Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

years ago I saw a clip of a black poet reading a poem about listening to 'Born in the USA' in the car, that started with how when that song comes on you have to sing along 'because it is good to own something in this country', and I wish I could remember -any- identifying info about the poet
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

'I teach game design': asks if that means programming

'I teach philosophy': asks about the kinds of careers my students get
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

felt obliged to offer at least a little something for nothing to tide themselves over and to soothe my own neuroses, so i worked over an old story (to be *more* florid, not less) that i posted as a single screenshot on twitter, long ago, and threw it up on the patreon, free for all to see once more.

I love me some fiction that disorients and upends me, and tara consistently manages to do that through overwhelming body horror, this shit is grody and gruesome and delicious and if body horror and/or angry women are your thing, but this in your face
some mistakes ... are in the process of being made. perhaps you like the flavor of artistic errors in judgment. perhaps you'd like a taste of terrible women who leave a terrible irritation on one's tongue after they're through doing what they do to most meatsacks like you. i couldn't begin to judge.

Is dust of dryness the funniest magic item in d&D? When you're fighting a water elemental and a fire elemental, possibly

LRT: when my game design students start their first portfolio projects, I give a lecture that starts with a slide that just says 'video games do not exist'

And then I spend a few minutes explaining to them that making video games is impossible, you can only trick people into thinking you have

to make a video game is to constantly be thinking about what elements you need to put into place to trick people into thinking this emotionally troubled computer program you built is a real video game

fun question for the wider bluesky reading audience, should they choose to avail themselves of the tabs that provide it: of the various flavors of "parallel world"/"portal fantasy" fiction that you have personally read ... when's the last time you read one that acknowledged menstrual cycles exist?
