So, financially speaking, this last couple of years has kicked my ass. I've employed part-time and my food/housing are secure, but I am not in a position to meet some other necessary expenses coming this month. If you're so inclined & in a position to lend a hand, I would be very appreciative.

I love talking about the app I use that 90% of people can’t identify it by logo because no one fuckin’ uses it and it’s the best feeling one of em all
(I use photoshop for finishing and prepping for print tho)

My newest creation is Olivia the Semi-Vengeful Guardian of the Earth and Sea and Moon. I designed and hand-sewed her, & I hand-embroidered all her flowers & markings. Olivia enjoys gnawing on enemies of the Earth and Sea and Moon and slapping them with her tentacles.

I love being safe inside of my palatial bunker after destroying society when a knock comes upon the door. Ah must be my men. Coming to thank me no doubt. I'll have to award them an extra ration of broth.

This is beautiful. But also, **** that guy for asking. Like Americans haven't had multiple revolutions. And you didn't even respect our black elders when they tried to help you off your ass anyway.
this goes so fuckin hard
”A revolution must be started by yourself. An egg, opened from the outside, is food; opened from the inside, it is a new life.“
Ovum exteriore apertum cibus, interiore vita nova.
Revolutio exteriore est incursio.

Listen, I have been genuinely worried if not outright despairing about electoral integrity for a solid decade+ now. I signed up to poll watch and everything. I believe Trump’s threats to intimidate people at the polls will be met with a tidal wave of resistance. I predict record numbers of voters.

I taught a class on “hope” last year and the few theorists who’ve written on it all point out that hope is the harder choice - that despair is easy and too often fashionable
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Listening to Jurassic Park again and between chapters “Version 4.4” and “Control” I’ve realized that John Hammond is the poster child for “toxic positivity” and “toxic pet parents.” XD

I know Moonlight has been talked about A LOT, but I feel like it’s STILL not enough. As a queer Black man watching this film, I felt seen. I also LOVED how the film didn’t just turn into a softcore porn. That was intentional, I know.

I intend on having a GOOD fucking day. Yes in spite of this current regime, and their reign of fascist terror. I intend on getting REST. Even though the government is being ran by pedophiles, and their protectors. I intend to fucking laugh today. Even while the country I call home

Everybody has it backwards.
Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.
They’re creating a world they control completely

One of the fascinating things about discussing adaptations (esp. in a small social circle) is learning what makes up an in/appropriate reaction or analysis. When one should be forgiving of “changes made to suit the new format” and when the changes are “unforgivable garbage choices.”

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

I don’t have the bandwidth to engage with the friends & family posting their ChatGPT portraits for the latest trend. I wish I could believe the issues with gen-AI weren’t common knowledge & they just didn’t know.
I’m pretty sure they know and just don’t care and that’s so much worse to me.
