I feel like new Defunctland videos are like whale falls — massively well-researched documentaries, landing on us in times of need, that nourish a small ecosystem for a sustained amount of time.

There can never be too many patron saints of Hating ChatGPT. If Pope Leo declares St. Remedius to be the first, I’d rejoin the Church. (Your moment of horror: 40 years ago, I almost joined the priesthood, so this offer is saying something.)

Hahaaa I didn’t realize this would break containment — those are some transhumanist iconographies that I find personally important. Rejecting the machine as the path to human evolution, embracing the augmentation of the body — antidepressants, HRT, things that actually allow me to be creative

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

After rent and bills this month I could use any help for those who can give. We’re heading into the cold weather here in Massachusetts and just got our oil tank filled ($600).
my Venmo is @nal-wu (preferred), or you can send a tip to ko-fi.com/naladraws
Ugh. I feel so terrible :( I’ve made maybe $1000 since this June when I got laid off. So if that puts anything into perspective for yall 🥲 I’m on food stamps now so at least that helps a little.
