I know all the writers were having it out over piracy yesterday, and I didn't say anything, but my big hot take is that people who pirate my work are dumb

Not because I find it morally wrong, but because I give it away for free already, dipshit. You're wasting your time pirating it!

Like, I don't know, y'all. Class analysis is important, but everytime I see it used in the wild on this site, it's to call other workers class traitors and rent-seekers so they can moralize not paying for shit or treating them like trash

I've been working on this book since 2022 and it used to make me feel like I was spinning my wheels trying to make a failed project work, but honestly that's just the last of the internet brain worms dying off in the back of my skull

Wow, you let the story cook for a while

How horrible

In my latest newsletter, I talk about the promise of the internet, the horrors of social media, the fear of performance, the desire to live publicly online, and how I'm trying to reconcile all of these contradicting realities

If you saw me "doing discourse," no you didn't

You saw me have a thought or reaction in public

If you try to project it onto some other conflict you made up in your head, I'll find you

People arguing whether artists are petit bourgeois so they can treat them like shit is so funny to me

Yeah, I own the means of production (my little fingers)

Now what?

ICE is in Baltimore. They were spotted on Loch Raven Blvd near the county line. I am looking into networks sending out real time info on their activities and will share when I know more.

“We’ve tried to not have to do it, but we've got direct orders,” the masked ICE agents told them www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...
"I asked for their names. They didn't give me their full names," Hestmark recalled of the agents. "They didn't show me their badge numbers. They didn't remove their masks. They simply said, 'We have a warrant for his arrest, and they handed me a QR code, and they put my husband in handcuffs. And they took him and said I couldn't follow." "She was just stunned," Paul said. "She kept asking what was wrong, what did we do? We'd done everything right." "We kept asking them if there was something we could do, if there was any way we could keep her from being separated from the family," he continued. We’re just trying to figure out what's happening, and they're just telling us, I'm sorry. We’ve tried to not have to do it, but we've got direct orders."| • "I had to take my baby, our baby, from his crying mother's arms," Paul said. "We were completely shocked, and I feel like we were tricked," Hestmark said. "We went through every possible legal and appropriate channel. We followed the advice of our lawyer. We were told that our case was straight forward." "He just wanted to be part of this country and for us to start our future together. And he wanted to do it… "Tom isn't in the system. I can't find him," Hestmark said. "I can't call him. I can't put money into his account. The lawyer doesn't know how to proceed because he hasn't been charged with anything." Both said their spouses were able to call them Thursday night, and they believed they were still being held in the basement of the federal building as of Friday afternoon. "She said that she was scared. She was anxious, missed her baby. She just wants to come home," Paul said. "She said the agents themselves were in the detention down in the basement of the federal building, saying, What are we doing here? These aren't the sort of people were supposed to be arresting.” "They hadn't given him anything to eat or any information," Hestmark said. "They gave him a mat and a foil blanket to sleep on." As she was detailing his arrest Friday afternoon, Bilger called Hestmark again from detention. She said he told her they had moved him to the Otay Mesa Detention Center and back but he hadn't slept and still hadn't been processed. "My wife's alone and terrified," Paul said. "My baby doesn't have his mom to hold him. I can't work right…
