Flowers for Radon

Gift art for my friend @werelycanthrope.bsky.social . Inspired by a Silent Hill F poster I really liked online! #RodSharkArt

A digital painting done in Procreate of a werewolf with a scarred eye looking at the viewer, the scar side covered in bloody looking flowers, and the other side in a serene blue with pastel flowers in the back.

Yes! Instead we got rid of the person who needed that job. And who would have done it better.

I love and trust my friends, my loved ones, my family (sometimes), but sometimes I'm legitimately scared I can easily drift into the background and never be acknowledged again. That I'm not worthwhile keeping in people's lives.

I know I can show up in their lives but also, what if I do wrong?

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

As for point 1, and this is critical: The microblogging paradigm in its current form is *shit*. Add spaces for communities where they can have rules, people to enforce them and isolation from the global scope. I have talked about it so often how none of the current design makes any fucking sense.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

More spaces we *own* is exactly where my mind is.

Tinc! @tincfox.bsky.social · 19d

Bsky the *company* needs to make money someday, VC funding will only get them so far (even if they are a PBC). And that means either paying for the site or dealing with ads and all the baggage associated.

I think we also need to have online spaces we own. Not just rental space we occupy.
