When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

🪐 CONTRIBUTOR INTRO #30 🚀

Introducing: @cassiopeia141.bsky.social 🌟 Isn't that winged Vash stunning? Cassi's work is defined by intense color, a painter's eye for light and shadow, and strong visuals that challenge us to think deeper on her subjects.

somehow made my way into another zine :O!!!!!
I'm so excited to be in this zine and getting to see what all the other talented contributors are making for it, y'all make sure to check it out :D

This also means that sometimes Vash goes outside and yells at a fucking tree for half an hour and then comes back in pissed off (they can definitely still talk to each other)

"cooking is an art, baking is a science" both are both actually. there is artistry in science and science in art, you cannot cleanly separate these ways of knowing

Show off your snake #art! 🐍

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!

Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.

That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

I literally pirate all my streaming so I got nothing to cancel. I encourage everyone to do the same though. streaming services are organized scams that talked people into forgetting what a basic cable package was like.

spend your money on libraries and hard media

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

Starting out my new bluesky career with the knives post everyone loved on tumblr #trigun

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos

• Skin is being smoothed or sharpened

• Features like ears are being altered

• YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity

• There's currently no way to opt out

thinking bout the time at work someone heard my voice over the phone and then was loudly talking to my coworkers and referred to me as "the gay man" without having even seen me. Clocked that solely based off my voice 😭😭

!!!! Congratulations!!!!!! 🎉🎉
