hi everyone!

i'm going back to school. and i could use some help taking care of tuition.

i've long known that i exist through the grace of others who keep telling me i'm worth something. money is *150% NOT* a defining characteristic of that grace -- it is a tough necessity of our life and times.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

It’s crazy being a narrative designer who wrote fake emails and seeing this many real emails from rich evil people with brainworms and going “sheesh even when I had to be extremely on the nose to clarify objectives and shit I was still leagues more subtle and human-sounding than THIS”

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

"But Mastodon sucks" yeah you know what everything sucks I dunno what to tell you, what do you want me to say, hope another good venture capitalist makes another Twitter clone to build up and then shit it all up when it is time to cash in on its popularity by finding a buyer?

Looking for an SF Bay person available for a short-term job cataloguing a large collection of immersive/ARG materials for donation to a museum. You’d be paid as a contractor, expected to take a couple weeks. You’d be working out of my home, so not being allergic to cats would be ideal.

If there's someone doing work out there on the fringes that matters to you, please let them know, because this world is going to tell them the opposite every day.

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

This is still the stupidest most craven thing I’ve seen a dev do in a while. And I hate to see them get away with it, with all these fawning reviews today. kotaku.com/sucker-punch...

I know this is going to sound stupid, but it’s actually true. Disney has been on a crusade of devaluing the visitor and worker experience at the park for well over a decade. It’s palpable how little regard they have for their customers and their workforce. I hope this is a tipping point.
One thing to understand about most “Disney Adults” is that the parks have only gotten more expensive and crowded while offering less ever since they reopened in 2020 so it doesn’t take that much more to make people stop going. And the theme park forums are rightfully pissed about Kimmel

perhaps it was a mistake to layoff, disregard and label any reporter "an activist" for understanding the left, the far-right, internet culture or social movements 😶
