gentle advice for fellow indies: if you want people to check out your work, you need to put a link for people to go check it out
if you ran out of space and it's in the reply, that's fine, but it needs to be somewhere that doesn't require someone going elsewhere to click a link

They say “But you LIKED this art when you didn’t know it was AI!” like it’s some kind of gotcha.
We liked the original artist upon whose stolen work the machine was trained. Kindly point us in their direction.

The Epstein files are crazy but one thing I'm really concerned with is who replaced Epstein? There's no way in hell these guys just stopped. That's not in their nature. They want more and more and more.

Yes. And this sort of faux-somber, secretly-thrilled fatalism is simultaneously useless and reactionary.
Politics assumes people and places can change (hopefully for the better). The notion that certain cultures are inherently diseased and immune from improvement is straight bigotry.

And I'm wondering--I know a fair numbers of knitters or crocheters here, and you KNOW how we accumulate yarn and tools, and I wonder if I could find enough people up for donating used plastic or wood knitting needles or crochet hooks and extra yarn (or I guess $ to get new ones).

While I have a lot of people's attention:
As some of y'all know, I volunteer at a women's shelter in Brooklyn. Over the time I've been there, a lot of women have approached me about starting a knitting/crocheting group.
The Big Barrier to this is that there is no money for supplies. (cont'd)

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

people who think the count of monte cristo is just a straightforward tale of a dude escaping a prison and revenging himself miss out on quality subplots like "the count is foiled by the power of lesbianism," "the case of the serial domestic poisoner" and "let's talk shit about italian food"

Also, taking "all men are always DTF" (as opposed to "statistically speaking you might as well ask") as a valid prior enables a lot of sexual assaults on boys and men, het and not.
If we don't respect men's bodily integrity how do they take us seriously when we tell them to respect it in others?

and people wonder why I’m so resistant to the whole “Bright Ages” hypothesis!
A medievalist being an absolutely raging, frothing-at-the-mouth antisemite is so funny. Like yeah, dude, congratulations. You really got into the headspace
Should I just do and delete one of these a day until we all die? (people literally send me screen shots because apparently I’m a notorious bitch).
Remember when everyone pretended to hate the LA Review of Books for like two months because of this person?
