I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

This murder is why we still have to say BLACK LIVES MATTER

Kingsley Bimpong should be alive.

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

(watching a population vigorously oppose subsidizing the welfare state while also maintaining one of the world’s largest prison systems) these are people who love to be free

Me, two edibles deep, staggering around the kitchen, fishing a ben and jerry situation out of the freezer:

OHOHoHO-HoH! This Is Gonna FUUUUCK

"But fair play to him [Louis C.K.] in one sense for getting out of his comfort zone – he has a whole bit about giving up weed and yet here he is visiting a place where getting stoned is common."

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing worldbuilding for a webcomic, not writing a novel, and that I have different priorities to weigh. Still putting the writing first, but I'd like to shake off the rust and get back to making art this week as well, if only to stay sharp.

Boosting Ahmed and Kholoud's fundraiser again. It seems like their account keeps getting deleted by Bluesky mods. Please throw them a few bucks if you can, they are living through hell: gofund.me/bc22a5890

I am Kholoud and my husband Ahmed. We have two daughters, Ghazal and Malak. We were displaced from our home in Gaza for over a year. Now we are displaced again, striving to protect our children who have known nothing but war and displacement. We desperately need your support.🙏🏻

After a good run of multi-thousand word days, I think I'm settling into 1000-1500 words as a sustainable daily writing goal. Gives me a bit more time in my day to read (an essential ingredient) and draw (the thing I keep forgetting I've dedicated most of my life too).

Are you telling me former prosecutor Kamala Harris wasn't literally Antifa?

I really admire your work, keep it up!

Amaaaayzinnng!

I've heard every "we have to hit them where it hurts" argument in the book, and none of them are beating the allegations that people just want to make fun of fat bodies.

You are telling every fat person in your life that they disgust you, that their bodies are comical or degenerate or useless. You are telling every fat person in your life you don't respect them.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

Sadly no amount of tinkering will make my laptop as cool and sexy as a notebook 😔

Serious answer though, I mostly mean that I find it easier to write away from any screens and distractions, especially for first drafts and brainstorming, so the notebook works really well for me, and are fun!

But mostly I can't focus if I have internet access so the notebook is better for me than a laptop

I love my worldbuilding notebook. Writing longhand is cooler and sexier than typing plus you get to do silly little doodles in the margins

Oh 100%, I've done a couple runs since completing the game and I literally groan every time I run into Chronos. It's almost embarrasing. You can feel the cavities forming it's all so saccharine.

Have not dug deep into the postgame yet because I was so turned off by the ending, though I'm sure I'll keep chipping away at it. Story aside, the gameplay is still outrageously fun

Fair enough! For me, it was too tidy and cloyingly sentimental without earning its sentiment. Given the stakes the story gestured at, to resolve things with what amounted to flicking a light switch from "bad" to "good" really felt like a betrayal of expectations, not a satisfying subversion of them

This looks awesome, I'll definitely check it out!
