The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead.
Take the pledge below to stop using the r-word. It is wholly unacceptable.

‘So it's what happens when these helpers become gatekeepers, become so powerful that they usurp the relationship they're supposed to be facilitating. And it follows a characteristic pattern.’

G'morning, Peeps. Today I finish my revision pass & see what happens next. Ideally 2200 new words, but realistically, probably not.

This, right here, is why I get cranky when people scold me for "underpricing" my paintings. I have the *privilage* of not needing art income to survive, so I price my art so that it is affordable.

He needs a soft place to land with a family that will give him time to come out of his shell.

I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

This post I think correctly points out that the huge network of off-shore engagement accounts points less toward a concerted foreign effort to destabilize the US and more toward the observable fact that MAGA is a group of the dumbest idiots on the planet
"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."

EXCUSE ME?! I *made* some of that pottery.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Morning thoughts about "AI".
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

These bastards went to court and filed an amicus brief supporting the creation of a constitutional right to bully trans students. This is the inevitable result. It's what they wanted, more dead trans kids.
