One thing I've always been fond of is our windows.

Having contiguous exterior\interior spaces was important to us- but early on we realized interiors needed different ambient light from the exterior to feel properly cozy

My lines are really solid. Especially for tattoos. And I'm really happy with my command on value and solid black 🙏
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

"A.i." is not inevitable. We do not have to "learn how to live with it." It's a faulty, destructive, disinformation-pushing, environmentally destructive product pushed on us by right wing billionaires, and we can ALWAYS say HELL NO. gregpak.net/2025/12/19/i...

Easy.

Les Miserables or Meteora

I've done it before (with both) and I'd do it again.
If someone put $1,000,000 on the table and said you had to listen to one album on repeat for 48 hours straight…
what album are you risking your sanity for?

Examples in this thread:
I’ve updated the limit to be across the board! I’ll likely close the larger commissions soon so I don’t get any too late in the game 😅

Here are some of the commissions I’ve done so far, despite saying I wouldn’t start until next week 🫣👍

These codependent idiots are separated in game right now (and have been [unsuccessfully] pretending to not be codependent) and I'm trying to figure out which one of them is going to break (go see the other) first.
Its #OCtober but what if I just make you look at them

There is NO ethical use of AI. None. I hate it when ppl say they want to engage in "ethical AI." It doesn't exist. If you're pro-AI, you're pro-theft, pro-exploitation of ppl in poor countries (ahem, non white ppl), and pro-destroying the environment. How is ANY of that ethical?

Big news -- I will report back when it's done, but I think the tweet deletion sites are still online (the API change/privacy broke them, but it looks like if you work from an archive, it can still delete things, even if your account is private!)

hey so this is blatant false information punishing people for doing the right thing. no, it was not a "grabber". it was a reputable survey site that discord has used previously for limited surveys.

nothing can """grab""" information if you dont provide it, which an anonymous survey didnt ask for.

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

the way you stay plugged in to movement work is by working constantly on community

learning how to BE IN community is an individual skill

actively working on your own accountability

deprogramming the white supremacy, ego, misogyny you bring to the work

it takes practice and you'll make mistakes

I want us to stay focused on the grief of this terrible moment, but when Black people tell you not to touch something, that is not a challenge. Some things are ours for a reason. We can remember Renee Good as the person she was and the circumstances of her murder without co-opting Black suffering.
“Say her name” is not about allyship. It’s a term crafted for people who are the focus of violence that deliberately erases us. It’s not for her, and it wouldn’t be for her, even if she were Heather Heyer, who didn’t get it when she died for civil rights. Can you understand that?
