most embarrassing internet moment for me has to be when i thought it would be fun to try joining the chat on a twitch stream and chat roasted me for being old (my username has 97 in it) i got cyber bullied by kids probably 10 years younger than me and i’ll never recover

it’s way too much for me to be regularly applying to job after job, keeping on top of my labour case from my last job, and trying to be creative. i need a good 1-2 hours to just ponder before i make any good stuff with my art. even jobless there isn’t enough time in the day

"If you're so against Israelis selling Palestinian land then sell your private property to Indigenous people."
First, I don't have any. This is Canada. A one bedroom house costs 3 million.
Second, I want the government to honour its fucking treaties and negotiate in good faith. So yes. Give it back

i hate how deeply ingrained the “you live to work” mentality is ingrained in us. even now that i’ve finally found how to give myself permission to do creative things or just things I’m passionate about. even still my reflex is “must make tiktoks or content out of the process to maximize profit” 🤕

I wrote about Taylor Lorenz, ambulance chasing in the face of trans trauma, and why articles about dead trans kids should probably actually be about those dead trans kids. It's a lot to say but I might as well fucking say it all: jude-doyle.ghost.io/i-dont-care-...
I Don’t Care About Your Brand
Nex Benedict, Taylor Lorenz, and why trans trauma is not your goldmine.

It’s rare to read a quote that makes you picture Marshall McLuhan saying “Jeez, dial it back.”

1994: internet is ephemeral

2004: internet is forever

2014: only internet is forever. Print pubs and owning physical media are for idiots

2024: your favorite shows have been removed for tax breaks and private equity firms bought up the websites you worked for and deleted your entire life's work

nah this is some next level disappointing (but not at all surprising) behaviour from media executives

They literally have these listening devices planted wherever Black people live in NYC. Basically all of Brooklyn (where I now live), Harlem, all of the Bronx, Far Rockaway, and South Jamaica Queens (where I grew up).

I've wanted to see this data for a long time.
