Share Absurdia with that friend that is still listening to WTNV, the two that like Gravity Falls and The Twilight Zone, and that one that is totally normal about Alice in Wonderland!

At 25k I (and other really cool folks!) get to write for the game!

@aura-autumn.bsky.social 's Little Learner enjoying some neopian cafe food

a stylized cartoon pomeranian with white fur and a huge head messily eats a donut and slice of pie, both made out of gelatin. he is sitting at a table that is labeled number 8 with a menu and crumpled receipt. an empty plate with crumbs peeks into the frame, implying he's already had a significant amount of donuts prior to this moment. he also has an untouched matcha latte nearby.

Explain your username:

No matter your frame of reference for Tracys, I'm the other one. Seems demeaning at first glance. Long-term, it makes me unforgettable.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

i've read this poem every day for the last three weeks and i am still awestruck by how it flips the refrain in the closing. the emotional inversion is so fucking good i don't even care that it ends with a couplet it's SO WELL CRAFTED AAAAAAA

www.149review.org/in-every-lov...

in every love poem i write myself, you are the antagonist
Davey Long

cigarette stained car seats, your eyes fixed on the dash,
the outside of your left shoe perpetually scuffed if not worn through.
how i felt sexy like ripples bouncing off the metal roof. you were cool
like a flapping wind through the rolled down windows. a summer savior
so i could feel like a two dimensional girl. picked eyelashes
off your cheeks to make wishes like love me love me not petals.

roll up the windows, i know i’m cooler
with my mouth open

but not talking. my head in your lap

driving below the speed limit.

i’m tepid now. try to gain traction through speech

but your eyes drift.

love
me not
so i can only write about heartbreak and not
important things like what would happen if—

the outside of your shoe perpetually scuffed if not worn through.
i should have known then: you break everything you slip into.

Over the past two decades, indie TTRPGs have evolved from "writing sad things on index cards" to "sad things come pre-printed on really nice card stock"

I apologize in advance for the emotional havoc I intend to reap with this game. Thank you for a beautiful system, @moreblueberries.bsky.social!

pov: every artist and writer you know realizing that social media is collapsing into a bog of rich arrogant dumb-dumbs, leaving us the option of continuing to exploit ourselves on the extremely off-chance we go "viral" OR opting out and resigning ourselves to regional lit mag poverty and obscurity
