If you’re in Seattle, come play a demo of Antifascist Tooth Fairy with me at Pipsqueak Community Space Nov. 13th!

The clown mask

I crunched the numbers for life & I don't know how I feel about the results
168 hours/week
40 @ work
56 sleeping (lol like anyone gets 8 hours ...)
28 eating (assumes 4hrs/day)
That leaves just 44 hours to commute, laundry, house clean, make groceries, rest, make art, build community, & be human 🫠

ME TOO. I was SO confused when I saw the entire first aid kit had been shook out and everything that used to be in my glove box was on the passenger seat, but upon closer inspection it really was best case scenario. They didn't even take my squishables stuffie or red heart sunglasses!

I think I am the first person in the history of New Orleans to have their car broken into but, not only did they NOT steal or destroy anything, they left behind a rhinestoned clown mask.
I should forget to lock my car doors more often!

Dungeons & Doritos also possibly the first actual play to fuse AP and audio drama. It's really meaningful to see my friends and I's work acknowledged historically. ♥️@ruelknudson.com, @bclev.bsky.social, @iloveleftylucy.bsky.social, @dougbanks.bsky.social, @tinkersalvage.bsky.social Et al. 2/3

I'm entering my "gives good advice" era.

Why is there something so poetic about them playing Billy Joel's Piano Man as I board this flight to NOLA, post this LAST CALL weekend? #tennessewilliams #provincetown #lastcall #twptown

i can’t wait to scream “FUUUUUUCK!!!!”with the audience this Thursday while hosting Burlesque N Beyond. It’s truly one of my favorite hosting bits and it seems more helpful now than ever

I wonder if birds ever get lost...
Imagine you're enjoying a day in the sun flying over the sea, fishing the waves—when you suddenly realize you don't know where you are, when you last saw land, & you can't remember what direction that even was.
So I guess what I'm asking is: do birds have ADHD?

We start with intention, then we pay attention to find out where there is tension which allows us to set a new intention and start the process over again.

A**holes can be talented, I just don't care to give them space (as audience or as a producer) bc NEWSFLASH there's SO MANY talented people that are a pleasure to be around who could be working instead.
What if our culture rewarded kindness & left the meanies the time they need for therapy instead?

A screenshot from an academic paper about the impact of AI hype that is highlighted. It reads: We see this dynamic at play in OpenAI's shifting stance and policies as they have become more closely tied to Microsoft, a choice they made admittedly to access scarce computational resources. This is illustrated by the 2024 change to their acceptable use policy, which significantly softened the proscription against using their products for "military and warfare"; this change unlocked new revenue streams [112], connected OpenAI's large scale AI to Microsoft's existing US military partnerships [135], and later pushed AI to direct battlefield application via a partnership with the defense-tech company Anduril [85]. The public did not have a say in this determi-nation, nor, we assume, did the global stakeholders whose interests may not be safeguarded by the militaries that OpenAl chooses to provide services to. And yet, the concentrated private industry power over Al creates a small, and financially incentivized segment of AI decision makers. We should consider how such concentrated power with agency over centralized Al could shape society under more authoritarian conditions.

Currently reading an article about the impact of AI hype. There’s so much here, but the impact of AI investment on the balance of military investment and power is the most damning.

My favorite class in Starfleet Academy was definitely "standing in unison with panache."

It's July.
Why are leaves starting to turn red on the tree outside of my house already??? I didn't think that starting summer in May meant starting fall in August! 😵‍💫

Can we all please please please stop pretending that all you need to do to be good at something Is try harder? Different people are good at different things and I think maybe we'd all benefit by honing the skills we are good at, sharing them, and learning to ask for help with everything else.

The collective noun for jellyfish is a "smack - a coordinated smack of jellyfish 😊🦑

Watching the jellyfish bunching together, I have to wonder if the myth of a giant squid is just a coordinated school (?) of jellyfish...

A government is supposed to support the experience of being human, not define it.

Calling it now— Trump is gonna divorce Melania and marry Pam Bondi (or literally anyone, it's irrelevant WHO—) BECAUSE you know this dumbass wants to host his own royal wedding.

Have you noticed that everyone seems really tired? Like, walking through the poppy fields in The Wizard Of Oz tired?

Apparently it's don't-bother-to-set-the-clock-on-your-oven season, thanks to @entergy.bsky.social daily power outages 🙄

Dear landlords: When you say you have a furnished apartment, what I hear is that you are hoarding not just property but also things, and you're trying to get other people to pay to live in your storage unit.

Me: just needs to put my laundry away
Me, 4 hours later: well, My room is fully reorganized and has never been cleaner... Except for the laundry that still needs to be put away 🙈

Thinking thoughts that got me here ...
It's important to NOT create in a vacuum because eventually you'll return to the world-at-large and will realize that you have neglected some pivotal context.

Shout out to the top 5 skies in the world, pie in the, reach for the, excuse me while I kiss the, Lucy in the, and Blue.

I am dying at how dirty Next Gen is. SO. MUCH. was going over my head when I was watching it with my dad as a kid.
It also really speaks to great sound design cuz they made something that should be followed with an EHHHHH! feel dignified.

OMG
Labulu
🙈

To my fellow Elder Millennials and above: How long did it take for you to realize that Labubu was not just a new slang term? I'll go first:
3 weeks 😹
