Hi folks! I'm Jake (or Jaymic), and I do some freelance creative text work for Magic. Please expect most of my posts to be about said Magic.
I also dip my toe into story content creation now and again. Might do that soon if I can find the right platform.

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked.

The US's legacy in Latin America is written on stolen wealth & inked in blood.
The seemingly approaching invasion of Venezuela must be opposed by any means - a pointless war for oil & to precipitate a further dictatorial shift for this corrupt pedophile regime.

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.

Yes. We have to point out, over and over, that their coalition is built on both antisemitism and Islamophobia, and they don't care about democratic rights for anyone, whereas ours is against both antisemitism and Islamophobia, and we want democratic rights for everyone.
Never, ever hand it to them.
Never, ever hand it to them.
I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.
We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Does anyone know when the Final Fantasy scene boxes are supposed to drop?
I'm getting the FF8 one (maybe 1 as well) despite myself. Cards look fun as heck, and I've developed a weird fascination with the game despite it being among my least favorite in the series.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.
