to unite members and serve as a visible display of opposition to the regime.

Plenty of people have pointed out that if his point was to make it "hard science," he failed because the science was wrong.

🧵 for any FIYAH authors with published story files/summaries appearing on The Writing Atlas. We weren't involved with this curation (and presumable theft) and are taking steps to protect your work.
Distraught, enraged, and tired. An author cc’d @fiyahlitmag on an email to The Writing Atlas, a site dedicated to “cataloging short stories.” There are 130 FIYAH stories listed with (presumably) AI summaries. Some have LINKS to a Dropbox folder. Our issues aren’t publicly available for scraping.

I would be irritated if everyone liked something I did, I would feel it wasn't art, there are billions of POVs, if I'm not irritating some of them, could I possibly have my own? I don't think so. Honestly.

This is of course different than misinterpreting because some folks can't read/make shit up.

I think some folks will really like our version of Wuthering Heights, some not. It's an unfaithful adaptation, but we wanted the core feel and themes of the book to remain. I think that's important, to hook into something real in the source material and honor that, more so than rote replication.

Not the final colors, but it's nice to experiment while developing the palette :)

I had a chance to take a class with Ngugi and he was an amazing, kind, funny teacher. He'd take me and Wesley--the other Black kid in class--out to lunch and those were not just some of the mist memorable lunches of my life, but they turned W into one of my closest (and now oldest) friends

People in my notifs keep asking how Trump will benefit from TrumpRx dot gov, looking for a financial angle.

I think that undervalues Trump's desire to 1) plaster his name on everything 2) replace "Obamacare" with "Trump" — he clearly despises any Obama achievement bc of racial animus
19 of the 43 drugs on the Trump-skinned GoodRx site that is TrumpRx.gov already have generic equivalents. In most cases, the generic is dramatically cheaper.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.

But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

I keep seeing ads for an AI modified version of this where the dude is a bear but waxed and has that viking shaved sides and beard thing and he is also very obviously fucking the helmet. Just balls deep in it.
I wonder if the knight of the seven realms production team also first encountered this painting on horny tumblr

Some might see an unmarried retiree with no kids. I choose to see a divorced retiree whose kids don’t talk to him and who has never met his grandkids
most recent email i have received is a guy who told me i should be lynched. looked him up and he is a 68/69-year-old retiree in phoenix who doesn't appear to be married or have children. his facebook page is nothing but reposted memes and AI slop and he used to post a lot on gun forums

Everyone’s saying very good emo jokes about this guy but I would like to add that he looks like he’s at my con table in 2008, asking if I drew my comics myself
Was this very mid-2000s emo person press-ganged into ICE servitude?
