was it entirely inspired by my back pain? yes. but it came out like a story which i haven't been able to do in a while

I would love to see us lend considerably less oxygen to rage bait in 2026. Like just say no.

“I have no professional interest in people looking at my face” is, not to be dramatic about it or anything, an idea for which I am willing to live and die
and god I mean, more broadly - I resent this idea that someone has to look at me to follow what I'm saying, I like writing and I like talking on the radio and on podcasts, I have no professional interest in people looking at my face, leave me alone

At this point it's bordering on dishonest to keep bringing up protein systhesis or cancer detection when all those data centers and chips and greenhouse gases and trillions of dollars are *really* for lying, theiving chatbots, surveillance capitalism, and unethical porn.

engaging with TikTok content as if most of it is posted in good faith is a fundamental failure of media literacy in 2025. people openly brag about how much money they make ragebaiting the algorithm.
if TikTok content outrages you, assume it was made for that purpose and that’s how they make money

waking up with the tension headache you went to sleep with is second only to waking up with the same upper back/shoulder pain you've had for several days that, at this point, you want about 50 needles jammed into it

all the AI slop out there makes me want the most aggressively analog stories out there. like I want a one-of-a-kind homemade zine someone tucked into a baggie in the hollow of a tree, and I want that zine to include a shitty hand drawn map to a treasure it may or may not take 30 years to find

#Jamaica needs our support more than ever right now and, never ones to shy away from self-reliance, they’ve set up an officially sanctioned website for recovery donations. The footage of Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in St. Elizabeth coming in from my family is HARROWING.

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise?
Yeah.
Yeah.
This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Ok query time. Biology is messy and full of exceptions. How does *your* body differ from the usual expected of you as the human you are? Anything big or small.
My mum has an extra vertebrae, a close friend multiple spleens. One sis is built like she works out but eats like a sparrow.

also getting in more practice for cover layouts is always nice too (this one is a mock-up for my vampire wip)
